Kit demo · TEMPORARY hermeus test Lottie

Animated distorted headline (Lottie)

This headline is rendered from an uploaded Lottie animation (hermeus-style). The .json is a TEMPORARY borrow of hermeus's public asset to demo the mechanism — swap in our own before real use.

Depth

Parallax in motion

Scroll and the background drifts against the page — a subtle sense of depth, distinct from the pinned fixed-background band above.

Universal crop

Focal point · smart crop

This full-bleed image is auto-framed to a focal point set once in the Assets library (crop is enabled on every asset). Change the focal point and the framing updates everywhere the image is used — no per-block work.

Fixed background band (floating image)

K9 Thunder leads the global pack

As you scroll, the image stays pinned while this text floats over it — the effect from the live Land Systems page. Managed with: Dark scrim (for legible white text) + a Tall / Full-screen height (the taller the band, the longer the image stays pinned).

Card — image fill

Image-fill overlay cards

The whole card is filled by its image, with the heading (head) and subhead overlaid on a gradient scrim.

1.13.0 QA · Parallax

Parallax — flexible stacked layers

Three layers with independent size, position, opacity and scroll speed. Front-most drifts fastest.

1.13.0 QA · Crop lock-ratio

Crop lock-ratio (test in the admin)

The crop lock-ratio is an ADMIN tool, not a page element. To check it: edit this image in the admin and open the crop drawer. The aspect ratio is LOCKED by default (change one dimension and the other scales proportionally); click "Unlock ratio" to crop X and Y independently. Whatever you crop renders here.

We hit challenging targets.

Welcome to the unfair fight.
