How to make the Stranger Things intro in Touchdesigner

In this tutorial I will walk you through how to make a Stranger Things-esque scene in Touchdesigner. We will be doing some intermediate layouts with the Text SOP and use the Beat CHOP to time everything out. I also cover how to use Internal Parameters to keep everything organized.

You can find the utilities I used in the tutorial on my Github:
