5 notes on animation — newest first.
From Gemastik animation 4th place to shipping enterprise software
Two years at the national animation level, then a hard pivot into C# / ASP.NET MVC for 1,500 employees. What animation taught me about engineering that engineering school did not.
SplitText + Kinetic Typography
Split text into characters, words, or lines and animate each piece independently. The technique behind every scroll-reveal and cinematic title on award-winning sites.
ScrollSmoother + Pinned Horizontal Scroll
GSAP's scroll toolkit driving a pinned horizontal section. Full scroll-speed control, momentum, and zero Lenis conflicts — because ScrollSmoother IS the scroller for that section.
Flip Plugin — Layout Morphing
Animate seamlessly between any two DOM layouts with GSAP Flip. Grid to list, card expand, filter shuffle — the result looks impossible and the code is five lines.
GSAP Scroll + 3D Image Sequence
Build the Apple-style scroll-driven image sequence. A 3D-rendered animation plays frame-by-frame as you scroll — pure canvas + GSAP ScrollTrigger, no video, no autoplay quirks.
