Product demos3D motion
A film led by its pointer, for an app that keeps what catches the eye. The pointer runs along a dock and presses your tile, your colour floods the frame, and an iris opens on a search bar over a drifting ground.
Product demos
A query is typed in a close-up that travels with the caret; one find resolves out of false colour, the lens draws back to the board it belongs to, and a single press keeps it. A wheel of single words stops on one, that word begins the statement, and the film's small squares build your mark to close.
Eleven beats in twenty-two seconds, two longer cuts that add seven more without repeating one, and every word, sign, picture and colour is yours to change.
Product demos show a product at work: the interface, the feature and what it gets done. The library lists 33 under product demos.
