Micro-interactions

Aperture

A camera iris. Blades pivot on a ring of pins and one shared angle drives the whole mechanism: wide open at 64% of the housing, past the centre and light-tight at zero, cutting the scalloped polygon a real iris makes on the way through.

What It Demonstrates

Reveal
Content is uncovered gradually, often by animating a clip-path or mask.
Rotate
Spin an element around a point.
Clip-path
Clipping an element to a shape, used for reveals, masks, and before/after sliders.
Orchestration
Deliberately timing multiple animations so they feel like one coordinated motion.
Bounce
A spring that overshoots and settles, adding playfulness.
Ease-in-out
Slow, fast, slow. Good for elements already on screen moving from A to B.
