Cardboard’s 0:54 launch film runs 38 scenes, about 1.4 s each. The product shows up at 0:14 and 3 features are revealed. The call to action lands at 0:47 (87% in), over a voiceover. The video intercuts a warm, dimly lit live-action narrative with near-black, 3D-tilted product screens, cutting fast between the character, macro objects, and interface panels. Its signature moves are whip cuts, rack-focus reveals, and lowercase condensed captions that carry the voiceover across both worlds.
Footage neededEstimated needs: 4 capture groups — your screens or recordings · 1 official logo — reused across the film · 17 filmed passages — shoot, supply or replace · 6 3D passages — build or supply
