Sherlock, Opening Sequence

Sherlock, Opening Theme.

Sherlock is one of the biggest TV series in Europe and in the USA and has won a numerous amount of BAFTA'S and Critic's Television Choice Awards.

I wanted to see how the opening credits were created.

According to websites "Quora" and Wikipedia" the opening credits of Sherlock with shots of London were actually a miniature version of London, and to help it look like a real version of London a technique called Tilt-Shift Photography is used."It can be done with a camera that is capable of tilting and shifting, or even in post production by using digital image processing tools like Photoshop"

You can also see that a range of shots from the episodes were taken from the series and overlapped in certain sections, to create a montage opening sequence. Effects like this can be done in After Effects and also editing software like Premiere Pro and Avid.
