This is a redesign of an earlier work I did while a student in the grad program at SCAD. I've taken several weeks to truly teach myself After Effects from the ground up as well as doing a multitude of online tutorials.
The original premise of this title sequence was designed and executed several months before the release of the movie. In researching for the piece I found my inspiration in the poster of The Joker writing Why so serious? in blood on a window, in which the viewer is looking through at him.
I decided that since this movie was less about Batman and more about The Joker that the opening sequence should push that. Much in the same way that Saul Bass worked the opening sequence for a film in order to impress the mood of the film to the audience.
Many thanks goes to the excellent work and teaching of Andrew Kramer over at VideoCopilot.net.
Enjoy!
oh I get it, by the way, awesome!

the dark night 2? what?

@wildfilms365 I just named it that because it was my second try at this project that originally started in grad school. The first wasn't this nice but I kept both on my YouTube channel for a time so people could see the difference.

@voiceoverdutch a tutorial to this? I can try to dig up the various tutorials I did that taught me how to do some of this. May take a bit. I'll get back to you on this if that works.
