A new movie coming out next year mixing animation and documentary celebrates his life and times.

The thing these days is that there's a lot more opportunity to do this kind of thing in film (although directors don't always take the opportunity) so title designers tend not to stand out so much the way they did in the Sixties. Balsmeyer & Everett (husband and wife team who now seem to have split) have been more notable for me than Kyle Cooper. They've been around longer and done more, especially for David Cronenberg and the Coen Brothers. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0051157/" rel="nofollow">Randy Balsmeyer</a> is still working as a title designer.

His methodology embraced the modernist tenet of reduction and enforced an acute attention to pace, rhythm and detail. Bass's most remarkable work came through his early collaboration with director Alfred Hitchcock. Bass was a graphic artist and creative consultant for three of Hitchcock's masterpieces: Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959) and Psycho (1960). In each of these movies Bass designed the title sequence creating a smaller film within the entire work. Since Saul Bass's death in 1996, there is only one designer and one key film that can be linked to Bass genious : Kyle Cooper. Saul Bass was the industry’s pioneer.
