I'm doing a project where it's required to basically replicate the effect where the letters of the site title move along with scrolling (exactly like here: https://en.playkot.com/, this word PLAYKOT).
Do you have any idea how can I achieve that effect when letters move during scrolling, in different directions and different lengths? I'm not sure about the interplays between scrollmagic and/or tweens.
I managed to solve the problem, have a look here: Use Full page view (preferably on my CODEPEN) to properly see the effect please, as this is not (but can be easily turned into) responsive version.

var winH = $(window).height();

});
var tween1 = new TimelineMax();
tween1.to($main, 1, {
y: -winH / 4,
ease: Linear.easeNone
});
scene1p.setTween(tween1);
controller.addScene(scene1p);
var scene2p = new ScrollMagic.Scene({
