A passage of source text on a near-black ground, set large and airy, with the phrases that matter selected one at a time. Each selection sweeps left to right on an ease-in-out and wraps across line breaks the way a real text selection does, tinting the words it covers and leaving a translucent accent wash behind them. Between phrases the shot holds for the best part of two seconds so the line can actually be read, and the whole document drifts upward the entire time at a third of a pixel per frame — far too slow to notice, and the only reason a shot with six seconds of hold does not read as a freeze frame.
