A search in one gesture

A line draws itself, takes your colours, swells into a capsule and closes into a dot; a search field comes out of a blur while the camera pushes in twice; the dot jumps over it, drops in and becomes its caret. Then your sentence is typed faster and faster: the camera runs after the caret, whips, throws itself onto the emphasised words, and pulls back to show the whole line. Before a cut the field stretches into a banner across the frame and closes. Unlike “Typed question” and “Search and results”, the field is made in front of you and the camera follows the typing.

One clickA hand comes onto your screen and clicks, in time with the music: the screen takes the press, and a label is written to say what it does. Then the hand moves on and the label lights up until the end.

Zoom on a detailThe whole screen first, then the camera dives at once onto the detail that matters, in time with the music, and keeps moving in gently: a frame is drawn round the detail and its caption is written.

Prompt and answerThe title arrives in two halves, from above and from below, and bounces. The request is typed faster and faster into its field, is sent, and the answer streams under it: bars in your colours that turn into lines of text.

Three screens fanned outThree captures rise one after the other and open like a fan, the middle one in front: each arrives tinted with your colour, then finds its own again, and they light up in turn, in time with the music.
