Kyle Cooper has directed over 350 of main title and visual effects sequences across a wide range of broadcast media and film. He mainly works on main sequences but he is also a graphic designer and works on adverts & TV title cards.  He received his MFA from Yale School of Art, he independently studied with Paul Rand (American modernist). He has 7 Emmy nominations and two wins. He was born on Friday 13th in 1962. 

I find watching this reel a lot of his work has text that turns into something else or edited so its fly to the front of the screen for example 'Bewitched' arrives through sparkles or the logo of superman shines out colours and travel forwards. The title tend to 'jump' to your attention. A lot of he work is rather fast pace, which keeps me interested in whats to come next. This is rather important because it's the first thing that is saw to keep an audience interested in the film.

Iron Man opening sequence, Kyle was the executive producer. In this sequence it start with a close up shot of Robert Downey JR then the editing comes on filter then transforms into a lot of graphic images of iron man and gun which rather fits the sequence as the title appear every time a new part of the design is shown. Such as there is a gun that part rotates, when the image rotates a new title would appear.
