Mouse-Responsive Gradient and Logo Demo

An 8.8-second silent shader showcase that switches from a full-screen liquid field to a centered gradient mark and back.

Field notes / why it works

The first frame shows the luminous full-screen result, and changing liquid contours sustain the first 3.63 seconds without a cut. At 3.63 seconds, a hard cut to a small blue-gradient mark on black makes a second application distinct through scale and negative space; the 0.78-second return to the field provides a visual bookend. The whole 8.8-second demonstration works silently, with the product explanation carried by the post copy.

Plate 01 / The format in one breath

An interaction demo that starts inside the result: a pointer disturbs a full-frame liquid colour field, the same gradient treatment appears within a compact logo, and the full-frame field returns. The post supplies the feature explanation; the video proves it visually without narration, captions, or a soundtrack.

Why it works

  • The effect occupies the entire 1280 × 720 opening frame at 0:00, so viewers see the outcome before any setup.
  • Continuous contour deformation through 0:00–0:03.63 makes a long first shot feel active despite zero cuts in the first three seconds.
  • The hard cut at 0:03.63 switches from an edge-to-edge blue field to a small blue mark on black, clarifying the second use case through a strong scale change.
