For our studio website, we wanted to test out Rive to see what we could come up with.

The result, an interactive magician inspired by Houdini, that follows your actions on our website and gets excited when the mouse gets closer and closer to the Showreel button.

On clicking the button, the showreel appears.

We created an online experience that lit up people's faces and sparked sharing. After 900+ LinkedIn reactions and more website visits than ever, we think this resonated because:

It's us, we're collage animation experts - and different from any other homepage header.

It's funny (or scary) and entertaining.

The result

More visitors in 1 week than in the last 6 months.

Website Sessions of up to 40 mins or more.

For our own studio website, we wanted a fun header - no headlines, just a quirky magician getting excited when your mouse approaches the "Showreel" button.
