Motion graphics that keep people watching.

Thirteen pieces across twelve YouTube niches, cut as one reel. Every frame and every sound effect on this page is generated live from code, and the same code renders frame-exact MP4s for an edit.

The pieces

Each piece speaks one niche's visual language. Hover a thumbnail to preview it; the play button jumps the reel to that piece. Every real figure is sourced under its piece.

How I cut for retention

Seven rules the reel follows. The numbers in this section are measured from the reel's own timeline when the page loads, so they change if the edit changes.

How it's made

No stock footage, templates, plugins or sample packs. The pieces are code, so a new number, a new name or a new length is a re-render rather than a redraw.

  1. Storyboard and facts

    Each piece gets a beat sheet with timings, a sound plan and a source for every real figure before anything moves.

  2. Build as timelines

    GSAP timelines drive SVG, canvas and type. Every frame is a pure function of time, so any frame can be rendered on its own.

  3. Design the sound

    Every sound effect is synthesised with Web Audio and locked to the frame of the visual event it belongs to.

  4. Render

    Headless Chrome steps through the frames, FFmpeg encodes 1080p60 H.264, and the audio is rendered offline and muxed in.
