How to recreate this animated background with distortion effect?
If you're purely wanting to add a shader effect then as a newcomer to the shader world I'd recommend curtainsjs as an easy way to add custom shaders without the hassle of having to deal with low level WebGL setup stuff. They even have a similar example with the mouse distortion effect where the code is much more readable and well commented with another codepen by the creator of curtains which has a more similar mouse flow effect that could be repurposed to be a post effect shader and distort the output of a gradient shader.

How AnimatePresence in framer-motion works

"react-next-tilt" and "react-flip-tilt" NPM Packages
At this point, I was already using a tilt component (react-parallax-tilt) in my portfolio, and after checking this page I had the general idea of how it should be done, a container with transform-style: preserve-3d, with two children, one tilt and the other an image, both having backface-visibility: hidden and the tilt being rotated to face backward at the start. For the animation, I decided to use framer-motion because I was already familiar with it and knew it had what was needed to get the job done (and I'm glad I did because later I needed to await the animation and it was easy with framer-motion).
