Swap the rotating Earth backdrop for an AI-generated golden-hour shot
of Antananarivo's skyline with navy cardboard boxes parachuting in
from across the frame. The hero box at center gets the MVA Global Fret
shield overlaid for the last second of the loop, so each cycle ends
on a brand reveal.
Pipeline: source video cropped (bottom 150px) to remove the HeyGen
watermark, audio stripped, MVA logo composited on the foreground box
from t=4 to t=5 with a 0.3s alpha fade-in, re-encoded to H.264 at CRF
22 (1.1 MB total).
Tint overlay softened — the original navy gradient was tuned for the
dark space backdrop and was crushing the golden hour light.

Tracking the line against the rotating globe was finicky and never
quite aligned. Strip out the SVG route, the great-circle slerp, the
3D projection and the debug overlay — the rotating Earth alone is
the visual now.
Re-add a subtle mouse parallax: the video shifts up to 22px against
the cursor, the CTA button tilts 8px the opposite way for a 3D feel.
On mobile, deviceorientation drives the same vars.

Replace the Pexels stock clip with a higher-quality Earth-from-space loop
hosted in /videos (720p, 60s, slowed 2x, 12 MB). The static SVG arc is
gone — the route is now computed every frame from a 3D projection that
follows the globe's rotation:
- France (48.85N, 2.35E) and Antananarivo (-18.9N, 47.5E) are placed on
a unit sphere, then rotated around the Y axis to match the apparent
central longitude of the video at each frame (LON0=140 deg, omega
=-5.75 deg/s, calibrated empirically from sample frames).
- A great-circle arc is sampled with slerp and projected
orthographically; only the front-side portion (z > 0) is drawn.
- Pins fade out when their city rotates behind the globe; the whole
group fades out when both endpoints are on the back side.
Mouse parallax dropped — it would desync the SVG from the video and
break alignment.

Replace clouds video (Pexels 2098989) with actual Earth-from-space footage
(Pexels 854275 — Europe/Africa visible + orbiting satellite) and remove
the static Unsplash Earth photo layer that was overlaying the video.

- Background video: aerial cloudscape (Pexels free video, 7.4 MB SD)
autoplay, loop, muted; fastest mouse parallax (-45px). Hue-shifted
toward navy and slightly desaturated.
- Earth-from-space photo overlaid in screen blend mode at 78%
opacity so the cloud motion shows through; medium parallax.
- Navy night tint preserves brand palette and central legibility.
- New SVG route layer: thin red gradient stroke (1.5px) curving
Paris → Antananarivo, with a glow filter, a soft halo path
beneath, two fixed pin markers at each endpoint, and a white
pulse traveling along the path on a 3.6s loop.
- Centered card content was stripped to JUST the gold "Accéder au
site" button (continuous pulse ring + hover shine + lift).
The full text block (welcome / subtitle / 3 meta stats) is gone.

Previous SVG illustrations and emojis were dropped per user feedback.
The new intro is a single fixed viewport (no scroll) where every
layer reacts to mouse movement only:
Layer 1 — Real photo: Earth at night from space (NASA / Unsplash),
slow parallax (-18px max).
Layer 2 — Navy gradient tint to anchor the brand palette and
ensure central card legibility.
Layer 3 — Real photo: aerial sunset clouds (Unsplash), 28%
opacity with mix-blend-mode soft-light, faster
parallax (-32px max).
Layer 4 — Gold radial glow that follows the cursor (mix-blend
screen), giving an interactive "spotlight" feel.
Layer 5 — 12 floating gold particles with continuous CSS
animation, fastest parallax (-55px max).
Center card (glassmorphism, navy + gold border, blur 24px) tilts in
the OPPOSITE direction (+12px) for a 3D depth illusion. The CTA
button has a continuous pulse ring, hover lift + shine sweep, and
routes to accueil.html.
Mobile: device-orientation events drive the parallax instead of
mouse. prefers-reduced-motion kills all animations.

The new index.html is a 3-act scroll-driven storytelling intro:
Act 1 (Tarmac at sunset)
Sunset gradient sky, mountain silhouettes, hangar, runway with
centerline lights. Inline SVG cargo plane (MVA-branded gold tail)
sits on the ground while box emojis cycle up a loading ramp.
Act 2 (Take-off at dusk)
Dusk sky, two parallax cloud layers and distant mountains. The
plane translates diagonally up-and-right with a slight tilt and
a glowing contrail, sized down progressively.
Act 3 (Arrival at night)
Deep navy night sky with twinkling stars, a glowing moon, and
the Madagascar coastline silhouette. A small plane fades in
descending toward the island, then a centered CTA block reveals:
"Bienvenue à bord" with the gold "Accéder au site" button that
routes to accueil.html (the real homepage).
Implementation:
- Pure CSS layered scenes; no library
- Scroll progress driven by a single CSS custom property --scroll
(0→1) updated via rAF, layers transform off it
- Mouse-move parallax on layers via --mx/--my (skipped on touch)
- Inline SVG plane reused across the 3 scenes
- All text is i18n-driven with a new `intro` section in FR/EN/MG
Architecture changes:
- index.html → new parallax intro
- accueil.html → former index.html content (full homepage)
- All nav/logo/footer links updated index.html → accueil.html across
the 8 existing pages
- Mobile-nav on accueil.html now also includes Service Commande
