+
+## Parth Gupta NukeFX Portfolio Website — Implementation Plan
+
+Session began with a comprehensive 9-phase implementation plan for building a cinematic, video-first portfolio site for Parth Gupta, a VFX creative director known for work with Post Malone, Pixomondo, Coinbase, and other major clients. The site targets nukefx.com with dark mode as the primary experience.
+
+**Tech Stack**: Astro 5 + React 19 + Tailwind 4 + GSAP ScrollTrigger + Cloudflare Pages deployment. The project already has scaffolding in place; this session focused on planning the full build path.
+
+**Design Direction**: Cinematic and editorial—dark, moody, generous negative space where the work speaks for itself. Typography uses Libre Baskerville for headings (editorial weight), Poppins for body (clean modern), IBM Plex Mono for technical details. Color palette is a warm amber/reddish oklch scheme, not the default shadcn grayscale. Motion is controlled: GSAP parallax on hero video and scroll-triggered reveals, with hover-play on project cards; restraint elsewhere to avoid gimmickry.
+
+**Key Architectural Decisions**:
+- Video-first approach: hover-play thumbnails, fullscreen showreel hero, before/after sliders for VFX work
+- Content via Astro 5 Content Layer with Projects and Blog collections
+- Contact form with Resend email integration and honeypot validation
+- Cloudflare Wrangler for Pages deployment with Node.js compat flag
+- View Transitions compatibility baked in from the start
+
+**No retro effects**: Explicitly rejected custom cursor, pixel shadows, scanlines, or CRT styling—this is an elegant editorial portfolio, not a gaming site.
+
+**Open threads**: Implementation begins with Phase 0 (dependencies and config), followed by design system, layouts, navigation, content collections, component build-out, page creation, blog infrastructure, and contact system.
