A CodePen by MIUI Russia. LOVE Text Effect - Scrambled text effect inspired by the award winning Science Fiction film LOVE http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt1541874/. Ported from a JavaScript jQuery plugin that @soulwire created on jsdo.it at the end of last year after we had just watched the film http://jsdo.it/soulwire/love-text-fx
