He then went onto to in 1996 co found the creative agency Imaginary Forces which came out of the west coast devision of R/GA. "We have spent a long time building and refining a brilliant creative and production team ... Keeping this group together as our own company is truly exciting," This is a comment made my kyle cooper himself on the name change. In 2003 he then decided it was time to leave imaginary forces, he decided to leave the job because he was to involved in the business side of the company rather than focussing on his main love of the title sequence so he left so that he could focus on his creative work, later that year he went on to found the company Prologue, initially located in Malibu, then moved to offices in Venice Beach, Los Angeles in 2008.
