Marquee: 3D Coverflow Carousel
A cinematic 3D coverflow carousel for React: posters tilt in perspective, the backdrop recolours per title, a glass player bar plays ambient tones, and the active card flies forward to play a trailer.

About this item
Streaming apps sell with artwork. Marquee puts your posters on a curved, perspective stage: the centre title stands tall while neighbours tilt away, the whole background recolours to match the active poster, and a frosted player bar sits below. Press play and the active card retracts its neighbours, flies forward with a cursor-driven 3D tilt and plays its trailer in place.
Coverflow with real depth
Cards are positioned with 3D transforms, respond to drag, wheel, arrow keys and clicks, and each title brings its own accent colour and gradient backdrop.
Trailer mode and ambient audio
A choreographed sequence tucks side cards away and brings the active card forward with a pointer-tracked tilt to play a local video or a YouTube embed; a Web Audio engine generates soft ambient chords per title, no audio files needed.
