Menu Animation Concept

I added some movement to the original design I did a few posts back. It's been challenging and fun getting this thing to work. Even though it's just a concept, I still wanted the UX to make sense. My goal was to redefine the way we interact with a menu; to try and make it a little more fun, despite it being more of a utility than anything.

P.S. if anyone can explain how to avoid the thin black line at the bottom of the video, I'm all ears. I exported it from AE and there was definitely no black line there pre-export - the background gradient extended beyond the bounds of the composition. It doesn’t always appear, so if you don’t see it, just ignore this :P
