Dear Andrew Kramer,
I know this goes against your rules (sorry).. but it would be so incredibly awesome if you could make a tutorial or some kind of "behind the scenes" in the creation of the Fringe title... every time i watch that i get chills. I think that the demographics that are attracted to this website and your sick tutorials are the same people that love that show and the work put into it.
That show inspired me to look into products like After Effect tutorials, which brought me here.. I'm kinda new to your website but it's now my homepage, I've see tutorials 1-58 and I'm planning on buying your 10 pack bundle, just once i get my next pay check... haha.
PS. Just so i don't look like a complete retard.. iMDB says Andrew Kramer is the main guy behind the Fringe title.. so I'm guessing your that A.K. .. if oddly not I'm sure with your skill you could recreate it.

The Titleanimation of Dawn of the Dead would be a good tutorial challenge 
I have no real clue, how to reproduce this liquid blood looking type just in AE...
In 3d(Realflow,Maya) yes, but just in AE ?

I mean I'm not sayin its bad im just sayin you need to slow down and go more in depth so we understand it and get it right o_o'' cause Ive watched this sucker 5 times and I can't get a shadow casted at all!

Actually, that's near the top of my list.
The guy who designed and animated it contacted me a while ago, and I'm working with him on materials for the post.

It's on our master "to-do" list, but I'm not sure when we'll cover it. It's a nice sequence though.

Thanks for the offer. We're solid for the moment, but after the explosion of viewership from Andrew's post here, who knows what will happen!

The Lord of War sequence was created by L'E.S.T., who also produced a number of VFX shots for the film.

We're hoping to cover that sequence soon.

Ian,
I love your site. If you ever need help posting some updates I'd be more than glad to help you.
I'm very passionate about filmmaking and motion graphics so this site is nothing but joy for me to browse.

Thanks for the site link. One that is not on there that I wish I knew more about is the Opening credits to Lord of War. Anyone know who produced it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4jMzKxYB74
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks, and right back at you. Been a fan of this place for a while now.
I just love the cyclical idea of inspiring people with your work here, having them visit and become even more excited at Art of the Title, then creating the piece and submitting it to Art of the Title, which then brings folks back here!

The greatest title sequence ever is the one in Ghost in the Shell 2:Innocence, hands down!
Though the actual text is presented in a rather simple way, the sequence is unbelievably intense and artistic, as is the whole movie.

You should totally try to do a stranger than fiction type effect... oh wait. you did... it was called 3D Shadows haha. Awesomeness!
Thought I'd post a thank you to Andrew and VideoCopilot, as well as everyone else who has commented about the Art of the Title site I run. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
My goal with the site is commentary and discussion on a broad range of title designs for film and television, with a focus on quality, not quantity.
(The site requires the latest version of QuickTime from Apple)
Suggestions and feedback are most welcome.

Andrew, This is a cool site. I've been following it for a few weeks and have added to my inspiration list. I was planning on mentioning it on my blog but you beat me to it damn it.

Now i know for a fact you liked El Don, if for some strange reason you didn't see it you probably should.

Looks like a cool site. I've always been interested in the art of titling. Some of the recent Spidermans have had some interesting titles.
Yeah - yeah, the title sequence "Stranger Than Fiction [2006]" inspire me to look closer on pendulum expression . Must to create something in this style.

Thanks for the link A.K., some very sweet stuff there!
Did you ever watch Sisters? That movie scared the crap out of me when I saw it 35 years ago.
I like the end titles for "Iron Man" and "Stranger then fiction" and I like the way they did "We're here to help"!

That's Cool. Apparently the people that did El Don [2008] on there are big costomers of Video Copilot. lol

Great site.
Also I really like the end of the Bourne movies. (Mostly Identity) It's a very simple, yet an effective effect.

They don't have it listed, but the closing credits for Shoot 'Em Up are fantastic!

Nice site, thanks for the link. We actually just put a spot together based on the 2004 Dawn of the Dead Opening editing treatment for our local Football team. Opening film sequences have always been great. One of my favorites is the opening to Fight Club. Great Sequence!!
Thanks Andrew, this is exactly what I was thinking to write you about and you just linked me to it.
Thanks,

Looks like the title sequence from "El Don" (about 1/3 of the way down the page) might have used some Riot Gear elements. There's some ink splatter effects in there too...every now and then I see something that makes me wonder just how many people are watching Andrew's tutorials. Either way, it's still pretty awesome.

The Stranger Than Fiction effects are along the same design as the sequence in Fight Club in Edward Norton's apartment. I always liked that effect.
Thanks for yet another point of inspiration.
