Refresh the url to see the 3 different scenes - hurry though, cambria is putting a new temporary campaign up next week I believe.

They're built with a mix of CSS keyframe animations, transition/transforms, and JS. A lot of work was put in to make the animations smooth on the ipad 1(!), and the majority of effects have a fallback going back to IE7.

I used some jquery plugins like 'jquery.animate-enhanced' that would automatically turn $().animate(...) calls into using transitions if supported, but a fair amount of effects were written multiple ways to handle all browsers.


ratbeard, you really know how to turn this male developer on.
