A black and white grid of video tiles flickering in rhythmic patterns, styled after retro computer terminals with monospace type and blinking cursor elements.
Orage Studio's homepage looks like someone turned a VFX pipeline into a website, then fed it through a 1980s mainframe boot sequence. The Paris-based studio partnered with Beaucoup Studio to build something that feels more like a visual operating system. The centerpiece is a modular WebGL grid where each cell is a dynamic canvas masking video fragments. Tiles flicker like data packets, video syncs and desyncs in rhythmic waves, and the whole thing breathes with shader-driven time offsets. You can drag the menu around and drop it anywhere on screen. The loader mimics a system boot, complete with terminal authentication.
Beaucoup is a Lyon-based creative studio with Awwwards Studio of the Year nominations under their belt. Their technical approach here leans on Three.js for the canvas-masking grid engine, GSAP for micro-interaction timing, Taxi.js for view transitions, and Lenis for that buttery scroll. The real magic is how tightly the aesthetic commits to its conceit: monospace type, blinking cursors, surveillance-style windows, controlled glitches. They borrowed the rhythm of command-line interfaces without making it feel like a gimmick. The dual project view lets you browse either as a cinematic card grid or a terminal-style list, which is a smart nod to how different brains want to parse information.
Go play with it. Drag that menu around. Watch the cells compile on load.
