Morphing Page Transition

A simple morphing page transition effect where an SVG path gets morphed into another while the current page moves up.

Whilst the intro/splash screen is translated vertically over a distance of 200vh the shaped in the SVG at the bottom grows from a few pixels in height to 100vh, creating the gooey effect.

<div class="content content--intro">
	<div class="content__inner">
		<!-- ... -->
	</div>
	<div class="shape-wrap">
		<svg class="shape" width="100%" height="100vh" preserveAspectRatio="none" viewBox="0 0 1440 800" xmlns:pathdata="http://www.codrops.com/">

			</path>
		</svg>
	</div>
</div><!-- /content--intro -->

<div class="content content--fixed">
	<div class="content__inner">
		<!-- ... -->
	</div>
</div><!-- /content--fixed -->

The SVG path data is morphed using a CSS animation, as both paths contain the same amount of points.
