Exploded stack
Isometric plates, one per layer of a system, start as one stack, spread apart with a numbered label on a leader line beside each, light up one after another, then close back into one block. For architecture and system diagrams.

3D logo
An extruded wordmark swings in on a spring and settles as a light sweeps across its faces; the tagline rises beneath. Real depth, light and perspective.
3D title
Extruded letters flip up one by one on springs while the camera eases in; the subtitle rises beneath.
3D number
A big extruded number counts up, tilted toward the camera, with a light sweep when it lands and the label beneath.
3D card flip
A card with real thickness tilts in, holds its front, then flips over to its back. Good for before/after, question/answer, myth/fact.
3D word cube
A cube turns a quarter at a time on a spring, each side showing the next word — a kinetic way through a list of 2 to 4 words.
3D bar chart
Bars rise from a floor one after another while the camera orbits; values count up on their tops and the leader takes the accent.
