Dynamic Real time Animation

The Brief

The client wanted an explainer-style animation with a specific feel: start with a simple background, then have pop-out elements, trees and animals, introduce themselves one at a time, the way a physical pop-up book reveals a scene layer by layer rather than dropping the whole picture in at once.

Our Approach

We built the animation in Construct 2, sequencing each element's entrance so the pacing matched a pop-up card rather than a generic fade-or-slide transition. Getting that paper-craft feel right in a real-time HTML5 animation is mostly about timing and easing on each individual element, not a single blanket animation applied to the whole scene, each tree and animal needed its own entrance that read as physically popping into place.

Because it ran in the browser, the animation also had to stay lightweight. The job was to make the scene feel hand-timed while keeping the asset load small and the playback reliable on ordinary devices, which is a different problem from exporting a fixed video file. The viewer gets the immediacy of a web animation, while the client keeps an experience that can sit directly inside a page.

The Outcome

The result is a real-time HTML5 animation that builds its scene the way a pop-up book does, background first, then each element appearing in its own moment, rather than presenting everything at once.
