Applied Compute’s 0:25 launch film runs 9 scenes, about 2.8 s each. The product shows up at 0:04 and 2 features are revealed. The call to action lands at 0:21 (85% in). A 25-second launch built on a single prop, the brushed-metal toggle switch, which anchors every beat against a black field while serif headlines flip between the two modes. It cuts between 3D product shots, flat orange title cards and a minimal line chart at a steady mid-tempo, resolving the opening pick-one dilemma with a single word, Both, before the install URL.

Applied Compute - Introducing Shift-1, a frontier coding router trained on AC2 that red, scene by scene
· 9 scenes as text
01 · Hook · 0:00–0:03
A 3D-rendered metal switch panel sits on the right against black, its red toggle flipping through its positions while a colored LED glows beneath. On the left, large serif words swap in sequence: blue Smart., orange Save., then white Pick one.
On-screen text: “Smart.”, “Save.”, “Pick one.”
Techniques: 3D mockup, Kinetic type
Camera: Static
02 · Hook · 0:03–0:04
A flat orange card fills the frame, holding the black serif question “Why pick?” centered and motionless for the whole beat.
On-screen text: “Why pick?”
Camera: Static
03 · Product intro · 0:04–0:06
A locked-off black frame holds a white-and-orange serif headline on the left and a brushed-metal toggle switch rendered in 3D on the right, its red lever set toward SMART with a blue LED glowing below.
On-screen text: “Meet Shift-1.”, “The state-of-the-art coding router.”, “from Applied Compute”
Techniques: 3D mockup
Camera: Static
04 · Problem · 0:06–0:08
A black void frames a white serif headline on the left and a 3D brushed-metal toggle switch, marked SMART and SAVE, on the right. Beneath the headline two monospace rows sit; the lower highlighted row, carrying a model name, fades in over the second half.
On-screen text: “Most routers classify once.”, “> look into why auth is failing”, “whole task”, “GPT-6-Astra”
Techniques: 3D mockup
Camera: Static
05 · Feature reveal · 0:08–0:12
A brushed-metal toggle box labeled SHIFT-1 renders in 3D on black; its red switch flips between SMART and SAVE, the LED shifting blue and amber, while a monospace log of LLM calls stacks up line by line on the left under the headline.
On-screen text: “Shift-1 routes every LLM call.”
Techniques: 3D mockup, Kinetic type
Camera: Static
06 · Feature reveal · 0:12–0:18
A line chart of Intelligence versus Cost sits on black, a gray diagonal from Cheap to Smart model. A white dot and dashed line flag a less intelligent point; a red Shift-1 dot and left red arrow labeled half the price land on the top line as the headline swaps.
On-screen text: “Most routers are cheap.”, “At a cost.”, “Shift-1 saves without the tradeoff.”, “Astra-level smarts at 50% of the price.”
Camera: Static
07 · Other · 0:18–0:20
A 3D-rendered industrial toggle switch on the right flips between its SMART and SAVE positions, its small indicator light shifting from cyan to amber. On the left, large white serif text crossfades between “Smart.” and “Save.” in sync with the switch, on a black background.
On-screen text: “Smart.”, “Save.”
Techniques: 3D mockup, Kinetic type
Camera: Static
08 · Other · 0:20–0:21
A flat red-orange field holds the single word “Both.” in black serif type, centered and completely static for the entire shot. No motion, no camera move, no other elements.
On-screen text: “Both.”
Camera: Static
09 · CTA · 0:21–0:25
A 3D-rendered brushed-metal switch panel labeled SHIFT-1 sits on the right against black, its red toggle flipping from SAVE to SMART as the indicator light shifts from blue to amber. On the left, static type reads Try it today at shift.ac with an install line and an Applied Compute credit.
On-screen text: “Try it today at”, “shift.ac”, “Install in Codex and Claude Code.”, “Applied Compute”, “Trained on AC2”
Techniques: 3D mockup
