What it does

Six scattered, rotated photo cards converge into a single stack as you scroll through a sticky section, uncovering the headline they were covering. A single GSAP timeline drives all six from their authored data-x/data-y/data-r offsets to a shared resting point, wired to ScrollTrigger with `scrub: 1.1` — a lagged scrub, so releasing the wheel leaves the cards travelling for about a second and scrolling back up finds them still piled over the headline.

Rebuild it with AI

To reproduce this animation in your own project, copy the prompt below into Claude Code, Cursor or any AI coding agent. The prompt is validated — it describes the exact structure, timing and easing, so the agent rebuilds the effect faithfully and you can then adapt colors, copy and layout to your design.
