Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the founder-pocket-reveal-launch template.
PocketRevealSync
A live presenter on stage interacts with a large, synchronized video projection behind them, creating the illusion of pulling an object from the projected image's pocket.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize Remotion's <AbsoluteFill> for the stage background video, with a separate <Sequence> for the presenter's live feed. Synchronize the timing of the presenter's physical action with the projected video's animation using `useCurrentFrame()` and `interpolate()` for precise timing offsets.
ProductHeroZoom
Rapid, dynamic cuts between a wide shot of the presenter and extreme close-ups of the product, emphasizing its physical attributes and design details.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement multiple <Sequence> components with varying `durationInFrames` for quick scene changes. Use `spring()` for smooth, yet impactful, camera zooms and pans on the product, ensuring a crisp focus on key features.
ScaleComparisonProjection
A large, semi-transparent hand is projected behind the presenter, holding the product to visually demonstrate its small scale and portability.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ an SVG filter or a CSS `mix-blend-mode` on a projected image of a hand to create a semi-transparent effect. Position the product image within the hand using `AbsoluteFill` and `transform` properties, scaling it appropriately to convey size.

Objective
Launch a new credit card-sized portable projector.How the recipe adapts
The PocketRevealSync primitive would be adapted to show the founder pulling the projector from a wallet on the projected screen. ProductHeroZoom would highlight the projector's lens and compact ports. ScaleComparisonProjection would show the projector casting a large image onto a wall, emphasizing its power despite its small size, with the founder gesturing towards the projected image.Remix blueprint · founder-pocket-reveal-launch
