Kyle Cooper is an American designer who has produced and directed over 350 VFX and main title sequences. On top of this he has also designed many adverts for well known brands and Games. He got a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design at the Yale School of Art. He goes on to co-found the creative Agency Imaginary Forces. He moves on in 2003 to found Prologue films where he still is to this day. In total he has received seven Emmy Awards. The Los Angeles Magazine has called him the "Da Vinci of main titles".
Kyle Cooper has designed many opening title sequences with no real theme between them. This means that they are all different. His title sequences are all works of art and could in fact be short films themselves. From the video above, which is a compilation of shortened down versions of a lot of his work, most of his work is fast pacing and makes the viewer more excited for the film.
I think the opening sequence for X-MEN Apocalypse is a very powerful opening title for the following reasons. The music is very dramatic and has a factor of excitement in it. There are also sound effects every few seconds which helps make the viewer stay concentrated as theirs loads of sounds happening at once. The sequence is just the camera following a long tube with lots of different themes along the way. The fact that theirs different themes and ideas every couple of seconds makes the viewer still engage as if they didn't they would miss some very crucial elements that are linked to the film.
