My name is Chase Cooper. I am a Creature TD currently working at Industrial Light + Magic.

Since 1993, after viewing the infamous "The Minds Eye" and the T-1000 from Terminator 2, I have been hooked on 3D Animation ever since. Star Wars and Indiana Jones has of course played a huge role in influencing my work, and I am thrilled to be working at the facility that created these masterpieces.

I recieved a B.S. in Digital Media from East Tennessee State University. While in school, I also attended the Renaissance Center, where I took an intensive class in Maya.  This opened the door for me into the world of character rigging for animation.

While having the pleasure to work with some of the most talented visual effects artists currently in the industry, I am always on the lookout for interesting projects and talanted artists to work with and learn from.
