Who wants to come to a picnic with an outdoor movie? I'll bring the video player 🧺🎬
Picnic Cinema is my new Video.js skin: a 3D garden cinema where the controls hang as tags from festoon bulbs. The lights glow when you pause and dim when the film starts.
Too comfy to reach the bulbs? Grab the remote on the picnic table.
You can still use the keyboard like a normal player: Space to play, arrows to seek and change the volume, F for fullscreen.
this is such a fun concept!
I Designed a custom skin for the Video.js v10 player.
In Video.js v10, a skin is the player’s interface: the UI components plus the styles that present them. Video.js is open source and community-driven, and the player can end up on almost any website, so every skin makes a choice: how much personality it has, how well it fits into someone else’s design, and how far it pushes the controls. This was all incorporated into the design from scratch. The built-in v10 skins show this range. Creativity and mastery are incorporated to produce something nice and pleasant.

Meniscus is a liquid glass skin for Video.js v10. A meniscus is the curved surface of a liquid, and the whole player is designed as one.
The ripple. When you press play, one soft ripple runs through the video picture itself.
The glass. The controls are frosted glass tiles. They pick up colour from the film, so the player changes with every scene.
The drops. Back 10 s, Play and Forward 10 s are three glass drops joined by liquid. The playhead is a drop too, and it squashes as you drag it.
The sound. Each control makes a soft glass sound, created in the browser. It follows the player’s volume, goes quiet on mute, and can be turned off in Settings.
For everyone. Every button works with the keyboard and shows a clear focus ring. On a phone, the controls move into two rows and the menus use the whole screen. If your device asks for reduced motion or reduced transparency, the ripple stops and the glass becomes solid.
The film streams from Mux in every size from 360p to 4K. The demo clip and its music are only there to show the player. They are not part of the skin and are not covered by its licence.
