Badass Motion Design for Front end Developers
summary
Dissects concrete wins and failures and claims motion must be inseparable from layout, not decoration. Shows a crystallization effect that tiles one low‑res image across three panels for an 85‑inch adaptive installation and a dynamic screensaver that pulls live event data and runs reliably. Prototypes in After Effects, uses CSS transforms and skew as a layout tool, then implements with Three.js + effects composer, Angular, D3 and GSAP hitting ~60fps. Reveals the movie forward and reverse trick to fake 3D and when each technique actually works.
