Scroll-Expanding Accordion Images
Five tall image panels sit in a pinned row; scrolling opens them one after another — the active panel widens to take half the row while the others compress to slivers — using only transforms and clip-path, with the caption rising inside the open panel.

light Grid-to-List Morph on Scroll
A pinned gallery of eight tiles morphs from a four-column grid into an index list as you scroll: Flip records the grid, the layout class flips to list, and Flip.from() is scrubbed inside a paused timeline while titles and hairline rules stagger in.

Featured light Grid Item Expand to Fullscreen
A 3×2 grid pins; as you scroll the centre tile grows (a measured clip-path inset) until it fills the viewport while the other five tiles slide out of frame, then a headline rises over the full-bleed image. Scroll up and it folds back into the grid.

Featured medium Rotating Image Ring
Twelve portrait images stand on a 3D ring (rotateY i×30° translateZ R) inside a perspective stage; a pinned section turns the ring with the scroll while the frame facing you is named in a caption and tracked by a progress bar.

Featured light Pinned Horizontal Scroll Gallery
A full-height section pins while vertical scrolling drives a row of large cards sideways; each card's image parallaxes against its frame and a hairline progress bar tracks the journey.
