In Search of Portfolio Inspiration: Locomotive

I have been looking at online portfolios as they could be a source of inspiration for my portfolio. And one I have stumbled upon has caught my eye in ways that I never experienced before.

Locomotive, a studio based in Canada, uses a portfolio in a "Digital-first" environment. The website utilizes heavy animations; i.e. words glitching when hovered over, pixilated animations over various objects, transitional animations when you click on a menu tab, animated gifs when you hover over the developer's names, and (something I have never seen in a portfolio before), a store that allows people to shop the latest designs created by that company. 

They showcase their work through another tab in various Design mediums and forms. I decided to look at it and see what they have done. And they did a good job with working on things such as UI/UX Design, as seen in this example:

Locomotive was responsible for the Design of the website for Lightship, a company based in San Francisco, CA that specializes in the production and use of Trailers. I even looked at a Case Study they did for this company, and they really did a good job, they showed the preview of the website, and they explained the purpose of this redesign project (because they were commissioned by the company to redesign the website). and they even gave out mockups of the redesign. 

I do like the use of animations as it gives a unique experience to the portfolio. However, I do have an issue with how fast the scroll goes; when you scroll down, it scrolls VERY fast, and it's a little hard to keep up so you need to make sure you're scrolling carefully as it tends to go fast. But other than that, this is a portfolio that I think is different than other portfolios I have seen so far.
