Terminus’s 0:45 launch film runs 7 scenes, about 6.5 s each. The product shows up at 0:03 and 2 features are revealed. The call to action lands at 0:41 (90% in). Built as a three-act parody: a 3D gag on cream, a cut-free morph into a flat interface tour, and a stack of serif type cards, all on a warm off-white field with high-contrast serif headlines and a neutral sans UI. Motion is slow and continuous rather than cut-driven, with 3D objects scaling into UI cards, panels sliding and reflowing in place, and text assembling word by word.

    The frame opens on black, then a light gray gradient washes in as a 3D logo of rounded capsule bars in blue, green, yellow and magenta fades up at center, casting a soft shadow on the surface.

    Camera: Static

  2. 02 · Hook · 0:00–0:03

    A 3D low-poly unicorn with a black eye patch charges from the left into a 3D Slack logo, knocking its colorful capsules over so they scatter on the ground, while a serif headline builds word by word at the top.

    On-screen text: “We killed Slack.”

    Techniques: 3D mockup, Kinetic type

    Camera: Push in

  3. 03 · Product intro · 0:03–0:10

    A chat interface shows the #launch channel. A large “We killed Slack.” title card with a low-poly blue pirate horse and colored blobs scales down into Ada's message, then a reply thread slides in from the right and slides out.

    On-screen text: “We killed Slack.”

    Techniques: Morph

    Camera: Pull out

  4. 04 · Feature reveal · 0:10–0:15

    A chat app's #launch view reflows as the floating video-call window expands from a small top-right overlay into a large central 2x2 grid of 3D animal avatars, pushing the message list to a right column. A blue 3D origami logo pops up over the call controls at the end.

  5. 05 · Feature reveal · 0:15–0:34

    A flat chat window with a Claude side panel fills the frame. A prompt is typed and sent, the assistant logs replies, and the #launch channel scrolls with new messages. Two AI toggles flip off, the panel turns to No access, then the camera zooms into the chat.

    Techniques: UI zoom

    Camera: Pan

    The chat UI fades to a cream field where a low-poly blue horse logo sits beside the serif line “100% Free.”; “100% Open-Source.” and “100% Customizable.” then fade in below one by one, the logo drifting down to stay centered, before the block fades out.

    On-screen text: “100% Free.”, “100% Open-Source.”, “100% Customizable.”

  7. 07 · CTA · 0:41–0:45

    On a cream background, a 3D render of three hugging rounded figures in blue, cream and green sits top center. The black serif title 'Terminus Teams' fades in below it, then a row of 'Available on', a blue pill button and a blue underlined URL fades in. Locked-off frame.

    On-screen text: “Terminus Teams”, “Available on”, “terminus.build/teams”
