Kyle Cooper - 'Twister' title sequence


This film is quite old, is one of Cooper's older title sequences made back in 1996. I chose this sequence to analyse because Cooper designed it with RGA (the original company he started off at).

Cooper’s design for this title sequence creates a very visual, moving, chunky, three-dimensional look for 'Twister' which exploits it's mid-nineties CGI to manipulate the letters as they materialize in the eye of the storm, disappearing all at once from the screen, in a dark’n’stormy flourish of meteorological drama. This piece of work truly shows elements of Cooper's work as he does like to peal away things for the screen make the move and twist and collapse.

I think the title sequence is really effective; it gives an iscolated feel with the colours and the idea that the letters are being pulled apart as if in a storm. I think it gives the opening a clear insight and also helps set up the film really well.

For a title sequence being made, going back 8 years... I think it was really cleverly done and it really does showcase some of Cooper's talents.
