Brick & Ripple: Curtis "Ripple" Reynolds and Jimmy Brown
Brick & Ripple
You're on stage with them.
Curtis "Ripple" Reynolds on keytar. Jimmy Brown, the original lead voice of Brick, on sax, flute and trumpet. This prototype shows how the home page could open like a 3D movie before the rest of the site begins.
A depth model measured how far each part of the photo is from the camera. The fence and trees slide behind Curtis and Jimmy as you move, while their faces stay perfectly still and undistorted.
The brass logo, light dust and stage haze float in front of the photo at different depths. The logo breaks past the frame edge and casts a soft shadow, so it reads as closer to you.
Scrolling pushes the camera from the back of the venue toward the stage. The logo and dust rush past you, the frame dissolves, and the photo fills the screen.
A warm follow spot tracks your mouse or finger. It lights faces, dust and brass, and drifts gently between the two of them when you stop moving.
