Kyle Cooper (born 1962) has created intricate opening designs for over 150 major Hollywood films such as Se7en, Mission Impossible, and Dawn of the Dead, making him the most sought-after film title sequence designer in the industry. He is credited with revitalizing a rather under-appreciated part of filmmaking: conceptually integrating the opening with the film’s overall syntax. Cooper began his career as a creative director at R/Greenberg Associates in New York before co-founding Imaginary Forces in Los Angeles, in 1996. In April 2003, he founded his own company, Prologue Films.
