GTA VI
Scroll-Driven Cinematic Website
A flip-through companion to this page — shot and laid out like a game magazine.
The goal wasn't to clone Rockstar's site pixel-for-pixel. It was to understand how motion, pacing, video, and scroll behavior combine into a cinematic browsing experience — and rebuild that feeling with frontend tools alone.
The result is a single-page, video-heavy site where scroll position — not clicks — drives the story forward.
Pinned, scrubbed GSAP sequences instead of one-off animations.
HTML5 video playback tied to scroll position, not autoplay.
Timing and pinning re-balanced for tablet and mobile.
Optimized media and fonts for a smooth Netlify build.
Five layers, each with one job — kept separate so animation logic never leaked into presentation.
Shipped a cinematic, scroll-driven site that stays responsive across devices — and a working case study in treating motion as narrative pacing, not decoration.
If you enjoyed this build, here are a few others.
