## What We Are

CinematicCard turns a personal message into a 60-second cinematic film experience. The recipient receives a link, taps it, and the full experience plays in their browser — animated calligraphy, real fireworks, background music, photo slideshows, and a personal message revealed word by word. No app, no account, no subscription. The link never expires.

**The origin:** Founder Sid built the first card for his mom's 78th birthday on March 3, 2026. She watched it four times and cried each time. Three friends immediately asked him to make one for their moms. CinematicCard launched that same month.

## How It Works — Step by Step

1. **Choose occasion and theme** — Pick from Birthday, Mother's Day, Valentine's, etc. Each has multiple theme variations with unique animations, color palettes, and particle effects. Preview updates live.
2. **Fill in card details** — Enter opening title, recipient's name, personal message, sign-off, and your name. Choose background music. Live preview updates as you type.
3. **Preview for free** — See exactly what the recipient will see — full-screen cinematic card with music, animated calligraphy, floating particles, and fireworks. Free to preview, no payment yet.
4. **Customize** — Add up to 20 photos (cinematic slideshow with Ken Burns effect), upload custom MP3/MP4 music, set scheduled delivery date, optionally add cash gift reveal.
5. **Lock, seal & pay** — Secure Stripe checkout. Wax seal animation plays.
6. **Card delivered** — Unique permanent link generated. Recipient receives email. You get a dashboard link to see how many times it's been viewed.

### Bulk Send Flow
1. Create card normally (design, message, music, photos)
2. Enable "Send to multiple people" in checkout panel
3. Upload CSV, Excel (.xlsx/.xls), or text file with name and email columns
4. Map columns, review and fix validation errors
5. Pay once — every recipient gets their own personalized card with their name in calligraphy

### Our Story (https://cinematiccard.com/story)

March 3, 2026 — Founder Sid's mom was turning 78. He couldn't be there in person. Hallmark felt like giving up. So he built her a birthday card: canvas animations, particle fireworks, calligraphy that wrote her name stroke by stroke in burgundy ink on a soft pink card. Twelve photos. A real letter. And at the end: "I love you, Mom" writing itself letter by letter.

He sent the link at 7:00 AM on her birthday. She watched it four times in a row. Called her sister, her aunt, showed it to neighbors. Three friends immediately asked for one. That's when Sid realized: everyone has someone who deserves this.

The following weeks turned the birthday card into a product — themed templates for every occasion, a card generator that takes your words, photos, message, and produces a card that feels like a short film.

### Tutorial (https://cinematiccard.com/tutorial)

Step-by-step guide from theme selection through bulk send.

1. Choose occasion and theme — live preview updates as you browse
2. Fill in details — opening title, recipient name, message, sign-off, music choice
3. Preview for free — see exactly what recipient will see; sound on to hear music
4. Customize — add photos (Ken Burns slideshow), upload custom music (MP3/MP4), schedule delivery, add cash gift
5. Lock, seal & pay — secure Stripe checkout, wax seal animation
6. Card generated and sent — unique link, recipient email, sender dashboard

**Bulk Send:**
- Enable "Send to multiple people" in checkout
- Upload CSV, Excel (.xlsx/.xls), or text file
- Auto-detect name and email columns, confirm mapping
- Review validation — fix invalid emails inline
- Pay once — every recipient gets personalized card with their name in calligraphy
- Supported: up to 500 recipients per bulk send
- Bulk pricing: 25 @ $7.99 · 50 @ $6.99 · 100 @ $5.99 · 250 @ $4.99 · 500+ @ $3.99 per card
