Firewatch Parallax Effect
This template is a recreation of the multi-layered Parallax Effect found on the Firewatch game's main website. The parallax effect uses up to nine layers of images. Each image scrolls at a different speed giving the viewer a sense of depth as they scroll through the page.
You can even add more layers if desired, but I felt like the 9 layers added plenty of depth to the scene. You can even take away layers for a simpler look.

This template uses the Smooth Scroll JQuery add-on. Go ahead, give us a high five! It'll take you back to the top of the site in the smoothest style ever! The Smooth Scroll gives the Parallax Effect an even better feel.

By using the Waypoints JQuery library, the animations don't load until they are in view. This further captures the eye of the user.
