Univer product film: One formula, typed in a single take.

Univer is an open-source office suite that runs in the browser, built around its spreadsheet. A sheet gets interesting once the numbers start working, so the film skips the setup and lets the data arrive by itself. The moment it is built around is a single formula, typed in one go, that fills in the total.

f.0420 / the idea

The idea.

The sheet is the real app, built from Univer's own packages and run locally with fictional profit and loss figures.

Sound

  • Every character of the formula has its own key click, which makes the single take the beat you notice.
  • The chart gets a lift and a tick per bar. The one heavy hit is saved for the name.
  • Music is a licensed house track, kept low under the voiceover.

Formats

16:9 and 9:16 from one project. In the vertical cut the headlines break over more lines and the sheet and chart are re-centred for the narrow frame.

f.0840 / the film

The film.

0:00 to 0:03
An empty sheet fills. Six months of revenue and expenses drop in row by row.
0:03 to 0:08
One suite. Profit and margin columns fill in. Chips for Sheets, Docs and Slides rise over the window, with an "Apache-2.0, open source" tag beside them.
0:08 to 0:11
The formula. The camera zooms into the Total row. =SUM(B2:B7) is typed character by character, Enter is pressed and $326,200 lands in the cell with a flash.
0:11 to 0:13
The chart. A "Profit by month" bar chart lifts out of the selected column and its six bars rise one after another.
0:13 to 0:15
Two cursors. Two teammate cursors fly in and settle on different cells, each with a coloured box, and a "self-hosted, your data" tag drops in.
0:15 to 0:21
The end title. "Univer" and the line "Work, unboxed." on white, then the OVERSHOOT credit.
