Use Animated Beam from Animata (https://animata.design/docs/background/animated-beam, MIT) as a full-frame hero background with a title or quote on top. Each beam is a clipped strip running a CSS keyframe with its own --duration and --delay; those come from a seeded pseudo-random per index, so the layout is already repeatable and only the clock needs fixing. HyperFrames' CSS adapter can seek the keyframes once the iteration count is finite; in Remotion pause them and set animation-delay to (delay - frame / fps) seconds. Change the background gradient, beam colour and count, and keep text in the centre where the beams are sparse.
