A live-action host in a bright office bookends a dark-green motion-graphics core, moving from piling 3D problem cards to a clean in-app agent walkthrough and finally a metric timeline. Signature moves are word-by-word text reveals, tilted cards stacking into clutter, glowing green connector lines, and white stat cards popping over a radial green glow with a green accent cursor.

01 · Hook · 0:00–0:02
A young man in a navy quarter-zip sweater walks toward the camera through a bright, modern office with marble walls and large windows, speaking and gesturing with both hands. The background stays softly out of focus.
Camera: Static
02 · Hook · 0:02–0:11
A presenter in a navy quarter-zip stands in a bright office, talking and gesturing to camera. Floating spreadsheet windows drift on both sides of him, then fade away; a frosted pill badge with the Y Combinator mark and wordmark slides in at left.
On-screen text: “Y Combinator”
Camera: Push in
03 · Problem · 0:11–0:14
A dark green gradient holds a centered sentence that builds word by word, 'Today,' and 'scrambling.' in green, the rest in white. The line rolls left as it finishes, then cuts to rounded icon tiles, one showing a white spinner.
On-screen text: “Today, internal audit teams are scrambling.”
Techniques: Kinetic type
Camera: Static
04 · Problem · 0:14–0:18
Glowing app icons (AWS, GitHub, Slack, Workday) pulse on a dark teal background, then dim as tilted chat and reminder cards slide in from the edges, piling over the icons into a cluttered stack.
Camera: Pull out
05 · Problem · 0:18–0:21
A cluster of dark notification cards and spreadsheet mockups floats in 3D space over a deep green background. Email reminders from colleagues and an external auditor drift in, then spreadsheet tabs with PASS, FAIL and PENDING cells slide around them. The composition drifts and finally blurs out of focus.
Techniques: 3D mockup
Camera: Static
06 · Product intro · 0:21–0:28
A blurred dark-green dashboard sits behind centered white text; two lines swap in place, with “auditors” and “anymore” in green. The backdrop clears to a dark gradient, the Arden mark and wordmark scale up with a small tagline beneath, then the lockup dims out.
On-screen text: “It's busy work that auditors”, “should not be doing anymore”, “Arden”, “AI platform for internal audit teams”
Techniques: Kinetic type
Camera: Static
07 · Demo · 0:28–0:31
A glowing app icon sits at the center of a dark teal field as thin circuit lines draw outward to a ring of service icons. Green pulses of light travel the connectors while the satellite icons brighten one after another.
Techniques: Light sweep
Camera: Push in
08 · Demo · 0:31–0:33
A tilted 3D Okta admin dashboard fades from dim to full brightness. A green Arden Agent chip carrying a cursor arrow glides from the top-right corner down to the search field, stopping beside it.
Techniques: 3D mockup, Cursor demo
Camera: Push in
09 · Demo · 0:33–0:35
A light admin console fills the frame. A green cursor with an Arden badge glides from the search card down to the first row as the view switches to a NAME and STATUS table, and the dark Arden Agent bar slides up out of frame.
Techniques: Cursor demo
Camera: Pull out
10 · Demo · 0:35–0:39
An Okta admin screen shows the Authenticators table; the green Arden cursor clicks the Password Rules tab, swapping in a rules card. The window tilts into 3D over a dark green field, a dashed box outlines the logo, and a Screenshot Taken badge pops in.

Techniques: Cursor demo, 3D mockup
Camera: Pull out

13 · Demo · 0:44–0:47
A chat prompt card labeled Arden sits over a compliance results table, showing a placeholder question. A cursor clicks the green send button, the card collapses to its header, and the view zooms into the table rows.

14 · Demo · 0:47–0:56
Over a tilted audit spreadsheet, a white Arden card scrolls through timestamped investigation steps. The card becomes an evidence timeline for an orphaned account, scrolling past embedded screenshots, then zooms onto the recommendation and Approve/Escalate buttons as it fades out.
Techniques: 3D mockup, UI zoom
Camera: Pull out
15 · Social proof · 0:56–1:01
A glowing green data icon expands into a pill labeled Connects data, which slides left as a bright line with node dots extends right. A white stat card with a bar chart pops in above, counting up from 0.1 to 0.4, and a green caption fades in below.

17 · Social proof · 1:01–1:07

Camera: Push in
19 · CTA · 1:11–1:14
A white sans-serif URL, ardentech.ai, sits centered on a dark green radial glow. A thin luminous rounded-rectangle outline contracts inward around the text, tightening the frame while the type stays still.
