You mean mind splitting right?
Mind cumming
My sister found a really cool deatail, while watching she noticed something. THEIR KEYBOARD DOESN'T HAVE AN ESCAPE KEY
damn thats deep
So cool
It doesn't have a control key either
Waltuh
Woah damn time to go watch it again lol thanks for giving me a reason to watch it again haha like I needed another reason but it helps me lol justify haha 💀💀💀😭
This just won the Emmy award for ''Outstanding Main Title Design''. So well deserved!
Thank you! 🙂
How could it not win?
So well deserved - dont think I'll ever be skipping this intro!
They just don't do openings like these anymore...
i think you mean "Outstanding Optics and Design"
8 episodes in and I’ve still never once skipped this intro. I don’t think I ever will. It’s absolutely mesmerizing. Apart from being great in its own right it’s also such a perfect fit for the tone of this show.
glad you enjoy it!

Exactly; the only show I wouldn't mind sitting out the intro
9 episodes here! And still coming a couple times a week to see this awesome intro again 😄
Agree
love the small detail at 0:14 where his footsteps are in front of him, and disappear as he walks
yeah ;-)
Also at 0:24 the hands on the clock rotate in opposite directions.
Good observation!
@@pedrofayolle That's also when the slight ticking noise in the score starts, every time I watch this intro it gets better
Amazing
This animation is just right amount of liminality, backrooms and surrealism. One of the best intro animations I have seen in years, perfectly compliments the music as well. Good work.

Fantastic intro indeed.
It feels so smooth yet janky at the same time. The art direction for this animation captured the tone of the show perfectly.
Liminality is a term used to describe the psychological process of transitioning across boundaries and borders. You did not know that before i told you that
Liminality - learned a new word, today!
(Liminality: In anthropology, liminality is the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of a rite of passage, when participants no longer hold their pre-ritual status but have not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold when the rite is complete.)
This is really incredible, the way Adam's face always feels just slightly out of visual reach with every scene change feels so perfectly dreamlike. I couldn't even imagine planning a way to capture such an inexplicable feeling, what a talent.
thank you very much!
@@extraweg wow you worked on this intro? If so very well done it’s awesome
@@Edbrad thank you!

Exactly!!
For about one year of my life, i worked about 10-11 hours per day, and commuted for a total of 3 hours per day. When i got home, i usually had enough time for about 1 episode of a show and to make myself a very fast, unsatisfying dinner. So, this show was deeply cathartic to watch.
This is one of the craziest and coolest intros that I’ve seen. The uncomfortable and surreal aspects of it blend perfectly with the creepy piano music in the background. Goes great with the kind of show this is
appreciate your comment!
thanks!
I actually gasped when this title sequence ended the first time I saw it. One of the best I've seen in a long time. It is absolutely brilliant, the visuals are stunning. Amazing work, congratulations !
thaaank you :-)!
Same! I was so fucking wowed that covered my mouth cause it was so fucking brilliant.

yeah, it was arresting .
I actually fell out my chair and tumbled out my window and hit my car, fell through the sunroof car keys fell out my pocket and hit the key ignition and car rolled backward off the drive then I made a sandwich.
One of very very few shows we never hit the "Skip Intro" button for. The show itself is so good that it really doesn't need a title sequence - but what you've made here is so perfectly done that it elevates the whole production. And it works so beautifully with Theodor's wonderful music. Well done, man, well done
thank you so much!
@@extraweg Man...I loved Severance, and your opening scene is epic, an absurd design and attention to details. Love it, thank you with all my heart.💗
This is *by FAR* and *_BAR NONE,_* the BEST intro to ANY television show I've ever seen. It adds more to the show than anything and the show wouldn't be complete without it- what an incredible job, I am astounded every single time I watch it (and I never not-watch it). Huge respect, I can't say more kind things about it.
Edit: *CONGRATS* on winning the Emmy for "Outstanding Main Title Design" _(and the special liquor you got for it-- did you ever end up trying it, by the way?)_ 😅
I also IMMEDIATELY knew it was you as soon as it popped up- way to brand yourself!
Thank you for the kind words!
@@extraweg thank you for making one of the _best_ intro's ever!
It literally gives me goosebumps every single time I watch it; _Especially_ the first time...when all you suddenly see is his CGI stubble, and you're like, "ew. what's wrong with this".
