  4. Everything I do is always moving. …movement emerges organically because he frequently listens to music while he works. “Music helps me edit,” he says. “It helps me cut—my mind just works that way. It works in a tempo, and when I cut, it’s always with rhythms. “

  5. Dr. Strangelove: Hand-drawn titles …? “…Kubrick said he didn’t like them. He didn’t know whether to look at the lettering or at the plane. And I said, ‘You have to do them both at the same time,’ but the only way you can do that is if you make the lettering very big and thin, you know? And there’s a lettering I always did for myself, and I used that to draw the titles and we did the test with the lettering and the images at the same time, and he loved it.”

  6. Norman Jewison’sThe Thomas Crown Affair (1968), popular styles of design in print were his model. “I was very influenced by magazines at that time. I’d look at magazines and see a bunch of pictures on a page, and I thought, ‘That’s beautiful. If I could ever get that into a movie, it would be amazing.’ But it’s impossible. You have a few minutes to look at a page, but in a movie you only have a few seconds to look at something.” Despite his reservations, Ferro began experimenting. “What I did was try to design the images so that your eye would go in a certain direction the whole time. I wasn’t just making multiple pictures, but leading your eye through the pictures.” -By Holly Willis -
