Extra Research on the making of opening credit sequence:

Information from an interview : http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/panic-room/

"What technology did you use to make this sequence?
Jeff: Lightwave for 3D, Digital Fusion for compositing and Photoshop for everything else. We also used various in-house software plugins as well."

"The Manhattan cityscape is obviously a hell of a canvas to work with. Did you have to scout locations in advance or did you already have what you needed thanks to storyboards or previz?
William: Since most of the movie takes place inside, in the dead of night, Fincher really wanted to bookend the film with short sequences outside, during the day, to give the movie a touch of lightness and some New York City flavour.
He wanted to clearly set that location, so there was some initial location stuff around, just through the course of scouting the entire film. That’s what we based some of our concept frames on."
"The goal was to present the titles so the viewer accepted them as a part of the landscape, not an additional element to the space." —JEFF BARNES

Picture Mill’s presentation book for the opening of The Panic Room — as it was then called — featuring concept images of modeled 3D typography painted into location stills, examples of typography in New York City, and a map with a proposed path from the south of Manhattan to Central Park.
