The Lab — experiments and technique studies by Kendell's Studio

Lab · Experiments

The workshop.

Half-built things, animation studies, and demos of what's possible. Each piece is a small bet on a technique I want to push further.

Experiment 01 · Remotion video

A studio showreel written in React.

The video on the right is a Remotion composition — a React component, rendered frame-by-frame by code. The same approach powers client launch teasers, animated ads, and product demos. No After Effects required.

The source is on the left. Live preview to the right. Both render the same thing.

// remotion/showreel.tsx (excerpt)
import { AbsoluteFill, Sequence, interpolate, spring } from "remotion";

export function ShowreelComposition() {
  return (
    <AbsoluteFill>
      <Backdrop />
      <Sequence from={0} durationInFrames={48}><Logomark /></Sequence>
      <Sequence from={48} durationInFrames={64}><Capabilities /></Sequence>
      <Sequence from={112} durationInFrames={70}><ProjectCards /></Sequence>
      <Sequence from={182} durationInFrames={28}><Tagline /></Sequence>
    </AbsoluteFill>
