The young Ferro expanded his interest in the cinema working as an usher in a 42nd Street theater that screened foreign films. Working with STAN LEE (the future editor of Marvel Comics) as a penciller he produced a series of adventure stories before moving into animation. He trained with Disneys William Tytal and learned well, From the revolutionary split-screen montage of the original The Thomas Crown Affair,to the opening sequence from To Die For and beyond, Ferro put his indelible stamp on the living image and increasing world of title sequence design. Ferro's distinctive hand-drawn opening segments have appeared in films ranging from Stop Making Sense, American Heart, and the Addams Family to Men in Black and gave him that cutting edge individual look.
