StyleFrame 
https://vimeo.com/25724900
A styleframe is essentially a single or series of compositions that demonstrate the style, mood, and overall design of a piece of time-based media. As time-based media takes a lot of time, energy, skill, and often a whole team of people to achieve, there is no question that styleframes are indispensable when trying to communicate to funders and fellow crew members what you want to achieve: sort of like a visual elevator pitch
