Spotlight Animation & Prism SVG Filter Effect (GSAP)

In this tutorial we’ll build a fully interactive hero section in Webflow — complete with a spotlight effect that follows your cursor, a smooth GSAP-powered hover animation, and a custom SVG prism filter that adds a premium color-shift glow.
Here’s what you’ll learn step by step:
✅ Setting up the hero section with clean, scalable structure
✅ Creating a radial spotlight overlay that tracks the mouse
✅ Animating the hero image with GSAP scale & rotate on hover
✅ Styling the button with subtle CSS transitions
✅ Applying a custom SVG filter
✅ Using GSAP + JavaScript to animate the RGB offsets for the prism effect
✅ Ensuring full accessibility (pointer + keyboard)
The result? A dynamic, elegant hero section that feels premium and professional — and one you can easily adapt to your own projects.
