Built FOLIO // LOUPE, a custom Video.js v10 skin and editorial screening room for Solheath Studio inspired by inspecting 35mm film strips on an analog light table with a physical glass loupe. Instead of a flat dark overlay bar, the player sits inside a tactile cotton-paper folio. Hovering the seek bar brings up an optical glass loupe with spherical refraction, subtle chromatic rim dispersion, frame-accurate readouts, and an audio-loudness tick ruler. Flipping the brass switch shifts the room from warm daylight paper into Darkroom mode with real-time four-edge ambient video glow. Pausing unfolds an angled paper slip for comma and period single-frame stepping and exact frame link sharing, while pressing C opens a seven-strip 35mm contact sheet streaming all seven studio films via Mux HLS and Mux storyboards. CSS container queries refit every control cleanly down to 390px touch screens alongside full keyboard navigation and reduced-motion support.

Inspecting 35mm strips with a glass loupe on a light table, beautiful reference. Cotton paper instead of a dark bar, nice.

Atelier Reference Deck for Video.js v10 — a broadcast reference monitor skin inspired by hardware mastering decks. Paired a machined 16px bezel with frosted obsidian glass docks (88% opacity, 18px blur) and Signal Amber (#F59E0B) tally/playhead telemetry so timecodes, storyboard previews, and captions stay AAA-readable over bright and dark calibration footage. Supports @container mobile layouts, RTL, 50+ locales, and reduced-motion / high-contrast / forced-colors.
