Recipe notes
Paper-plane messenger transition — after clicking "send", the camera pulls back out of window A, the origami plane flies out along a Bézier arc (pitch following the tangent), the camera escorts it through multi-layer parallax props, arrives and settles at window B's door, and B zooms in to take over the full screen
When to use it
Narrative transitions where a "send/invite/share" action connects two characters' or scenes' perspectives; when an abstract action needs a metaphorical entity as the transition vehicle
Intent
transition-travel dives the camera into an existing element in the frame to change scenes; this card is the reverse — it **releases a semantic messenger** from the action and has the camera fly with it to the next scene. The abstract action "send" is embodied as an origami plane; the spatial relationship between windows A and B is truly measured by the flight path, giving viewers a bodily sense of "where the message went". The linchpin is the 2.5D camera pipeline: all elements hang on one world coordinate system, the camera center goes A→following the plane→B,
