A brand film that opens in grainy rounded-corner archival frames on black, then shifts into clean wireframes, macro lab shots and aerials, driven by a fast montage of about 84 cuts per minute. Signature moves: the rounded film window on black, white serif captions scaling in at the bottom, and the wireframe robot blueprint that keeps resolving into the physical dual-armed robot.
