With a new Doctor comes a new title sequence, but the latest incarnation is special in that the inspiration came from a fan made clip, posted on YouTube.
Billy Hanshaw is a motion graphics professional based in Leeds, mostly working on tv commercials and corporate presentations. However as an exercise he created a mock version of a new title sequence for the new Doctor, Peter Capaldi and posted it on his YouTube channel where it has recieved over 700,000 hits.
The sequence came to the attention of Doctor Who's show-runner Steven Moffat, who described it as absolutely stunning and commissioned Hanshaw to work with BBC Wales to create the new titles for the new series. Speaking in New York Moffat said
Hanshaw created this title sequence, put it up on YouTube. I happened to cross it, and it was the only new title idea I’d seen since 1963. We got in touch with him, and said, okay, we’re going to do that one.
The new title sequence will be revealed to the world on August 23rd. However the initial concept clip, which grabbed the attention of the production team, is still available to view on YouTube.

Questions:
When Clara and the Doctor were bound on the red sofa and he was trying to pass her the sonic screwdriver. Did the Doctor say something to the effect,
"It's times like this I wish Amy was here"?
Something to that effect, yes. It was said quite quietly, much like some other lines in the episode. I hope the production team hasn't caught 'Jamaica Inn-itis': http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27116881
Also,
Did the Doctor not say he had a Scottish voice or was Scottish? Amy was Scottish. Was there some hidden meaning to this?
He refers to having gained a Scottish accent and being Scottish allowing him to complain. It's inclusion isn't hidden meaning, it's to allow Capaldi to use his native accent and provide some kind of basis within the character for doing so, bearing in mind that David Tennant took an English accent for the character despite being Scottish. I didn't hear any reference in the episode regarding Amy being Scottish. I think more reasoning for the accent, plus why he's regenerated to quite an old 'face' will come out in later episodes.
As for me, while I found the story less clear than I would normally like, the pacing and ambiguity kind of worked for me. In the past Moffat's stories have tended to be too frenetically filmed with too much action and not enough characterization, so I'm hoping he might be gaining a more tempered approach to reveals and pacing.
