A grid of tiny grey squares twinkling at random brightness, like a dim LED wall

Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Flickering Grid from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/flickering-grid, MIT) as a textured full-frame background, or masked behind a logo. It redraws a canvas in requestAnimationFrame and re-rolls a random opacity per square according to flickerChance, so frames are not reproducible. For a render, compute each square's opacity from a seeded hash of (column, row, floor(t * flickerRate)) and draw that frame; t is frame / fps in Remotion or the timeline time in HyperFrames. Set squareSize, gridGap, color, maxOpacity and flickerChance; a radial mask keeps the middle clean for text.
