Three checks before a reel ships.
Reading time / every text holds at least 0.25 s per word + 0.5 s, measured frame by frame (78/78 pass).
Safe zones / every vertical text clear of the Reels interface.
Loudness / the same level on every master (≈ −15 LUFS).
Clients never see these checks. They feel them.

Full case study on my profile.
The reading-time check is the one that stood out to me — holding every text at least 0.25 seconds per word plus 0.5, measured frame by frame, is exactly the kind of invisible detail that keeps a reel from feeling rushed. Pairing that with clear safe zones and consistent −15 LUFS...
A 22-second spec launch reel for Gemini, made to show a clean, premium SaaS ad style for vertical video.
The story moves from a simple prompt ("a whale swimming...") into what the product can do: make videos, write, and work across apps. It ends on the brand.
What I did:
• Story and shot list
• UI animation (typing, clicks, cards, transitions)
• Motion design, built frame by frame in code for smooth, exact motion
• Music sync, sound design and final mix at -14 LUFS for social
Format: 1080×1920, 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
Note: this is a personal spec project to show the style. It was not made for or by Google.
The prompt-to-product progression keeps this launch reel sharp.
Stunning
