Pablo Ferro is a graphic designer and film titles designer. He is best known for his quick-cut editing and using multiple images within one frame, helping to create a an influential visual style which has enriched film, animation and commercials. He has worked with high-tech and optical techniques. His trademark hand-drawn lettering is another technique, one which had an obvious influence on Kyle Cooper. He has an innovative way of making collages and using abstract oimagery to consistently challenge the medium, whilst also altering perceptions of how information is received by viewers.
His technalogically inventive visual presentations include the Singer Pavilion's film at the 1964 New York World's fair. This was the first time film projecters were used to create multiple-screen images.
He has also created memorable trailers for films such as A Clockwork Orange.
His most famous work is probably the opening sequence to Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangleove and the revolutionary split-screen montage of the original "Thomas Crown Affair."

I had not heard of Pablo Ferro before this project but can see where he has directly influenced Kyle Cooper. I like his innovative ways and how ahead of their time they were when they were made.
