No motion of its own. Animate position, scale or color from the frame if the shot needs movement. - **Runs:** local render, free - **Aspect:** any ## Prompt that renders it frame-exact Use the "Hexagons" pattern from Hero Patterns by Steve Schoger (https://heropatterns.com, CC BY 4.0: attribution required, so add "Hero Patterns by Steve Schoger (heropatterns.com), CC BY 4.0" to the video description or end credits) as the background of a science, crypto or data-driven explainer. On heropatterns.com click Hexagons, set the foreground to #A5B4FC at 40% opacity on a #1E1B4B background and copy the generated CSS (the unstyled SVG tile is at https://heropatterns.com/svg/hexagons.zip); or `npm i hero-patterns` (a community MIT wrapper) and use `hexagons('#A5B4FC', 0.4)` as the background-image. Put it on a full-frame layer behind the content, repeating, and scale the tile with background-size. The 28×49 tile is small; 2× keeps the cells readable at 1080 wide. The pattern is static. To give it motion, drift it seek-safe: set background-position from the frame (Remotion: `${frame * 0.4}px ${frame * 0.2}px`; HyperFrames: tween backgroundPosition on the paused GSAP timeline), never with a CSS animation. Where text sits on top, drop the opacity to 10–25%. ## Used in - [Year in review / Wrapped](https://skills.varg.ai/video/wrapped.md) - [Lyric video](https://skills.varg.ai/video/lyric-video.md) - [Karaoke video](https://skills.varg.ai/video/karaoke.md) - [Logo sting](https://skills.varg.ai/video/logo-sting.md) - [Title sequence](https://skills.varg.ai/video/title-sequence.md) - [Brand guidelines film](https://skills.varg.ai/video/brand-guidelines.md) - [Stream overlay package](https://skills.varg.ai/video/stream-overlay.md) - [Shader loop](https://skills.varg.ai/video/shader-loop.md) ## More backgrounds & gradients - [Aurora](https://skills.varg.ai/component/hf.aurora.md) — `npx hyperframes add aurora` - [Aurora Drift](https://skills.varg.ai/component/hf.aurora-drift.md) — `npx hyperframes add aurora-drift` - [Flowing Gradient](https://skills.varg.ai/component/hf.flowing-gradient.md) — `npx hyperframes add flowing-gradient` - [Mesh Gradient](https://skills.varg.ai/component/hf.mesh-gradient.md) — `npx hyperframes add mesh-gradient` - [Mesh Gradient Background](https://skills.varg.ai/component/hf.mesh-gradient-bg.md) — `npx hyperframes add mesh-gradient-bg` - [Minimal Gradient Background](https://skills.varg.ai/component/hf.mk-background.md) — `npx hyperframes add mk-background`
