The recordings, in one place: each board on its own screen, the admin panel in a browser, and a section at the end saying what kind of capture every badge on the site means. Nothing here is a mock-up.
One recording per board
Six of the nine boards, each filmed on its own screen running the same demonstration vault. The badge on every figure says how its frames were taken.

A walk through the admin panel
In development
What the panel looks like while it is used: the dashboard, a credential being edited, the security page, and the same panel on a phone. What it is and what it refuses are on the front page.

The clip and the three captures above are the panel's own page — the bytes the firmware serves — opened in a browser against a demo vault served from this computer instead of from a board. What they show is the page itself over demonstration data, not a session on a board.
How these recordings were made
Every screen on this site came out of the thing it shows. None of it is a mock-up, a reconstruction or an animation of an idea, and each figure carries a badge saying which of these it is.
Live from the device
The board sent every frame over Wi-Fi as it drew it, while a script worked its buttons, keys or touch screen. The clip runs at the speed the device runs at, key derivation and screen redraws included.
Device captures
The board was asked for its own screen at each step, and the frames were put together in the order and at the times a live run shows them. Real screens of a real run; what is authored is how long a settled screen is held.
Device screen
One frame, straight off the device's own screen, shown at its own pixels rather than smoothed.
Panel in a browser
The admin panel's own page — the bytes the firmware serves — opened in a browser against a demonstration vault served from this computer instead of from a board. It is the page, not a session on a board.
Drawing with device screens
Each board drawn to scale from its own measured case, carrying a capture of its own screen.
Every vault in these recordings is a demonstration vault: the entries, the accounts and the passwords were made up for the camera, on development builds, and no secret of anybody's appears in them.
Each published image and clip has a row in the repository recording its hash and the file it was made from, and the build refuses a figure whose row does not say how it was made.
