Hi Jack, thanks for the tips! I'll try building out your suggested method, even though I think half of it flew over my head .
Regarding the shape, you are correct, I am looking for an Oval Carousel. However, Circular is a plan B if Oval doesn't work. I did find an example https://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/GRMqWvW which is Circular and it has exactly the "interactive element" I am looking for. But, I wonder if it would be possible for this one to auto play and have the active element at 12 o'clock vs 3? Any tips there?
