RED Hackathon | Opening Animation
A 25-second hackathon title sequence built entirely from terminal type and ASCII art, in which countdown code, drifting cursors, green character fireworks and walls of team names accumulate, closing on the RED Hackathon logo lockup on black.

Create a 25-second hackathon opening title sequence rendered entirely in terminal aesthetics on pure black. Build every image from monospaced characters and ASCII art: a countdown code readout, drifting coloured circles over character fields, starbursts that bloom like fireworks, digit grids that resolve into figures, and a scrolling wall of participant names in Chinese and English. Animate with typewriter reveals, glitchy block flickers and fast hard cuts on the beat rather than smooth easing. Keep the palette to black, white, terminal green, electric blue and small accents of pink and red. Close on a centred logo lockup with bold Chinese characters and a mountain mark.
How it’s put together
One frame per shot, with what is said over it.
0:02A black terminal screen fills with blue and white blocks of monospaced code beneath a countdown readout reading "t_minus = 47:12:55".
0:06Green, white and blue circles drift across a dense field of ASCII characters while a pixel hand cursor hovers near the centre.
0:10Rows of green ASCII starbursts bloom like fireworks across the black frame with the words "No Limits" set in small type at the right.
0:15Grids of repeating digits form ghostly figures in white and green pixel clusters against a dark numeric background.
0:19A wall of tightly packed Chinese and English team names glows in green, blue and pink across the full black frame.
0:23The RED Hackathon end card sits on black with bold Chinese characters, a small red logo badge and a white mountain mark.
