Darksiders Genesis - Menu Background Animation

One of my favorite things to design out are title screens and main menu backgrounds. Even in the earliest stages of developing Darksiders Genesis I roughed out menus and timing using the key art sketch. The end product was animated in Unreal4 and retained most of the elements in the animatics, plus some cooler material effects afforded by the engine.
