Along the line

On a night stage, two unlit lines. The first lights up word by word, each with its glow; then the camera dives in one move into the second, so close that a few letters fill the picture, and glides along it: each letter lights as it passes through the light in the middle and keeps an ember; then the camera draws back slowly while a wave of light lights the whole line.

Other scenes

Big lineOne line, large, written word by word: each word arrives pale and soft, then settles, and the key words take your colour. The line holds a moment, then the small line and the label arrive; a glint crosses the label and the camera slowly comes closer until the end.

Stacked wordsTwo to four short words that land one by one, on the beat, spread over the whole scene: each comes out of a blur a little larger and lands sharp, and the pile rises gently to stay in the middle. The last one takes your colour.

Punch lineWords arrive group by group, on the beat. The full stop is a ball in your colour, which drops in last: your key words then take their colour, the line gives for an instant under it, then everything rests while the camera slowly comes closer.

Typed in the frameA click opens a selection frame, then your words are typed in it faster and faster. The pointer comes back, pulls the frame by its corner, and your words grow with it. Then everything rests, the caret glowing, while the camera comes closer until the scene ends.
