There is a range of different opening sequences out there in the big pile of movies and therefore there is also a lot of people working with creating just title sequences. I’m going to tell you about two famous title sequence creators that have had a big impact on media.
The first guy is named Kyle Cooper and is a modern designer and has done so many famous opening scenes, commercial clips and so on. This guy is amazing and really focus on the fact that it always action happening and in the end everything is often linked together. Kyle Cooper now has his own company called “prologue” which he started around 2003. The list above is just some of the famous works he have done
