It grows through three sizes, gaining figures with rings, then charts, then a list, over soft colour that changes with each; a second one brings a cover, a button and a queue, turns over and comes back small, and the film signs off in the dark.
Twelve beats in twenty-five seconds, every figure, label, sign and picture yours, and two longer cuts that add seven tiles of their own without repeating one.
Product demos show a product at work: the interface, the feature and what it gets done. The library lists 33 under product demos.
