SVGator × Contra Challenge
INVESTIGATION BOARD — A Story Driven Promotional Template
I wanted to showcase a digital platform through a visual metaphor people instantly recognize: a detective’s investigation board.
Fast camera movements connect pinned images and visual clues, while each stop reveals its own image and supporting text, turning a platform’s features into an unfolding story.
The concept is designed for reuse: replace the images, update the copy, and adapt the same animation to promote another platform, product, or service.
My goal was to combine cinematic storytelling with practical customization—creating a template that is not just visually engaging, but useful to other creators.

I am often inspired by some of the graffiti on the shop shutters here in Barcelona. Sometimes the shutter is the billboard. So for the @SVGator challenge I turned it into an animation template any shop can make its own!
Persiana rolls up on mural art, brings in the brand, runs three products and ends on the ask. Every layer has a real name, so turning a plant shop into a record store means retyping the text and swapping the logo and three photos.
The beauty of this is that I never drew a frame by hand. Claude Code wrote all six shops straight into SVGator through its MCP, keyframes included, and the edits in the video run on the live export.
I'm in LOVE with the results. What do you think?

Hey Contra and SVGator team, thank you so much for this challenge. 🙏 It was a lot of fun to work on.
I'm Amine, a motion designer, and this is my entry: "The Milestone Deck". It's a counter and card-line template for brands and creators who want to celebrate a win, like hitting a follower, subscriber or sales number, and share it in a way that looks good.
I followed the brief and checked the gallery to make what's missing. When I scrolled through it, I saw lots of logo reveals, icon hovers and product-promo cards, but nothing for the moment you hit a milestone and want to share it. So I made that. I wanted something different from the usual product previews, and I think a lot of brands and creators will actually use it.
What's inside:
Real, editable text for the brand name, the caption and the counter
Clearly named layers, with notes in the names about what to change
Every card image in its own element, so swapping one is easy
A counter that counts up, and a line of cards that moves like a worm
Proof it can be changed: the video shows the same template with two sets of content, a gray version and a purple one, with a different number and color and the same animation. The walkthrough shows how to rebrand it step by step.
About the tools: as a motion designer, I really like how effective SVGator is. The idea and the designs are mine. I used the SVGator MCP with Claude only to replicate animations, the repetitive keyframe work that would have taken me ages by hand, and it saved me a lot of time there.
Thanks again, SVGator and Contra. 😍
Such a great work!

This template combines precise masking,
smooth camera movements, and small animated
icon details which are easily replaceable.
Good work...
