[{"selector":"#anim-a492d9bd-6bfd-4ed0-b7bd-5c583e5b306f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-22b6da7f-6d65-4855-8cf9-fa61278ebea9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(51.19214%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] With the right base camera, you can experiment with more low-fi attachments like your phone.

My go to lenses:

[{"selector":"#anim-c0e644fc-7aa9-44f3-8940-044986b7a676","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d956b313-1df6-4b3d-b51f-20208d7d5155","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Depending on your subject matter and your location, you may want to consider at least 2 lenses.
