	Originally from Scotland, Cooper had been animating a variety of character and story-heavy videogames since 2000, before which he spent his formative years animating sprites and gaining a ~~Bachelor’s~~ Degree in Design & Animation from the University of Dundee (1996 – 2000). Cooper began his animation career in the computer game industry with the aim and ambition of bringing this medium into the public consciousness as the most formidable cultural art-form of the time. Cooper noted that his passion lay not just in individual animations themselves, nor even just within the discipline of animation, but how animators and designers worked cohesively as a team to bring amazing worlds and stories to life.<ref>[http://ca.linkedin.com/in/gameanim Linkedin Bio].</ref>		Originally from Scotland, Cooper had been animating a variety of character and story-heavy videogames since 2000, before which he spent his formative years animating sprites and gaining a Bachelor's Degree in Design & Animation from the University of Dundee (1996 – 2000).
