Ask your agent

"Make our event poster move: CMYK halftone dots that resolve from huge to fine until the headline reads, on warm paper, 1:1 and 9:16."

The agent writes the script, lints it, checks a contact sheet and renders every format. You give notes in plain words.

Parameters

  • halftone: cell size in pixels, animatable
  • halftone-mode, halftone-angle: CMYK or mono screens and their angle
  • halftone-paper: paper colour
  • riso, grain, paper: risograph overprint, film grain and paper texture

FAQ

Is the grain the same in every render?

Yes. Grain and paper are seeded per render, so a re-render after a text change keeps the same texture.

Can I combine halftone with other looks?

Yes. Looks stack on a layer and every value can be animated.
