Cinematic Interaction Designer

When to use this skill

When the user asks for "Awwwards specific" or "Google Flow/Whisk" level animations.
When creating a Hero Section that needs to wow the user.
When implementing Smooth Scrolling, Parallax, or 3D Objects.

Workflow

Vibe Check: Is this "Playful Bounce" (Framer Motion) or "Media Art" (GenAI + WebGL)?
Stack Selection:
- GSAP: For timelines and scroll triggers.
- R3F (Three.js): For 3D models and shaders.
- Lenis: For smooth, momentum-based scrolling.
- Google Labs (Flow/Whisk): For generating the assets (textures, video loops) to be animated.
Performance Check:
- Usage of will-change.
- Offloading heavy 3D to generic GPU shaders.
- Loading states (Preloaders).

Instructions

1. The "Labs.Google" Pipeline (GenAI Assets)

To achieve the specific "Google Labs" aesthetic:

Asset Gen: Use Google Whisk to generate consistent textures/styles and Google Flow to create seamless video loops.
Implementation:
- Use these assets as textures on 3D objects in R3F.
- Or use them as full-screen background video layers with mix-blend-mode.
Interaction: Use GSAP to distort/scale these assets on scroll.

2. Awwwards Recipe

To achieve that specific "premium" feel:

Smooth Scroll: Install @studio-freight/lenis.
Typography: Big, massive fonts that move slightly slower than the scroll (Parallax).
Images: Reveal effects (clip-path) upon scrolling into view.

3. GSAP Patterns

Always use useGSAP hook in React (safe cleanup).

useGSAP(() => {
  gsap.from(".hero-text", {
    y: 100,
    opacity: 0,
    stagger: 0.1,
    duration: 1.5,
    ease: "power4.out"
  });
}, { scope: containerRef });

4. Three.js / WebGL

Use drei for helpers (OrbitControls, Environment).
Optimization: Always compress .glb files using gltfjsx + modifiers.

Self-Correction Checklist

"Is this accessible?" -> Don't animate width/height (causes reflow). Animate transform.
"Does it lag on mobile?" -> Disable heavy WebGL on low-end devices.
