I created Starling as an interactive character with three connected animation states: Idle, Selected, and Success. Its expression, wing movement, and star effects respond to interaction, giving the character a personality beyond a looping video.
The project includes an editable Rive file, a runtime asset, and a browser preview. I tested the transitions with mouse, keyboard, and touch input. The video shows the animation; the interactive preview lets viewers try it for themselves.
The connected states give Starling personality beyond a simple loop.

⚽ ONE KICK. THREE BRANDS. ONE ANIMATION.
What if one animation could tell three completely different brand stories — without rebuilding it from scratch?
Introducing ONE KICK, my third entry for the SVGator Animation Template Challenge on Contra. 🚀
The idea was simple: Build once. Design to change.
I created a football-inspired animated template that transforms across three distinct brand identities while keeping the same core motion, timing, and animation structure.
🟠 FIZZA — Bright, playful, and full of personality.
🟢 STRYKA — Bold, energetic, and performance-driven.
🔵 MATCHDAY+ — Dynamic, modern, and built for matchday excitement.
What's behind the concept?
One reusable animation system featuring seven scenes, adaptable branding, customizable text, colors, logos, and visual assets — designed to make brand personalization faster and easier.
From the opening kick to the final branded call-to-action, the goal was to show that great motion design doesn't have to be created from zero every time.
Where it shines: Sports campaigns, promotional ads, social media content, product launches, and animated brand storytelling. The template is designed for creators who want polished motion while keeping the freedom to make it their own.
The challenge I set myself: Could one animation feel like it was custom-made for three completely different brands?
The showcase is my answer.
3 BRANDS. 1 TEMPLATE. 0 REDRAWS.
Built with SVGator. Designed for reuse. Made to work again.
Would love to hear which identity you think works best! 👀

Solid layout, Miguel! The contrast between the clean typography and those interactive bento-style cards is crisp. Building this layout with smooth CSS grid transitions or GSAP pin scrolling would make the UX feel incredibly interactive.
