30 secondsMeridian — Clarity in the noise
A design file that draws itself.
3D product3D motion
A printed magazine handled in a bright studio: it flies in and opens, stands as a cover with a soft shadow, is read so close the headline crosses the frame, then leafed through with pages that really bend.
3D product
Spreads slide past in a row, covers fan out of a stack, the issue lies open on the floor and closes beside its own front cover.
Thirteen beats in twenty-nine seconds; every headline you add is one more page turned, and two longer cuts add seven beats of their own without repeating one: the stack of back issues, the subscription card, a fold-out three pages wide and the band it is posted in, then a sentence marked in a story, the sheet it was printed on and a glass set down on a print.
3D product films give products, screens and type real depth and light. The library lists 15 under 3d product.
