No After Effects. No manual keyframes.
Just pure React, frame-level spring math, and code.
Built this SaaS product reel completely with Remotion at 60fps. Programmatic motion design makes it effortless to keep animations 100% true to real product UI while allowing programmatic variant generation.
💯 What you receive as a deliverable:
🎬 Production Video: 4K/60fps .mp4 or .webm ready for social, ads, and landing pages
🪟 Transparent Overlays: Alpha-channel .mov (ProRes 4444) to drop over your existing product footage
🔁 Looping Assets: Optimized .gif files for GitHub readmes and email campaigns
💻 Web Native: Interactive React @remotion/player components or automated server-side render scripts
Stack:
• React
• Remotion (useCurrentFrame, spring, interpolate)
• Headless Chromium render pipeline
Taking on 2 new projects this month for SaaS and dev-tool teams looking for high-end product animations.
DMs are open—let’s build.
100% underrated! A typical reel renders in under a minute on a normal setup, but the real time-saver is iteration. Changing colors, text, or timing takes 5 seconds in code without touching heavy project files.
Appreciate the love! Have you tried code-driven video yet?
wonderful. That props workflow is an absolute game-changer. Drop a link to that brand film if it's public.
would love to check it out.

DEAD STILL is a Victorian spirit-photography game in three sittings. Ghosts can’t be seen. Only photographed.
You are J. Ashworth, “Photographer of the Departed”. Frame your clients, turn the brass focus ring, and hold a long exposure while the plate drinks the light. Then rock the plate in a red-lit darkroom and watch who was really standing beside them:
- The widow: her husband, in his empty armchair. The first sitting teaches you, step by step.
- The twins: a dead girl who will not keep still. Frost on the glass betrays her, and only a magnesium flash can freeze her.
- Mr. Hale: an investigator who asks for a portrait “with whoever is here”. Then the print looks back at you.
Rive features used:
1) Rive CLI: the whole project is RML, Luau and WGSL, checked with --verify, inspect, --screenshot and --test (20 unit tests that guard the rules), and shipped with --publish=web.
2) GPU Canvas: the shaders are the mechanics:
- 2D Rive artboards lit inside a 3D studio, with shadows and depth of field
- long exposure as real accumulation into a float plate: anything that moves smears
- a development shader you agitate by hand, with the dead coming up last
- frost on the ground glass where a spirit stands, and candle flames that bend toward the cold
- a magnesium flash, then smoke
- for the twist, a "living print": the plate re-exposed every frame, so a face in the photograph can open its eyes
3) Scripting (Luau): the sittings, the scoring and the story; it scrubs Ashworth's Wake timeline to open his eyes.
4) Data Binding: one view model drives the whole HUD.
5) State machines on every artboard; the HUD's hints run on one.
6) Skinned image meshes with bones for every character, each with an idle timeline.
7) Layout, vector feathering, trim paths, dash paths and Rive audio (gapless loops for the clock, the candles and the darkroom).
The video shows the game itself (every gameplay frame rendered by the game), the CLI run that shipped it, its RML, Luau and WGSL, the GPU Canvas passes, the file opened in the Rive Editor, and the same signed .riv running in a local build of my own portfolio site.
Amazing....