Stunning. 👌🏻
@@extraweg I love it too
My favorites are this, The Expanse, Westworld, Raised by Wolves and Dark intros.
My favorite is Dark's opening. You reaally need to put your really best to the intro of s2, if you want to surpass that. That intro alone is better and has more thoughts than most series today...
@@geritheslayergd6593 haha ! Thank you!
Oh wow you're the actual creator!
Bro, this is a visual and auditory mini masterpiece. The level of care and detail in composition is an absolute tour de force.
Thank you for making one of the greatest tv shows ever made even better.
thank you so much! This comment made me smile!
@@extraweg Bro, not at all, you deserve all this praise and then some. I don't skip this intro. I have ADHD and am extremely impatient, i don't normally mess around with an intro.
But yours is different. It sets the tone. It pulls me in, gets the mind ticking over, it's delightfully devilish and subtle in its effect.
I love it.
Please continue to put yourself and your work out there. The more off the beaten track properties like Severance that dare to be different will suit your content really well, it seems like the music for the intro really gelled with what you were envisioning.
Much love from an avid fan of Severance AND film and cinema.
@@sanjayr this motivates so much! - really. Thank you for stopping by!
@@extraweg Anytime man, good luck and all the best going forward.
thanks!
The first episode gave me like a very good indie game vibe and this intro only assured this feeling for me. It's perfect. I'm loving the show so far
Thank you so much!
You're spot-on with the indie game vibe. Reminds me of Mosaic.
It was partially inspired by the indie game The Stanley Parable
It reminds me of The Sims.
@@WallJumpGames Bingo. The very game I couldn’t help but think that this show was heavily inspired by the surreal, absurdist comedy behind the show.
The symbolism of the footprints in the snow, the innie carving his own way forward and the outie being lead down a path unwittingly, such a great visual. Great intro, it really encapsulates the mystery and themes of the show.
thanks for the words here! appreciate it!
Wow, I never noticed that.
thanks!
Best intro I have ever seen.
I don't even show people trailer for the series when I recommend it- I just show them the intro
When he jumps into head it’s somehow so satisfying, the way the music and visuals compliment each other is godly.
thank you!
many thanks!
I love how the two versions of Mark switch places a few frames and then ultimately become one person. Really says a lot. This intro is amazing
Thanks.
Also notice how the final version of mark is the one in the gray suit which seems like what the one in the red shirt was trying to run from
what does it say?
thanks!
The only title sequence I never skip. This is a masterpiece.
thank you so much!
💯
Yes it is!
thanks!
One of the most interesting intros I’ve seen during the streaming era. Love it.
thank you!
I get goosebumps just thinking about this intro. It’s the best TV intro I’ve ever seen. You did a phenomenal job here.
many thanks!
IT WON! This intro won the Emmy for Best Main Title sequence design!
yeah!
@@extraweg well deserved!!
We did not skip this intro once! It’s absolutely fantastic and fits the show perfectly
Thank you
Thank you!
I skipped it in the first episode or second. (I thought it would be just some generic intro, but goddamn, so good)
I love absolutely everything about this, knowing there will be a season 2 is my reason to live.
The animation really gives me the Sims 2 vibes which I think says a lot about this tiny controlled world the innies experience.
One of the most captivating opening credits I've seen
🤲
I could watch this on loop forever. Just the intro itself makes me excited to watch the next episodes.
Thank you!
This is one of the most unsettling opening title sequences I've seen in a long time. I freaking love it.
Thank you sooo much!
Seriously the way they animate Mark’s body and the movement here is just down right freaky…
@@madtitan0825 haha thanks!
Top Tier opening sequence. I NEVER skip the opening.
thanks man!
many thanks!
The music and visuals are so perfectly aligned that when I saw it when I was watching the TV show I thought to myself this is the greatest intro I've ever seen in my life. Incredible work.
Wow. thank you so much!
Congratulations on the Emmy! Thoroughly deserved.
Thank you soo much!
Im gonna be honest, probably one of my favorite tv intros
Thank you!
I literally watched this intro every episode it was in, and I always skip intros for other shows. It sets the tone so well. Excellent work.
many thanks!
many thanks!
Just from the title sequence I knew this show was going to be awesome
I love how the black paint in the intro is re-enforced as part of the show's mystery. But in Episode 8 it is revealed that it's a red herring. The black paint is just something Irv sees because he paints the hallway at home.
