Front-End Web Developer - Cinematic Website Build
Mediact Inc.
Paid Contract
Remote/North Bay
Project-Based
Portfolio Builder
WHO WE ARE
A studio where film meets technology.
Mediact is a transmedia studio working at the intersection of film, technology, and storytelling. We develop
original content, build cinematic brand campaigns, and create scalable digital experiences. We’re building our new website — and we want it to feel less like a website, and more like a film. We’re looking for a developer who’s excited about that challenge.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Build something you’ll actually want in your portfolio. This isn’t a template job. You’ll be building a high-end, interaction-driven site from scratch — working directly alongside our designer to bring a cinematic vision to life.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
This project involves custom cursor design, film-inspired page transitions, scroll-based storytelling, and rich media integration. The kind of work that stands out in a portfolio — not just another landing page.
Key responsibilities.
- Responsive website — built from provided designs across desktop, tablet, and mobile
- Cinematic page transitions — smooth fades and dissolves, not standard navigation
- Custom interactive cursor — inspired by the Mediact pen-nib logo mark
- Scroll-based animations — elements that reveal and respond as you move through the page
- Video & rich media integration — performant loading, high visual impact
- Hover states and micro-interactions — the details that make a site feel premium
SKILLS WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You don’t need to know everything — but these matter.
Strong foundation in the following:
- HTML, CSS & JavaScript
- React or similar framework
- GSAP or animation libraries
- Scroll-based animation (e.g. ScrollTrigger)
- Responsive layout / mobile-first thinking
- Attention to timing and motion detail
Nice to have (not required):
- Smooth scroll libraries (e.g. Lenis)
- Performance optimization for media heavy sites
- Interest in film, design, or interactive storytelling
- Experience with Webflow or headless CMS
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
A builder who cares about craft.
- You care about how things feel, not just whether they work
- You’re curious and willing to experiment
- You can collaborate closely with a designer and take direction well
- You want to build experiences, not just websites
- You’re looking for real project experience to add to your portfolio
