Runway
A deploy is a landing: the landing page lies on a black airfield like a lit runway, a second wave of light wakes it section by section, and the lens flies off its end into the dark where the laptop touches down and a browser window rises with the site live. One take; darkness is the wipe.
A vast dark hall with a mirror floor running into fog, two rows of warm landing-strip lamps with glowing ground pools stretching into the dark, a dashed centre line, a glowing slit in the floor and dust in the light. One continuous 24 s take at 120 bpm: lamps igniting in a chase, a crane and glide down the strip, a touchdown on the beat at 8.5 s, quick pushes, then a rise to the finale; it plays too fast.

RUNWAY — "Push to prod in 38 seconds." 24 s, 16:9, one continuous take, no VO.
LOGLINE. A deploy is a landing. Shipyard's landing page lies on a black airfield like a lit
runway; the lamps come on, a second wave of light rolls down the page and wakes it section by
section, and the lens keeps flying off the end of it into the dark — where the laptop touches
down, a typed `deploy main --prod` goes out, and a browser window rises beside it with the site
live.
THE WORLD. A black hall with a glossy black mirror floor (reflector-ground) running off into fog.
Shipyard's landing page lies flat down the runway axis as a long portrait sheet, 1.2 × 3.0 m
(free-standing ui3d, stage 300 × 750, ×4). Two rows of small runway lamps flank it every 300 mm
(x ±720, z +2700 … −3000): a tiny warm emissive puck, a faint warm ground-light pool and a soft glow
sprite each. They continue past the page's far end into the dark. A dashed lime centre-line
runs in front of the page and on beyond it to the laptop, with a lime glow pool under it.
The laptop lands at the runway's end (z −3200); the browser window rises upright to its right through
a lime slit in the floor. For the last picture both taxi up to the page's end, side by side, and
the "Shipyard" lockup floats over them. Dust hangs over everything.
PALETTE. black #070807 · carbon #121412 · ink #F4F4F0 · lime #A3E635 (the accent) ·
warm lamp white #FFF7E0 (the runway lamps only). The customer site on the browser has its own
cream / roast palette (Acme Coffee).
COORDINATES. y up, 1 unit = 1 mm. Page centre at the origin, nav far (z −1500), footer near
(z +1500); stage (sx, sy) → world (−600 + 4·sx, 1.5, −1500 + 4·sy). Section bands (world z):
nav −1500…−1405 · hero −1405…−590 (hl-1 z −1183, hl-2 z −1059) · logos −590…−451 · features
−451…+146 · pipeline +146…+670 · stats +670…+961 · quote +961…+1209 · CTA/footer +1209…+1500.
Lamp pair k at z = 2700 − 300k (k 0…19), x ±720. Laptop (scale 1.5) at z −3200. Browser window
(scale 1.2) centre (1080, 210, −3080), yawed −34° to face the runway. End marks (19.0–20.6):
laptop (−340, 0, −1950) yaw +14, browser (380, 210, −1900) yaw +6. Lockup base (−60, 560, −2600),
leaning back 12°; its mirror image falls under the page. A matte patch rides on the floor in
front of the browser from 15.0 so its mirror image (the counter card upside down) never shows.
BEATS (reel clock = scene clock; music 120 BPM, bar = 2 s).
0.0–2.6 HOOK black; the lens 45 mm over the mirror at the runway's near end; the lamps light
in a CHASE from the lens outward (pair k at 0.35 + 0.11k, a flicker each); the
lime centre-line flickers on (1.5–2.5); every page section glows up to 15 % as
the lamps beside it come on.
2.6–7.4 PAGE a second chase: a lime wash pool + a lime area light run down the page
(z +1700 → −1700, 2.6–6.6; section at z comes up at 2.6 + (1700 − z)/850);
the lens cranes up to ~47° and glides down the page ~2.0 m off it, ~1.45 m above
(look point ~590 mm/s) just behind the chase, so each section stays in frame and
readable for ~1.25–1.75 s; the
hero is centred while the headline TYPES ("Push to prod" 6.0–6.5,
"in 38 seconds." 6.55–7.15).
7.4–8.5 INTO DARK the lens dives to runway height and flies off the page's end along the lime
line into the black; the laptop glides out of the dark like a landing aircraft
(descends, touches down ON the beat 8.5, slides 120 mm and settles); a shake.
8.5–13.0 DEVICE A wakes (8.65); the console ASSEMBLES bottom-first (8.75–10.0); the command bar
TYPES "deploy main --prod" (10.1–10.95) inside the
