On the contrary, the WATCHMEN credits sequence is pure Zack (aside from the titles text itself... that was done by an FX company... Maybe that's what you heard Levin referring to?). Zack wrote and shot every image in that sequence (with the exception of the Hiroshima shot, which was all CG). He even filmed the"news" footage of a burning Vietcong seen on the black & white TV.
Edited to add: He even filmed a cool gag that he ultimately cut out of that sequence: The Comedian raising the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima BY HIMSELF. I guess he figured that might piss off one too many people.
Yeah I read about the cut elements. I adored the title sequence, I know Snyder conceptualised (as a way to get the movie going) it but I thought a company like Imaginary Forces actually created it? I need to check, will ask Lloyd.
I must admit I don't remember but I do recall seeing a making of reel. Regardless it's superb.
