A love letter to Tarantino's pacing, in the form of a five-reel scroll story. Each reel pivots tone — diner, dance, Marsellus, the case, the briefcase — and there are nine Easter eggs hidden across the journey.
#Why R3F
The pacing question turned into a 3D question fast. To match the reel-to-reel feel, I needed depth and tactile transitions, and Three.js (via R3F) was the right tool. The whole thing renders inside a single canvas with route-segmented scenes.
#What I learned
How much restraint a tribute site needs. One bad title card and the reverence breaks. I rewrote the type four times.
