The brief
A self-initiated motion study. The animation direction is openly modelled on Zentry, an Awwwards-recognised site — we rebuilt that class of scroll choreography from scratch to see how far it could be pushed while staying fast.
The challenge
Award-level motion usually comes with a load penalty. Clip-path reveals, sticky video transitions, and kinetic type all fight the main thread, and the moment the frame rate drops the effect reads as broken rather than premium.
The approach
GSAP scroll timelines drive every section, with transforms and clip-paths doing the work so the compositor handles the animation. Sequences are pinned rather than duplicated, and display type is split once at mount instead of on every frame.
What we built
- GSAP scroll-timeline choreography
- Clip-path section reveals
- Sticky video transitions
- Kinetic display typography
What it demonstrates
- Complex scroll choreography that holds its frame rate
- Motion as the primary storytelling device, not decoration
- Working inside an established art direction and matching its bar
