Ten donuts. Ten flavors. One box. 🍩
For the #SVGator Challenge I made an animated product ad for DOUGHLY, a fictional donut brand. Every donut is built from clean vector layers (dough, icing, toppings, hole and highlight), so each one is fully editable and animatable.
How the 20s story plays out:
→ The box slides in and ten flavors drop in one by one with a little bounce
→ The camera pushes into a close-up of each donut, in turn
→ During every close-up, that donut wobbles and floats while the others fade away, so nothing distracts from it
→ A caption names each flavor
→ The camera pulls back to the full box: "Pick your favorite."
What I focused on:
Camera moves: zoom, pan and ease between ten close-ups
Spotlight timing: neighbors fade out and back in sync with the camera
Motion that feels playful: bounce-in, wobble, gentle float
Format: 4:5 (1080×1350) · 20s
Brand and product are fictional.

Feedback is welcome, especially on the camera timing. đź’ś

Building every donut from separate dough, icing and topping layers is such a smart call. A new flavor becomes a recolor, not a redraw. On the camera timing: the spotlight fade on the neighbors really keeps the focus. Ten close-ups in 20s is a quick pace though. Did you try a...

Thanks, Faiz. Even half a second extra on the first and last donut would let "Pick your favorite" land with room to breathe. Good luck with the entry!

If you're still figuring out what to build for the challenge, look at this one đź’ś
One line of copy does all the work. Retype the emergency, drop a new product behind the glass and it's a whole new ad. That's a template people will actually use.
Love it!
BREAK GLASS — an "In case of ___" ad template. Every product is somebody's emergency.
Retype the emergency (IN CASE OF MONDAY, HEARTBREAK, DEADLINE), drop a product PNG and a logo behind the glass, pick three colours and ship an 8-second 4:5 loop. Best for problem-to-solution...
Open Shop: a 3D storefront ad that opens itself.🏪
I read through SVGator's template gallery and found plenty of cards, carousels and logo reveals, but nothing a local shop, café or online store could use to say "we're open" or "new drop". So I built it.
In 10 seconds an empty lot gets a location pin, a shop in your brand colour rises from the ground, the awning unrolls, your logo sign goes up, the lights come on, your products appear in the window, and your headline lands with fireworks and a delivery van pulling up.
To make it yours you change 1 colour, 3 images and 6 lines of text. Every label is live text and every layer is named (logo, headline, product-image-1 and so on). The video shows it as a café, then as a record shop: same animation, no keyframes touched.
Built with the SVGator MCP from Claude. All artwork is original.
Love that you went through the gallery first and built for what was missing 💜 Small shops and cafés really are underserved. Such a cool concept. Nice to see you here too Mayank, good luck!
