Showcase reel

A fast ~30-second reel where every item in a collection gets its own beat — the one we shipped the typography wave with

This is the video we shipped eighteen new text animations with. The trick that carries it: nothing is described — every item gets two seconds of stage and demonstrates itself. If you have a collection — templates, integrations, themes, effects — this recipe turns the list into a reel.

The storyboard

Block width follows the estimated length of each beat

  1. The hookOne line on why this collection matters.
  2. The numberThe count lands big. In ours, "18 new text animations".
  3. The reelThe heart of the video: one item per beat, a small counter ticking in a corner while items change, each item named with its own motion. If your items are visual, each one demonstrates itself.
  4. The mechanismOne line on the property every item shares.
  5. The valueTwo or three claims stack up.
  6. The closeA terminal types your command or link.
  7. The lockupYour logo and a closing line.

I'm making a showcase reel with remocn (remocn.dev).

Build a ~30-second, 1920×1080, 30fps reel for <N> new <THINGS> in this
Remotion project, using remocn components — install anything you need with
`npx shadcn add @remocn/<name>`:

1. Hook — an animated headline: "<HOOK LINE>".
2. The number — the count lands big: "<N> new <THINGS>".
3. The reel — one beat per item, roughly two seconds each, with a small
   "NN / <N>" counter holding perfectly still in a corner while the items
   change: <ITEM LIST>.
   Vary the motion between items — use remocn's text animations — and where
   an item can demonstrate itself, let it.
4. Mechanism — one calm line: "<MECHANISM LINE>".
5. Value — claims stacking line by line (line-by-line-slide): <CLAIMS>.
6. Close — a terminal line that types itself: `<COMMAND OR LINK>`.
7. Lockup — my logo (<LOGO FILE, or: use the product name as a wordmark>)
   with a closing line: "<CLOSING LINE>".

Style: warm dark background (#141318), off-white text, one accent color
<ACCENT COLOR>, Manrope. One quiet shader-simplex-noise field behind the whole
video. Keep the reel snappy — no long holds, effect after effect. Use my copy
exactly as written.

Directing the result

  • The reel drags in the middle — tighten items six through ten.
  • The counter is too prominent — smaller and dimmer.
  • Item four moves like item three — give it a different motion.
  • Hold the number beat a little longer.
