embed an optin on presentation page

Hi,

I love the parabola theme… and i am putting together a new site.. but i would like to have the optin on the presentation page/ landing page… how do i set up the slider, so that I can have the optin form embedded there? I am guessing there should be some way to make it a static, non-moving image… but embedding an optin form would really be great:)
