Video Intro / Outro Bumper

6-Frame Storyboard / Dot-Matrix Globe Assembly

Standard 4-second intro bumper. The dot-matrix globe assembles from scattered particles, resolves into the GFS monogram, then the tagline fades in before content begins. Duration tokens: 600ms per frame transition, 200ms easing overlap.

■ Animation timing: Total bumper duration is 4.0 seconds. Use cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) for all ease-out transitions. Particle assembly uses staggered delays (50ms intervals). Globe rotation runs at 25s/revolution for ambient motion. Outro is the reverse sequence: content fades, logo holds 1s, particles scatter, black.
