Maya, Tom and the seven boxes | product explainer video made with ngram

About the video

This product explainer video was made with ngram to explain a workout-planning software redesign through two characters, maya, a playbook coach, and tom, the app user following her plans. the video opens on maya's confusion when her tool offers seven different collection types for organizing workouts that all open to reveal the same plain list, differing only in label and order. it walks through the workarounds this forces, like typing schedule details into workout names and re-copying favorites once a capped list pushes them into an archive tom can't reopen. the video then introduces the fix, a single flexible collection that stays open for tom, where timetables and cycles get added only when needed, toggles handle simple repeating habits, and one workout can belong to multiple collections without duplication. it closes by showing old plans migrating over automatically, with maya confirming unclear cases so tom's experience is never interrupted. built with html/css motion graphics across five scenes, the confusion, same list inside, the workarounds, a fresh start, and getting there, the video gives a clear before-and-after case for simplifying a rigid data model into one unified, flexible structure.
