A late-night video store, and the VCR you take the tape home to.
- The tape wall
- Rewind turns a Video.js v10 player into a video store. Real 3D VHS boxes, drawn in WebGL with light, laminate reflections and soft shadows, ride a half-sphere that turns as you scroll. Four scroll steps, then the page moves on.
- Out of the box
- Hover a box and it tips sideways while the cassette slides out of its open side, reels turning, like checking a rental at the counter.
- Cinematic preview
- Keep hovering and the film takes over the screen: the trailer plays behind, the title and story sit on the left, the rest of the shelf waits in a row below. Close it to return to the wall.
- The cassette is the controls
- The strip of exposed tape is the seek bar. The reels are a second progress readout: tape leaves the left reel and winds onto the right, and the smaller reel spins faster.
- Picture modes
- HD clean, Vintage VHS, black and white, red tube and green tube. The old sets add scanlines, grain, jitter, a darker frame and a camcorder date stamp.
- Loop
- One clear key with an ON / OFF label. While it is on, the counter shows LOOP and the tape plays again without stopping.
- Fullscreen
- The picture fills the screen and the deck shrinks to a thin bar of tape, keys and picture modes that hides when the pointer rests.
- Films and Index
- A Netflix-style Films page with shelves by genre and hover previews, and an Index where each title trails its poster behind the cursor, blurring with speed.
- Light and dark
- A paper-white store by day and a dim one after closing, switched from the menu.
- For everyone
- Every control works from the keyboard with a visible focus ring, keys are at least 44 pixels, on-screen text keeps a hard outline over bright and dark footage, and reduced motion stops the reels, glitches and drifting boxes.
- Credits
- Website, player skin and all seven films on the tape wall, including their posters and short films, designed and made by Nigar Naghdaliyeva.
