My Latest Project:
Using ScrollMagic and Lottie, I seamlessly integrated multiple After Effects animations into a fully responsive website. Thanks to my setup, the JSON animations run smoothly on any screen size, enhancing the website's storytelling with a sleek scroll effect.
Using ScrollMagic and Lottie, I seamlessly integrated multiple After Effects animations into a fully responsive website. Thanks to my setup, the JSON animations run smoothly on any screen size, enhancing the website's storytelling with a sleek scroll effect.
The Technology Behind It:
ScrollMagic controls pinning and playback of content based on scroll position, allowing me to pin sections and animate them in and out.
Lottie renders my JSON animations (exported from After Effects) as SVG, making them highly performant and scalable.
Responsiveness is achieved with media queries, dynamic calculations (e.g., window.innerHeight), and smart resize handling.
JavaScript logic handles dynamic offsets, duration, scene calculations, and event listeners (scroll, resize, click events).
HTML and CSS provide a well-thought-out layout, including a hamburger menu and a sticky navbar that hides or shows automatically while scrolling.
What I Learned:
How to bring After Effects expertise into web development using JSON animations.
Performance optimization techniques for smooth transitions, even with high-resolution animations.
The importance of clean code architecture and a clear separation of logic (JS), structure (HTML), and design (CSS).
