Oversized Cursor — the eye-carrier

A deliberately oversized macOS-style pointer that travels the frame as a visible protagonist: it enters from off-screen, walks the viewer's eye to the next point of interest, clicks to cause the next thing that happens, and leaves. Production-proven across multiple launch films.

Why it exists. Big cursor movement is one of the cheapest high-yield motion sources in a launch video: one element, transform-only tweens, and it (1) brings the eye across the screen on scenes that would otherwise read as dead, (2) gives causal ignition to morphs/transitions ("the click did that"), and (3) segments the eye out of a stale state when kicking off a new scene or a complex animation sequence. Bigger is better — an actual-size cursor disappears at video scale.
