Thanks, my friend! That means a lot coming from you :)

Awesome channel mate

[@jei-el2139]

For a few weeks now I've been watching Loki thinking, "I need to try and recreate this." and here you've done it! I'm so happy

[@BenMarriott]

Amazing! Such a good series

[@antshar7388]

Imagine Loki's effect artist who keyframed everything manually instead of using this clever trick with Time Displacement.

[@JamesMurphyStudios]

That’s what I was thinking

[@jamnnjelly3102]

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have the job if they didn't know about tricks like this

[@jasonlimyeekai]

They definitely knew, they just chose not to use it

[@hlive714]

I know the one

[@JacobCarlson]

As soon as I saw the Loki intro for the first time, with the low animation-style frame rate and the dust/grain textures, I thought to myself: "Did Ben Marriott make this??"

Hi mork

[@olivz9146]

its just the font that makes the O look like an I stop the violation

[@dementedpenguinz]

Marvel: what font should we use for intro sequence? Also Marvel: ¿Por qué no los dos?

[@BenMarriott]

Loki budget... $50 mil cast $49 mil fonts

[@quianimations]

So that’s where all their budget went

[@nicolasherrera0]

$300 mil on the last episode, damn

[@diegogiovannimusic]

I love this opening sequence! Thanks for this!

[@BenMarriott]

I love it too, so subtle compared to the Marvel Studios title

[@worstever5151]

simply amazing

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so muchhhh!

[@Dammitimmad]

I don't work in After Effects alot but I watched this whole video from start to end without skipping because it was so interesting seeing just a black background slowly turning into the Loki Intro

[@Bruuze]

Man you read my mind, I love that title sequence so much. Another thing to note for those who want to recreate it that wasn't touched on in the video: The glow effect applied to the text changes to be more or less intense when the characters swap. This will help add even more variety to the text. (But don't be afraid to play around with it, the more creative you get with it, the better)

[@lorcanpreston4643]

Hey Ben, just wanna say that i've been following these tutorials for a long time now and you've essentially taught me how to use After Effects and I really appreciate all you do. I wish you all sorts of success

[@COOORES]

I feel like KZbin is reading my mind because I was just thinking of making an intro like the one from Loki

[@BenMarriott]

KZbin oversteping the line with the mindreading tbh

[@geyck]

@@BenMarriott Or read my YT comment about using a previous Marriott technique to make this Loki effect.

It's all KZbin Algorithm

[@HeroesReforged]

Amazing tutorial!

I was about to press like button for 3 times, man, thanks for this tutorial!)

[@nickc259]

Honestly, how do you figure out how to do some of these effects? Even if you know the program in and out it seems like one would still need to go through a bunch of trial and error in order to figure out what works and what doesn't, amazing stuff!

[@1polyron1]

@Pavan M Gowda me trice!!

[@HezekiahCrocker]

Years of trying effects, and playing with them helps to figure out how each effect will work. Back in my college days I used to think the same, but after several years of using the program you can almost look at something and predict what effects would most likely get you the desired outcome. :)

[@JohannesSkolaude]

After effect is like a never ending Puzzle Box. But with experience Things Like that come naturaly. To find New workflows can be a fullfilling creative work

[@osiris7945]

@@JohannesSkolaude seems to be an interesting field to jump in.

[@JohannesSkolaude]

@@osiris7945 yes. Check Out the topic of creative coding for an even deeper rabbit hole

[@thinkpixelsblog]

Every time I watch the sequence I’ve often wondered how they made this. I was assuming they just key framed it all but the way you have set it up makes a lot of sense and seems like how they actually did it since it reflects the accuracy of the original with the precise frame swapping. Excellent tutorial!

[@mohamadgamal]

Epic work dude as usual , i really love a little small detail, how you type when you Compare (OUR VERSION) means a lot, and more things you do means you're a beautiful person,thanks and good luck

[@damodarpatel2272]

bro you are truly awesome!!!!

[@jordanknight3248]

Not me thinking they could have just as easily keyframed a bunch of fonts on each letter layer and used wiggle expressions, but when I saw you used fractal noise and displacements as controls ✨chefs kiss✨ Going to be using this all the time now

[@BriskkFX]

This is actually sick

[@ItsRVV]

Awesome tutorial Ben. I feel like that everything in AE is controllable with black and white values, so many effects depend on that. It is awesome if you get the hang of it, it opens an even bigger After Effects libary
