Looking for theme like BBC

    Hi,

    I noticed a rather nice effect on the following story at BBC.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/vdb6u1mrrv/the-boat-that-disappeared

    There is a nice box of text that scrolls on top of periodically changing images.

    I can’t figure out what to search for in wordpress themes to try and find one that comes close, or offers a good starting point to try and achieve this effect via customization.

    Any pointers or suggestions will be appreciated.

    It is interesting, but only if you use a mouse wheel (or maybe on a touch screen).
    If you try to navigate using the keyboard, you miss some text and probably most of the images, especially when scrolling from the bottom up (like trying to find a section after you read the whole page).
    The source of the page shows the images are in <canvas> elements, so there is a script that is loading them. This seems like it would be specific to the content, so it’s out of scope for a theme. But having the entire width to show the content would be the theme.
