Not a video playing in the background. The page holds still and the footage advances frame by frame under your thumb — you control it. It is the technique behind Apple's product pages, built here without a single line of framework code.
A single-provider med spa in Coral Gables. The camera opens on the bay, drops through the palms, and walks you in past reception — the whole arrival, before a word of copy.
Open the site →A twenty-eight cover room on a cliff. One unbroken shot from four hundred feet up, through the arches, and back out over the water at sundown.
Open the site →Twelve seconds, no cuts. Cuts are what break the illusion — scroll back up through an edit and it reads as a glitch rather than a film.
The clip becomes 145 still images, served as WebP. Around 7 MB for the whole sequence — lighter than most image-heavy homepages, and cached for a month after the first visit.
A canvas paints whichever frame matches your scroll position, and the copy is pinned to the moment in the footage it belongs to. No video player, no buffering, no autoplay fight with iOS.
