Scroll 3D Carousel
Rings of cards that turn half a revolution as each section scrolls past.
This is the real effect, not a video. Scroll, drag and click inside it.
The Scroll 3D Carousel builds a ring of cards for each part of the page and turns it as the visitor scrolls. The cards travel around a real circle in space, brightening as they come forward and falling into shadow as they swing behind, while the title of the work holds the centre of the screen.
When to use it
Dressed here as a contemporary dance company, it suits anything organised into named chapters: a theatre season, a fashion calendar, a service list, a set of case studies. Four to six images per ring is the sweet spot, and it needs each chapter to have a title worth reading.
Why it works
Tying the turn to the scrollbar means the visitor controls it, so browsing feels like operating a machine rather than watching a slideshow. Because the rotation reverses when they scroll back up, people play with it, and every pass shows a different face of the ring, which makes a small set of images feel much larger than it is.
