Kinescope

Kinescope is an experimental, film-projector template for launches that want the hero clip to play like a scroll-scrubbed reel. A pinned, sticky stage maps scroll progress onto the video's currentTime, so scrolling cranks the film forward and back one frame at a time, with a live frame counter and a scrubbable timeline overlaying the canvas. The whole thing sits on a warm, near-black 35mm surface with amber and safelight red-orange accents, sprocket-hole filmstrips, scanlines and grain — no photography, every visual is CSS gradients, shapes and inline SVG.

A warm, near-black cutting room — 35mm grain, projector amber and safelight red, where scrolling is the crank that turns the reel frame by frame.

◉ NOW SCRUBBING · FRAME-BY-FRAME LAUNCH FILM

Your launch,played by scrolling.

A cinematic projector-reel for product, film and hardware drops. The hero clip is scrubbed frame by frame as the visitor scrolls — every pixel of scroll cranks the film forward one step.

HOW IT WORKS

Scroll is the crank

Each notch of scroll advances the clip one frame. Here are four cells from the reel, stepping past the gate — no video, just the frame-by-frame feel.

FRAME 001

Black. A single amber filament wakes.

FRAME 080

The gate opens — light floods the cell.

FRAME 160

The subject turns into frame, in focus.

FRAME 240

Title burns in. Cut to safelight red.

THE GATE

Optics, drawn line by line

As the pinned section enters, the reel, aperture and waveform draw themselves in — a projector coming to life. In the live build this is stroke-dashoffset keyed to scroll progress.

  1. 01
    TIMECODE 00:00

    Load the reel

    The page opens on near-black. A hero clip is threaded into a pinned, sticky stage — nothing plays yet, the projector is idle and warm.

  2. 02
    TIMECODE 00:08

    Scroll becomes the crank

    As you scroll, the section stays pinned and the clip is scrubbed frame by frame. Every pixel of scroll advances the film exactly one step.

  3. 03
    TIMECODE 00:16

    Read the gate

    A live frame counter and a scrubbable timeline overlay the canvas, so the visitor always knows exactly where in the cut they are standing.

    Cut to the call

    The reel runs out into a title card and a single invitation — generate your own clip, or reach out. The projector dims back to black.

Design rules

The system, applied to any site

  • Build on a warm near-black canvas (around #0B0A09) and treat the hero as film: a wide 2.40:1 panel layered from dark amber/red-orange radial gradients, a repeating-linear-gradient scanline overlay, a fine grain layer and a heavy inset vignette.
  • Bound every filmstrip top and bottom with a sprocket-hole rail — a row of small dark rounded squares — so panels read as physical film pulled past the gate.
  • Overlay a cinema HUD: a monospace frame counter like "FRAME 148 / 240", a REC dot, an aspect-ratio/fps readout, and a scrubbable timeline with a track, an animated playhead and tick marks beneath the canvas.
  • Set one oversized Space Grotesk display headline (clamp into the 3–7em range) filled with an amber→red-orange clipped gradient, then drop hard to calm Inter body — and keep all timecodes and counters in a system monospace.
  • Use amber (#E9A23B) → red-orange (#E5533C) gradients only as accents (headline fill, buttons, playhead, glows); keep large surfaces matte near-black so the projector light stays warm and luminous.
  • Never use photography or real video in the preview — compose every visual from CSS gradients, sprocket shapes, scanline/grain overlays and inline SVG line art (film reel, aperture, waveform) that can draw itself in.
