And add some styles too.

*{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

:root{
    --loading-text-size: 12vw;
}

body{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100vh;
    position: relative;
    font-family: 'roboto', sans-serif;
}

.landing-page{
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background: url(bg.jpeg);
    background-size: cover;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-position: center;
}

.loading-container{
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    z-index: 99;
}

.shutter{
    position: relative;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 50%;
    background-color: #0a0a0a;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.shutter.top{
    top: 0;
    animation: slide-top 5s 4s forwards 1;
}

.shutter.bottom{
    bottom: 0;
    animation: slide-bottom 5s 4s forwards 1;
}

.loading-text{
    position: absolute;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    background: url(bg.jpeg);
    background-size: cover;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-position: center;
    color: #fff;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: var(--loading-text-size);
    -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
    -webkit-background-clip: text;
}

.top .loading-text{
    padding-top: calc(50vh - var(--loading-text-size)/ 1.6);
}

.bottom .loading-text{
    margin-top: calc(-1 * var(--loading-text-size)/ 1.6);
    height: calc(100% + var(--loading-text-size)/ 1.6);
}

@keyframes slide-top{
    100%{
        top: -100%;
    }
}

@keyframes slide-bottom{
    100%{
        bottom: -100%;
    }
}

/* media query */

@media (max-width: 996px){
    :root{
        --loading-text-size: 130px;
    }
}

@media (max-width: 750px){
    :root{
        --loading-text-size: 100px;
    }
}

@media (max-width: 500px){
    :root{
        --loading-text-size: 80px;
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

At last add JS

const loadingText = [...document.querySelectorAll('.loading-text')];

let text = 'loading';

for(let i = 0; i < text.length; i++){
    setTimeout(() => {
        loadingText[0].innerHTML += text[i];
        loadingText[1].innerHTML += text[i];
    }, 500 * i);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Done. The animation is done. If you want to understand it more clear make sure to checkout tutorial video.

I hope you understood everything. If you have any doubt or you find any mistake that I made or you have any suggestion feel free to ask me in comment.

If you are interested in programming and want to know how I a 15yr old teen do coding make these design. You can follow me on my Instagram. I am also planning to post my game development stuff on Instagram.