Thank you!
I think it's still relevant as a symbol
Literally the only show I rewind just to watch the intro over and over.
Happy to hear!
such a smart decision to not use the intro in the first episode. when i saw it in the 2nd episode it caught me off guard in a great way. i was like 'oh shit, this intro came out of nowhere, and it's amazing'. cherry on top for a great show
thank you!
many thanks!
Aaaaaahhh! Where's season 2 😫 I CANT TAKE IT ANY LONGER 😭😭😭😭😭
This is how you do an intro and a show
Ben stiller doing an awesome work
yep, he does. many thanks!
@@extraweg cant wait how the s2 opening would look like from you , i hope it’s a new one / variation of this one, awesome stuff !
This intro has convinced me that this is worth watching and I will most likely enjoy it greatly.
much appreciated!
So glad to see the art of Title Sequence isn’t dead. This is a new level of title design for tv shows. Bravo!
many thanks!
Thank you!
I just discovered the show and watched all six available episodes in a row. Absolutely brilliant. This intro is no different from the show, absolutely mind blowing!
Thank you so much!
Only reason I ever skipped this intro is because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next
This is so good I can't even comprehend such talent. The ichiness I felt while watching it for the first time is the same I got from the first episode. The muppet-like Mark fits so well with the weird creepy vibe and portrays the manipulation he's experiencing. The music? So so good. Everything about this is perfect. Instantly one of my favourite intros of all times. Well done!
many thanks!
Stunning, worthy of the music and the show, which is saying a lot. Hard to stop re-watching. Amazing how you handled so many dramatic scale changes while building and maintaining a hauntingly creepy theme clearly based on identity and office work. Great job!
thank you soo much Paul!
this is so gorgeous! my family never skips the intro when we watch, its mesmerising and totally gets you into the shows atmosphere
Much appreciate your comment!
the minute i saw this sequence i recognized your animation style. truly one of the most mesmerizing title sequences i’ve ever seen.
thank you!
Yep me too. I was like it has to be them!
Wow thank you!
@@Syzygyzzz ☺
I started watching this show with my brother and he always skipped the intro, which I didn’t mind. But I finally started a new episode on my own and decided to see what the intro was like - man I was missing out! I love it. The fact that I’m here commenting shows how impressed I am. Well done!
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it
many thanks!
The intro is so mysterious and haunting , I had to get apple tv to see what kind of show it was and frankly I was very impressed.
The show is one of the best shows I've seen in 2022 ..with great acting from legendary actors.
Thank you!
Fittingly trippy intro aside, this music is phenomenally eerie and I love it.
I don't think I've ever liked an intro as much as l like this one, I always come back to this video when I remember
Easily the best opening credits sequence I've seen in years - up there with a few others like Six Feet Under, The Americans, Weeds and The Leftovers in terms of creativity and symbolism.
man thanks!!!
Six feet under is my favorite and next true detective in title design
many thanks!
Here after the Emmy win.
Yeah - Thank you!
Genuinely blown away by seeing what amounts to a CGI meme (floppy humans) incorporated in a real show. Really enjoyed Severance, best thriller drama since Counterpart
Started watching stoned as could be on 420. Felt insane while watching this. Such a fantastic script
This is probably one of the only intros of a show I never skip - I sit so comfortably and intently, every time I watch it I see something new. Thank you for creating something so unique, another puzzle piece to an amazing show!
thanks fot the kind words!
@@extraweg Thank you for your creativity, it’s inspiring!! ☺️✨
Thank you!
Severance is the best show of the year so far.
When I first watch this intro, I thought, wow this is similar style to the disturbing 3D animation I saw a few years ago. Search it up and it is the same artist! Woo 🎉 amazing intro, never skipped it when watching the series ❤❤
✋👋
Bro how did you manage to go from 15 second 3D pink subtly disturbing rubber people gag animations that get posted on late night imgur to one of the greatest title sequences of all time... Incredible work. I cant stop rewatching it
This show was amazing and I wish it continues so much.
There is Season 2 coming, it maybe delayed due to the Writer's Strike.
I keep coming back to this. It's so brilliantly done. You're an incredible artist and I'm so glad you were chosen to do the intro to this amazing show.
