Recipe notes
Text-as-mask video — a slow-moving product shot shows through the inside of an ultra-bold giant title; at the end the glyphs scale up 26× overflowing, and the inside footage takes over full-screen
When to use it
An opening or chapter card fusing the brand word/slogan with product footage; the word is the door, the product is inside the door
Intent
Title and product footage fighting over the screen is an old problem — word first then picture is slow, picture with word on top is cramped. This variant makes them one body: the glyphs are the mask, the product only shows through the strokes, and the viewer reads the word and the footage texture at once. At the end the glyphs swell past the frame and the product naturally takes over full-screen — "walking from the brand word into the product" told in a single shot, doubling as a chapter transition (same family as transition-travel Variant C's glyph-cavity travel: there the camera dives into the cavity, here the glyphs swell on their own — there the camera moves, here the door moves).
