RATLOG - Building reusable heavy-lift rockets

RATLOG · Oct 2026 · 1:00 · AI-annotated · YC Fall 2026

00:00:00 / 01:00:21

A founder-led pitch video that intercuts talking-head shots in a hangar lot and workshop with big stat cards and 3D space renders, all cut to a steady ~129 bpm pulse. Signature moves: a locked wordmark over fire footage, slashed-zero display numbers scaling in over live action, and monospace lower-third captions carried through every beat.

Footage neededEstimated needs: 1 official logo — reused across the film · 16 filmed passages — shoot, supply or replace · 3 graphic passages — draw or supply · 4 3D passages — build or supply
