FROM THE REEL

The 4 steps

  • Pick a style reference: a brand that already looks premium (a big tech site, a design-led startup, or your own).
  • Turn it into one style file: colours, fonts, and how things move (template below).
  • Attach it and describe ONE moment: not "make it look nice" but "a button that snaps into a green tick". Ask the AI to check its own frames and fix mistakes before showing you.
  • Tweak and export: swap in your words and colours, export as MP4.

## Motion
Ease: smooth out, slight overshoot on entrances
Speed: UI moves 0.3-0.6s, big reveals 1-2s
One hero object per scene, lots of empty space
Loops end on a clean, readable frame
Sound on every landing (pop, click, ding)

Motion rules to paste under it

  • One idea per scene, one hero object, centred.
  • Everything eases; nothing moves at constant speed except slow loops.
  • Depth comes from soft shadows and blur, never heavy outlines.
  • Every frame is a function of time, so renders are repeatable.

Example moments (one line each)

  • "A button that snaps into a green tick."
  • "A chart that draws itself left to right with a glowing tip."
  • "Dots that swarm into my logo, glow once, then burst into a ring."
  • "A number that rolls up like an odometer, then keeps ticking."
