Scroll-Driven Video Animation Specialist
Project Overview
I need a front-end developer/interaction expert to create a scroll-driven, frame-by-frame animation from live-action video. My site will be hosted on Webflow, and I want the ability to edit text or pricing myself after this project is completed.
| Reference Video (Frame.io)
| Here’s the direct link to the mockup video: f.io/z4TcpA4V
| This video shows the exact look, feel, and timing I want to achieve with the final scroll interaction.
Scope & Requirements
- Live-Action Video Scrubbing
• Convert an MP4 video or image sequence into a smooth, frame-by-frame scroll interaction
(similar to high-end product launch pages).
• Must work seamlessly in modern browsers and degrade gracefully if needed.
- Custom JavaScript (GSAP or Similar)
• Use GSAP’s ScrollTrigger (or a comparable approach) to control the animation timeline based
on scroll position.
• Ensure performance optimizations (lazy loading, compressed frames, etc.).
- Webflow Integration
• Since I’m on the free Starter plan, we can discuss the best approach:
• You can build directly in my Starter project as a collaborator if that fits your workspace plan,
or,
• You can build in your own paid Webflow workspace and then transfer the project to me
once it’s ready.
• The final deliverable must be in a Webflow project I own or control, so I can update text,
images, or pricing easily in the future.
- Responsive & Cross-Browser Compatibility
• Must look great and function smoothly on desktop and mobile devices.
• Address any potential performance issues on mobile.
- Handover & Documentation
• After completion, provide basic instructions on how I can manage content and make minor
tweaks without breaking the code.
Deliverables
• A Webflow site (or page) with the embedded custom code for frame-by-frame scrolling.
• Optimized assets (video frames or sequence).
• Documentation on maintaining/updating content.
Materials I’ll Provide
• Frame.io Mockup (see link above) showing desired final effect.
• High-quality source video files.
• Webflow account access (Starter plan) or any invites needed for collaboration.
Ideal Candidate
• Proficient in front-end web animation (GSAP, ScrollTrigger, or similar).
• Comfortable with Webflow for custom code embeds.
• Able to optimize video/image assets for fast loading.
• Communicative and detail-oriented.
Timeline
• Approx. 2–3 weeks for development, testing, and revisions.
• Flexible, but I’d like a working prototype within the first 1–2 weeks.
Budget
• Hourly: $25–$60/hour (depending on experience, location, and portfolio).
• Fixed-Price: $1,500–$3,000 total, based on the complexity of the animation and performance requirements.
(I’m open to worldwide freelancers; please include your best rate and relevant examples.)
Required Skills & Expertise
• HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript
• GSAP (ScrollTrigger) or similar advanced animation library
• Webflow (designing & embedding custom code)
• Responsive design
• Video/image optimization
How to Apply
Short Cover Letter: Briefly describe your experience with similar scroll-based or frame-by-frame animations.
Portfolio: Provide links to past projects highlighting this type of interaction.
3.Proposed Approach: Share a quick outline of how you’d build the frame-by-frame scroll effect (image sequence vs. canvas vs. video).
- Budget & Timeline: Indicate if you prefer hourly or a fixed-rate, and give a rough estimate.
Thank You!
I’m excited to create a dynamic, immersive experience for my audience. If you have any unique ideas or best practices for smooth performance, feel free to mention them in your proposal. Let’s do this!
