6 Point Harness

6 Point Harness is an American animation studio and production label of Mondo Media based in Los Angeles. It develops and produces animated television programming, feature films, commercial, music videos and web-based content. Founded by Brendan Burch in 2003, some of the studio's most notable productions include Tom Hanks' Electric City,[1] Fox's Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, MTV's Good Vibes, Nick Jr.'s Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Nickelodeon's El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, Adult Swim's Apollo Gauntlet and Lazor Wulf, the animated feature The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!, and the web series Dick Figures for the YouTube channel Mondo Media.[2] 6PH also released Dick Figures: The Movie, an in-house production developed from the company's web series.[3]
On September 19, 2016, it was announced that 6 Point Harness merged with Mondo Media, with Mondo being the surviving entity. Despite ceasing to be a distinct legal operation, it remains the primary production and distribution arm for Mondo's filmed and televised output.[4] Burch is currently CEO of the merged company, replacing Mondo's John Evershed.[5]
== History[edit] ==
Brendan Burch founded the studio in June 2003. In 2010, 6 Point Harness approached Mondo Media with a pitch for Dick Figures and arranged a partnership for the series; 6 Point Harness provided the financing and production while distribution was provided by Mondo Media.[6]
In 2011, John Andrews came on board with the company to form 6 Point Media, the commercial branch of the studio.[7][8] Six Point Harness and Titmouse, Inc. launched Rug Burn, a YouTube channel for animation, in 2012.[9] Six Point Harness raised $313,411 through KickStarter to produce a feature-length episode of Dick Figures in 2012.[10][11]
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.[12] That same year Dick Figures received an Annie Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement, Directing in an Animated Television or other Broadcast Venue Production.[13]
Outside of web series, the studio is most notable for providing the animation for the 2020 Oscar winning animated short Hair Love and producing animated sequences for Black-ish.[14][15]
