In business for ten years, some of their most notable productions have included Tom Hanks' Electric City,[2] Fox's Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, MTV's Good Vibes, Nick Jr.'s Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Nickelodeon's El Tigre, the animated feature The BABY SHARK Movie, and the web series Dick Figures for the YouTube channel Mondo Media.[2][3] 6PH also released Dick Figures: The Movie, an in-house production developed from the company's web series.[4]
6 Point Harness uses employees and collaborators nationwide.[5] 6PH's founder, Brendan Burch, has noted in an online interview that "Six Point's focus is top quality cartoons... We take pride in the bar of quality we set on every project".[6] As a vital animation production resource to most of the major studios and networks in LA, Six Point Harness studio's team animates pilots, promos, TV and webisodes, along with many other animation projects. 6PH also teamed up with Titmouse, Inc.[7][8] to develop and distribute original animated content on the YouTube channel Rug Burn.[9]
== History ==
Founder Brendan Burch formed the studio in May 2001 based out of Hollywood, CA. 6PH describes how they got started in their own words, noting that "we were producing an early Flash animated feature and realized that the production pipeline we were developing was more efficient than many larger studios had at the time. We took the crew we were using, put together a reel, started a corporation, and got into as many meetings as possible to get the ball rolling".[10]
In 2011 John Andrews came on board with the company to form Six Point Media, the commercial branch of the studio.[11][12]
In 2013 the studio had two nominations for "Best Animated Web Series" for Dick Figures and Electric City at the Streamy Awards, with Electric City bringing the studio its first Streamy Award.[13] That same year Dick Figures received an Annie Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement, Directing in an Animated Television or other Broadcast Venue Production.[14]
Through Kickstarter, 6 Point Harness and Ed Skudder/Zack Keller raised $313,411 to produce a feature-length episode of Dick Figures.[15][16]
Most recently, 6 Point Harness has teamed up with Titmouse, Inc. to develop and distribute original animated content on the YouTube channel Rug Burn.[17]
