Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the celebrity-urban-poster-reveal template.
CharacterWalkAndInteract
A character walks into frame, stops at a specific point, performs an action with an object, and then exits. The camera subtly tracks the character's initial movement.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize a `Sequence` component for timing character entrance, interaction, and exit. Implement `AbsoluteFill` for background video. Use `interpolate` for camera `translateX` and `translateY` to follow the character, then hold static during interaction. Character animation can be a pre-rendered video asset or a sprite sheet with `useCurrentFrame` for frame-by-frame animation.
PosterRevealOnObject
A character affixes a poster to a static object (like a lamppost), revealing its content to the viewer. The poster appears to be physically placed.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ `AbsoluteFill` for the background video. The poster itself can be a `Img` or `Text` component. Use `interpolate` on `opacity` and `scale` for a subtle 'sticking' animation as the character places it. Ensure precise timing with the character's hand movement in the live-action footage using `useCurrentFrame`.
TextZoomCallToAction
After a scene, the camera slowly zooms in on a specific piece of on-screen text, emphasizing the call to action.
+ Code construction recipe
Apply `interpolate` to the `scale` property of the main video container or a specific `Text` component. Use an `easing` function like `easeOutCubic` for a smooth, gradual zoom. Ensure the zoom duration aligns with the final audio impact for maximum effect.

Objective
Launch a new AI-powered coffee machine called 'BrewMind'.How the recipe adapts
A famous barista walks through a bustling market, stops at a vintage coffee cart, and affixes a poster that reads 'BrewMind: Now Brewing the Future. Apply for Beta at BrewMind.com'. The camera follows the barista, then holds as the poster is placed, and finally zooms into the website URL. The audio features the same atmospheric drone and impactful transitions.Remix blueprint · celebrity-urban-poster-reveal
