Upload 2–3 images → turn them into a simulated spinning-record animation for Instagram, TikTok, reels, and short visual posts. Read the brief, then log into the dashboard to start building.
Build an app that lets Sara upload two or three static images and turn them into a simulated spinning record animation for Instagram, TikTok, reels, ads, and short visual posts.
This app does not need to create print-ready artwork. The final product is a digital video that looks like a record, disc, sticker, or circular graphic is spinning and animating.
The user uploads two or three images. The app generates a looped animation between them, places the animation around a circular "record" layout, then renders it as a spinning video with camera effects, lighting, blur, and optional strobe-style motion.
The app should export short social media videos. Recommended export formats:
User uploads two or three source images. The app lets the user:
The app creates animated frames between the uploaded images. MVP transition styles:
The app places the generated frames onto a circular record-style design. Layout options:
The app creates a fake spinning effect. Controls:
Preview the final animation in social formats:
Export a finished video with:
This app does not need physical accuracy. It does not need:
It only needs to look cool on screen. The visual goal is "this looks like an animated spinning record," not "this will work when physically printed."
Effects that make the animation feel more alive:
The MVP is successful if Sara can:
Once that works, add AI morphing, beat sync, templates, and advanced effects.
An advanced visual mode where the spinning record begins as a flat circular graphic, then the animation "breaks the 2D wall" during the final zoom. Selected elements rise off the rotating disc, tilt toward the camera, and move independently above the record. It should feel like a trippy music visualizer, motion poster, or animated album cover.
Starts with: a fake spinning record, circular animated graphics, motion blur, light sweeps, zoetrope-style frame motion. Then on the final zoom pass: foreground objects separate from the disc, graphics stand upright, some float above the record, text/characters orbit the disc, the camera pushes through or over the surface, and the flat artwork becomes a layered 2.5D composition.
For MVP, use automatic subject cutout or let the user upload transparent PNGs.
Support one spinning record layer, one foreground image layer, a final zoom camera move, the foreground lifting up from the record, a simple shadow under the lifted object, and MP4 export for Instagram. Flow: upload background record art → upload/select a foreground cutout → choose "Breakout Mode" → preview the flat spinning record → at the final beat the cutout stands up → camera zooms in → glow/blur/shadow added → export a looping vertical video.
Do it without true 3D at first — fake depth via layer scaling, perspective transform, X-axis rotation, drop shadow, motion blur, glow, camera zoom, and parallax. Later, Three.js for real 3D camera movement, lighting, and depth.
The final video should feel like a spinning record, animated poster, music visualizer, and surreal motion graphic mashed together. It should not feel like a technical zoetrope tool — it should feel like a machine for making weird, high-impact social media visuals.
