Batman Credits
Designed and animated a cinematic 3D credit sequence for a fan-made short film in collaboration with Ismahawk, reimagining the tone and identity of Batman: Wayne Family Adventures.
Outcome
The final credit sequence added a polished, cinematic finish to the film and demonstrated how 3D motion design can extend narrative tone beyond the core footage. The updated version reflects a maturation in both technical execution and creative restraint.

Challenge
In collaboration with Ismahawk, I developed the title and end credit sequences for a fan-made short film based on the web comic Batman: Wayne Family Adventures. The goal was to create a credit sequence that felt authentic to the Batman universe while still reflecting the lighter, character-driven tone of the source material.
The sequence needed to feel cinematic and grounded (not derivative) and elevate the perceived production value of the film.
Role
I was responsible for:
Concepting multiple opening credit directions
Designing and animating the final 3D end credit sequence
Developing custom sound design
Fabricating realistic credit layouts for authenticity
This project allowed for both conceptual exploration and full execution ownership.
Approach
Rather than relying on graphic overlays, I chose to treat the credit sequence as a fully realized 3D environment. The objective was to create a tactile, atmospheric experience that felt consistent with cinematic superhero storytelling.
I explored multiple creative directions before settling on a visual language that balanced mood, dimensionality, and readability.
Process
Originally produced in 2021 using Octane, the sequence was later revisited and refined using:
Cinema 4D
X-Particles
Redshift
The update allowed for:
Improved lighting realism
More controlled particle behavior
Enhanced material fidelity
Greater compositional depth
I also designed and integrated custom sound design to heighten immersion and reinforce tonal consistency.
The revisiting of the project became an opportunity to elevate both the technical and aesthetic quality of the work, applying lessons learned since the original release.
Reflection
This project served as a creative sandbox for experimentation with tone, environment design, and cinematic pacing. Revisiting and rebuilding it years later reinforced the importance of iteration and technical growth, treating past work not as fixed output, but as an evolving body of craft.
