Motion Reel · Vol. 2
The same 15 styles aimed at 13 new niches with nothing but JSON: tennis, Napoleon's 1812, Krakatoa, a Greek scroll, a gaming phone.
15 styles
One animation, a whole family of niches.
Every style takes its words, numbers and colours from a JSON file. The same growth curve does compound interest or crypto; the same map does Hannibal or Napoleon.
Looking for your niche? Check the niche map (139 niches).
