Ed Mundy is a director and animator living in Brooklyn. He’s directed videos for the likes of Upright Citizens Brigade, Nerdist, and IFC, and created visual effects and animation for shows like Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Archer, and (to appeal to as many demos as possible) Sesame Street. He was a member of UCB Comedy's web video sketch teams since 2009, which, I’m pretty sure, was before web videos had been invented.

Looking for commercial production, VFX, or animation? No matter your budget, Pig Apple delivers production value and storytelling that makes an impact – and might even make you laugh.
Ed, Trevor, and Mack started making sketch comedy in college. Today, we're Brooklyn storytellers with sixty years of experience turning challenging briefs into standout content.
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.
Pig Apple executed all of the production and VFX for this broadcast spot; a partnership between Hello Fresh and Marvel to promote the theatrical release of Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3.
