Recipe notes
A desktop app icon is tapped by a finger, springs to scale up from its own center to fill the screen, and becomes the app's main screen (the home screen shrinks and dims in sync, app content reveals in a stagger); once settled, the whole device breathes
When to use it
App promo intro / transition into the app itself; emphasizes the "desktop icon → app UI" reveal as one continuous moment
Intent
Shoot "opening the app" as a single shot: the viewer first sees the phone home screen (widgets + icon grid), a finger taps an icon, and the icon scales up from its own center to fill the screen and becomes the app's main screen. The core is "one element transforming" — not a screen cut, but the icon body itself being re-formed into the UI, so "opened from where, opened into what" is instantly clear. The expansion uses a spring for a real launch feel, and the app content fades in with a stagger right as the icon is about to fill the screen, stitching into a continuous "icon → UI" whole.
