Pig Apple supported Netflix's Russian Doll's time-loop storyline with invisible VFX work that never breaks the viewer's immersion. When your show is already playing with reality, the last thing you want is VFX that pulls viewers out of the experience.

In 2016-17, we worked with acclaimed director Baz Luhrmann on his latest project, The Get Down, a Netflix drama about the birth of hip hop in the Bronx. Pig Apple produced and directed all of the cartoon sequences in Season 2.

Working so closely with Baz Luhrmann was a career highlight director Mack Williams. Together they developed a stylized, animated universe featuring many of the live-action characters from the show.

Whether it's animated comedy or serious live-action production, Pig Apple has always been about one thing: making the kind of stuff that we'd want to watch.

We met as college students, producing sketch comedy for our dorm's public-access cable channel. Today, we are Brooklyn-based storytellers with over sixty years of combined experience and a track record of turning challenging briefs into standout content.

Our comedy background wasn't just fun — it was training. Comedy demands perfect timing, clear character motivation, and understanding what keeps audiences engaged. Those same principles drive every Pig Apple production, whether it's a 30-second spot, a complex VFX sequence, or an animated short. We may have grown up a bit, but we haven't grown boring.

Howdy! We're Pig Apple.

Pig Apple's first independent animated short is an adaptation of the long-running, absurdist webcomic Pokey the Penguin.

In the Arctic Circle, we meet Mr. Nutty, an alcoholic snowman whose latest con has backfired spectacularly. With the church and the state hot on his trail, only his good friend Pokey the Penguin has the wits to save him.
