About 1 week into this project, we decided to delete everything and start afresh. Why? We saw that we could do something better.
We could tell a better story rather than just move things around on screen. We could make you laugh. Or cry. We could make you picture using the software without ever touching it.
We discovered we were more powerful, so we deleted everything to start from the very beginning... the script.
I anticipate what the final piece will look like!
P.S. This version is the one we're deleting 🥹 😭
"The Light Stays" is a song for someone who's gone but never quite leaves, about learning to love the light a person leaves behind.
The video follows Noah, a man who lost the woman he loved to the sea, as his longing pulls him back to where he last saw her, and toward the world she now lives in.
Made in invideo with Agent Two (Janet). Everything was built and finished in invideo Editor: transitions, slow motion, speed ramps, SFX, subtitles, and above all the Hail Mary effect, which marks every moment Leah belongs to another world.
An immersive 3D brand experience for the modern roadside stop.
The vision:
Make the stop the best part of the journey. ROADHUB reimagines a 24/7 convenience store as a cinematic story, where every scroll moves the visitor further down the road.
The experience:
A story that unfolds as you scroll: bold typography, tilted colour panels and floating products set the mood before the doors even open.
A golden-hour arrival: the camera glides toward a glowing storefront as day melts into dusk.
A living, breathing store: stocked shelves, glowing fridges, a heated “Hot & Ready” cabinet, a premium coffee bar and a hanging neon ring sign. The store feels fresh, full and alive.
Shopping, the cinematic way: the camera walks up to each counter as products lift off the shelf and drop gently into your basket.
A drive into the night: the sun sets, the stars come out, headlights streak past, and the ROADHUB sign glows on long after you’ve left.
Real-world features: a premium digital menu with discounted pricing, an in-page shop with an add-to-cart haul, a custom navigation menu and an atmospheric soundtrack.
Craft and technology:
Built with Astro, Three.js, GSAP and Lenis, with custom-coded 3D environments, scroll-choreographed animation, Web Audio sound design, and performance tuning for smooth playback on desktop and mobile. Deployed on Vercel.
