About the Northlight template
Northlight is for film and video studios. A full-bleed showreel hero with chapters, a project accordion, festival laurels, expanding video testimonials, the crew and a giant marquee CTA put the work first.
Showreel first, everything else second. It is a complete film studio landing page for React and Tailwind CSS 4, assembled from 8 Charcoal UI sections.
Who Northlight is for
- Documentary and brand film studios.
- Video production companies.
- Animation studios.
- Directors and DPs.
What is inside
8 sections, top to bottom:
- Navbar Floating: A glass pill that hides on scroll down, with a gliding hover highlight and a mobile sheet.
- Hero Film: Cinematic hero with slow Ken Burns stills, film grain, a play control and chapter markers.
- Gallery Accordion: Destinations as an image accordion: hover a slim panel and it opens wide with its details.
- Awards: SVG laurels around each award, with the rank, the prize, who gave it and the year.
- Testimonials Video: Video testimonial cards that expand on play with captions and a running progress bar.
- Team Grid: Remote team grid: big initials over a duotone photo of each person's city, with bios on hover.

- Footer Contact: Studio footer with a giant email link, address, hours, live local time and a huge faded wordmark.
How it is built
Chapters and films are a title and an image each. Every section is a separate Charcoal UI section, so you can reorder, remove or restyle any of them, and the accent colour is one CSS variable on the page wrapper.
