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

[@jasonlim3371]

They definitely knew, they just chose not to use it

Hi mork

[@olivz9146]

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

[@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??"

[@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

[@FosterAizakku]

XDD

[@shahinfarhady401]

@@BenMarriott man I need your help! How can I make a texture base like you did??

[@diegogiovannimusic]

I love this opening sequence! Thanks for this!

[@BenMarriott]

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

[@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

[@COOORES]

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

[@BenMarriott]

RUclips 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.

[@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

[@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)

[@BedsheetGhost_]

this guy makes the best videos.

[@mikiweingarten5877]

Animator: How many fonts do you want for the title sequence?
Marvel: Yes.

[@GEOgraphicdesigner]

The PosterizeTime effect blew my mind!

[@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]

What I like about this tutorial is he also explains the reason behind the action, which really helps when you're a beginner!!

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

[@itsSKR]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I had been searching for a tutorial on this since Loki started airing.

[@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!

[@hlive714]

I was stuck trying to find a way to replicate the vintage affect.
Then I just caved in and searched this. And. Wow.
I'm a person who did this whole thing, frames specially, manually.

[@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

Very Useful Video, Thank you

[@aloonavideoandgames]

This tutorial is great! Thank you.

[@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

[@Bryantfstephens]

That’s was awesome! Again using Apple motion so I would have to do some key framing (unless there is a way I get to have heard of) so I kept it simple. so basically left out the text changing every 3 frames due to key framing. Thanks alot
