Sila’s 1:35 launch film runs 48 scenes, about 2.0 s each. The product shows up at 0:02 and 5 features are revealed. There is no explicit call to action; a voiceover carries the film. The video is cut in three acts: a profane headline and logo sting, a fast montage of a designer drowning in app notifications punctuated by flip clocks, then a slow-drift 3D UI tour where cards blur into focus over drifting spheres, and finally the team dancing under the logo. Signature moves are the hard cut between live action and 3D mockups, the blur-to-sharp card reveals, and the four-dot logo bookending the piece.

Footage neededEstimated needs: 6 capture groups — your screens or recordings · 1 official logo — reused across the film · 22 filmed passages — shoot, supply or replace · 1 graphic passage — draw or supply · 12 3D passages — build or supply
