Four years ago, whenever I needed interface animation for my portfolio, I usually built it directly in a Figma prototype, screen-recorded it, and called it done 😄
I finally had some time to properly try Figma Motion, and here’s the result. It was surprisingly easy to get into. It’s also pretty fun that you can just prompt the motion instead of fighting with keyframes for hours. I’m still exploring it, so roast the animation gently, feedback is very welcome.
Curious what everyone else is using for interface and product animations?
And do you mostly create them for portfolios/content, or do you actually use motion work with clients and real product teams as well?
Nice first experiment!

A website hero and motion identity concept for Cycle.
The experience takes the viewer through seven historical eras in one continuous forward journey, while the logo, camera path and core composition remain consistent.
The concept explores how a static identity can become a living digital experience through motion, environment and interaction.
Workflow included Spline, Claude via MCP, Midjourney and SeaDance.
Available for brand identity, motion and digital design projects.

This summer I worked an interactive, animated webpage to showcase all the local producers who supply Auberge de crussol, unique French restaurant, in Saint-Péray, France.
The page was built entirely in @Rive, using the supplied vector illustrations to produce a series of animations and interactive moments that are triggered by the user's touch or cursor states.
Bespoke sound design was woven throughout the experience, with sound and movement tightly synchronised to add depth to the animation.

Beautiful work in Rive. Was the click and drag navigation an intentional choice over regular scrolling?
