Editorial Structure & Storyboard Timeline (12s Total Runtime · Rhythmic (1.9s avg shot))
- 01 · THE HOOK (00:00 – 00:02 · 17%): Terminal → Live UI Canvas Cut for Ray — Opens immediately on the high-contrast tension point before showing the brand logo, locking viewer retention in the first 2 seconds. (Camera: 1.6x macro push-in with 0ms dead air on frame 1)
- 02 · HERO UI REVEAL (00:02 – 00:05 · 25%): Core Ray Surface & Interaction Loop — Demonstrates the primary action in a single continuous take (3s) with cursor smoothing and highlighted focal bounds. (Camera: Isometric-to-flat spring settle (cubic-bezier 0.22, 1, 0.36, 1))
- 03 · VELOCITY MONTAGE (00:05 – 00:09 · 33%): Multi-State Feature Proof on Downbeat Cuts — Compresses 3–4 secondary workflows into rapid visual proof without narration drag. (Camera: Rhythmic (1.9s avg shot) matched to 126 BPM transients)
- 04 · PAYOFF & LOCKUP (00:09 – 00:12 · 25%): Ray Brand Lockup & Availability CTA — Holds final URL and launch status cleanly for 3s so viewers on X stop scrolling and click the link. (Camera: Clean center lockup with subtle radial luminance decay)
