The Dark Knight - Chance
This is a clip from the climax of The Dark Knight, when Two-Face is talking to Batman and Gordon. I’ve wanted to recreate something from TDK for a while, and this scene seemed like a good one, given that there isn’t much of a set and it has Two-Face.
Update: Here is a making-of article about the clip.

Love it, absolutely love it. Excellent work, very good animation & effects.

w00t, love it. Yet, despite having watched the movie more times than I have Star Wars, I can't remember if those shots match shot for shot.
I think the general editing layout is matched, though the digital camera wiggle might have been a bit overdone.
Other than that, fantastic stuff. How'd you manage to get the burnt half of Two-Face's face to match up with the fig head?
Ya, I pretty much have no idea how you did 80% of what I just saw but it looked dang good 
As a huge The Dark Knight-fan, I absolutely loved it. You captured the style and the colours very well, the animation was extremely smooth and the mouth animations were great as well. Stunning work, man!
EDIT: Oh, and I would love to see some making-of stuff on this. Any chance?

Animation and lighting are great, nice job.
I would love to second the motion of a "making-of" film.
Well done, Nick. Nice montage clip.

Damn, I can't see this very smoothly at all on my computer, when I get to another computer that can handle HD I'll watch it again. From what I can see I love how you lit the shot, though I think we should have been able to see Batman a bit better, and have him not so in the shadows. Great FX!
Just compared it to the actual Dark Knight scene and it is very good, matching shot for shot.
And I believe the scarred face was a darkening mask (because I can see some flickering near the top stud of the head).
Thanks for the feedback everyone. 
You would be correct in that assessment, Lech. I put a mask on an adjustment layer, then painfully matched it to his head movement in every frame. Fortunately this made moving the face quite easy, since there was a line I could use to position it.
I'm currently working on some making-of stuff, though it could be some time before it's out since I'm redesigning my site.
Nice. The facial animation was quite impressive, this was very dark but I can't remember if the real thing had more detail in the shadows or not.
This is my favorite scene from the Dark Knight. Great job. The mouth animation and effects were pulled off really well.The set seemed a bit too dark. I couldn't really see much. And the animation was very impressive. Well done.
i'm just impressed by the quality of facial animation. It looks like sth done with computer, but does perfectly fits the head movements. I just wonder how you did that. It's very impressive.
I watched this scene last night,and you recreated it perfectly!
That was good. Not that im being picky, but dents hair couldve been wavey instead of long.
I've written a short article about the making of the clip, which should hopefully answer all the questions I've been getting.

Nice, those kinds of articles are fun to read. The thought of cutting a LEGO piece in half is discomforting but then I did paint probably a hundred pieces or more for my current project.
