David decided: Built kissmewithcompute launch video in Remotion with kinetic transitions

David commissioned a Remotion launch video for kissmewithcompute.com, specifying kinetic transitions, a cultural-resonance opening, and exact animation behaviour for the San Francisco reveal.


David outlined the video concept:

what if it opens on something like "How do people around the world show their support to one another? Well, in Paris, one might say 'Bravo!'. In Lagos, one might say..." But in San Francisco, people send compute.

He then pushed back on the agent's proposed fade-in transitions:

i dont want any boring fade ins and outs. those transitions are boring. ours need to be kinetic and mobile. they need to move.

On a specific detail for the San Francisco reveal:

on the in san francisco part, it should then type an ellipses one by one eg dot then dot then dot then the text should change (without a transition) to "we send compute."

And on the opening question copy:

"How do people show they're rooting for you?"

David also caught a layout bug mid-build where the ellipsis typing was shifting the "In San Francisco" text to the left to re-center, and demanded the text stay fixed-position while dots appeared.
