GSAP/Scrollmagic basics

with the GSAP tutorials I figured out the basics of animating/tweening
I decided not to try make a comic, just do the literal basics of how it actually works - make working examples of everything I might possibly want to use, and then  later on maybe make a test comic.

Then I used this scrollmagic tutorial to figure out how to translate that into scrollmagic, making the scroll point trigger the animation rather than it just happening immediately (or delayed etc)

Had a lot of trouble getting the tweens to actually happen on the scroll point...

I looked at a bunch of demos such as:

Just to figure out their structure and syntax - everyone does it slightly differently, putting things in different places and using different methods, and I had to play around a lot and figure out how to get it to work - but I eventually got it!!

I took the bezier path itself from the scrollmagic demo.

The svg took a lot of work - I grabbed some other people's code and put it in mine, to figure out how it worked. initially my svg line must've been a shape because it went around the letters twice, so I drew a messier one with the pen tool which worked properly.

testing on mobile......

FINAL CODE ONLINE - it's not particularly tidy, but I wanted it to be purely the javascript as much as possible, to keep it simple for myself

Now that I've got a better understanding of the basics, I think I have a better plan as to how my eyes comic I did a while ago could work, so maybe I will do that.
