Demo – Creating a Parallax Effect in Framer

04:11

Bring your hero sections to life with a smooth, scroll-triggered parallax effect. In this lesson, you’ll build a layered animation where text, clouds, and even a plane move dynamically to add depth and wow factor to your design.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to layer assets for scroll-based motion

  • Applying scroll speed effects to create depth

  • Using scroll transforms for movement across the screen

  • Building a full parallax section with animated elements

Bring your hero sections to life with a smooth, scroll-triggered parallax effect. In this lesson, you’ll build a layered animation where text, clouds, and even a plane move dynamically to add depth and wow factor to your design.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to layer assets for scroll-based motion

  • Applying scroll speed effects to create depth

  • Using scroll transforms for movement across the screen

  • Building a full parallax section with animated elements

In this exercise, you’ll start with a fully designed but unanimated landing page. Your goal is to animate each section based on techniques shown in Ryan’s demo, entrance animations, scroll-based effects, and interactive states.

This exercise helps solidify what you’ve learned by applying animation techniques to a real-world design.

Below, you will find a static Framer project with no animations applied.

What You’ll Animate

Your task is to add motion that enhances clarity, hierarchy, and engagement. Try to match Ryan’s demo, or go one step further.

How to Approach It

  1. Open the static Framer file (linked below).

  2. Use auto animations, scroll effects, and interactive states to bring each section to life.

  3. Try to recreate what you saw in the demo, but feel free to push it further.

  4. Preview your result and compare to the original.

Review Prompts

Take a moment to reflect or discuss + post in the Slack:

  • Which part of the animation flow was easiest or most difficult?

  • How did animations improve the user experience?

  • What animation style felt the most difficult to you?.

  • Did you match Ryan’s animations or choose a different animation style, and why?
