Kyle Cooper is an American designer who has producedand directed over 350 visual effects and title sequences. Born in 1962, from a young age Cooper became obsessed with comics, drawing monsters and horror films. Cooper says he has "always been interested in film and editing—more specifically, the juxtaposition of images in film or on a single page". Cooper attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, however he didn't study anything to do with film. Cooper soon moved on to study graphic design at Yale University and earned a Master of Fine Art in 1988. In 1996 Cooper founded Imaginary Forces which went on to become one of the most successful creative agencies in Hollywood. However, in 2003 Cooper left Imaginary Forces and founded Prologue, another creative agency that focuses more heavily on opening title sequences. Cooper has received many awards and was credited in Details magazine with "almost single-handedly revitalizing the main title sequence as an art form". Cooper holds the title of Honorary Royal Designer for Industry from the Royal Society of Arts in London. He has seven Emmy nominations and two wins.