Thank you so much 😊
We were just talking about how TV shows don't seem to have openings anymore and this one is absolutely brilliant
I never seen an opening TV serie like this. The music stay in your mind !
The best opening and one of the best serie ever
I have now watched this into for longer than the actual episodes combined. Its an asolutely phenomenal piece of art on its own!
wow! thank you so much!
one of the best intros to a tv series i've EVER seen. never skipped it ONCE. bravo.
Wow thank you!
You in a dark room listening to this. My outie is currently listening. In life we all have innies and outies as you know it.keep coming back for this top work. One more time.
I’m convinced some of the video producers at Apple helped with the editing and storyboarding of this intro.
It feels like a twisted eery version of an iPhone commercial.
Unfortunately not 😅
I love how they stitch in the notes subtly during the episodes all the time. I hear this melody in my head at random times and it makes me think about the series and just generally want more. 10/10 recommended!
!!!
Now i will watch this show
the fact that they put this intro on the second episode instead of the first one, it's just make sense...
yep!
This OST really just sums up the show perfectly. Very little amount of shows can say they do that
Oh my god I love this intro so much. I just finished watching Season 1 and I can't take my eyes off this during each episode. It's fascinating and it's like a dream, summing up the essence of the show while never giving away any details. I love what you've done here.
many thanks 🙂
I never skip the intro, the music is so good. It perfectly matches the tone of the series, so eery and full of mysteries.
This intro and Peacemaker’s intro have been some of the best intros I’ve seen in years.
thanks!
As a corporate drone, this is the most relatable show Ive watched.
Too good to be true. This is HUMAN MANSTERPIECE!
One of the best shows ever made. The soundtrack is legendary too. This show really burrows deep into your mind and doesn't let go! PS. Of course the intro is EPIC as well, extremely well made and very unique, fits the show really well!!!
much appreciated!
Coming back to this after the Corridor Crew did a VFX artist react. Still mindblowing to this day.
One of the rare title sequences I never skip.
many thanks!
contenders for one of the most intriguing intros honestly
Never skipped the intro.
This is so awesome! Never literally never skipped the intro every single episode for how much I loved this opening sequence! Deserves way more attention, love the style.
many thanks!
I KNEW you made this as soon as I saw it, it triggered a memory of your work from years ago when he was carrying the balloons of himself. Incredible.
Yeah!
Just started Severance and when I mean I got literal goosebumps from this intro!! I had to look it up because of how amazing it was! Masterpiece hands down
I'm late to this show, but man... It's just so amazing, and I rarely watch tv as it is!
This show was something else, did not skip this opening once. The song, the visuals, perfect. This has gotta be the best opening of any non anime I've ever seen. Most western TV openings are pretty crap, this however is fantastic.
cheers, dude! when the show first cut to it, i said out loud: “funny how this is the best thing i've ever seen in my life!”. great work.
I'm so glad this is the intro to Severance. I really hope they recast you to do the intro again for Season 2, or at least as a collaborator. 10/10 , no-skip-intro gang
many thanks!
Everything about this show is on another level , a level I love to live in . The music is outstandingly atmospheric.
I love the sheer absurdity of this intro, really captures the show's feeling well
Thanks!
Probably my favorite intro sequence to any show other than Succession and Westworld. Fucking mesmerizing animation.
many thanks!
I usually skip intros after seeing them once. But this one I always watch trough. The visuals are so compelling and the score is absolutely beautiful.
many thanks!
Reminds me of Amiga/Atari demos back in the day. I usually pretty reliably skip the opening credits for shows after seeing it the first time, but I watched this one all 9 times and then some. It's excellent.
Thanks!
Everybody is talking about the visuals but man that song just fits the vibe of the show so perfect
Yeah!
Amazing, if I knew nothing about the show and only watched this, i'd be like "I need to watch this show, it's gotta be good."
Congrats! main title design Emmy winning 👏 🙌
Thank you!
Heck yeas!!! The Series is getting more popular around the world, I haven't watched yet but I'm thrilled to find out about my favorite artists involvement🤯
😎
INSANE
Literally going to watch this show just because of the intro. I've watched it three times over in succession and I don't even know what the show is about, but I'm starting it tonight.
it's definitely worth watching! Thank you!
Beautiful and thoughtful work Extraweg. Congratulations ❤️
Thx David !
