About Already Been Chewed
Already Been Chewed is a Texas-based creative studio specializing in motion design, high-end 3D animation, visual effects, and commercial art direction. Founded by artist and creative director Barton Damer, the studio combines a multidisciplinary production team with a distinctive visual approach spanning photorealistic CGI, physics-driven simulation, motion graphics, and retro-futuristic design.
The studio develops work from early concept development, style framing, and look development through animation, visual effects, live-action direction, and final delivery. Its production capabilities include Houdini-based procedural simulation, Cinema 4D and Redshift animation, cloth, thread, and fluid effects, motion capture, virtual-production setups, and broadcast motion systems.

More about Already Been Chewed
Studio history and leadership
Barton Damer founded the studio after developing the earlier Already Been Chewed design blog and moving into full-time studio operations in 2010. The company describes its working model as a "studio run by an artist, for artists," with an emphasis on a sustainable, non-burnout environment intended to retain senior creative talent.
Before formally establishing the studio, Damer received Computer Arts Magazine's Digital Artist of the Year recognition in 2009.
Artistic collaboration
For its Re:IMAGINE series, the studio reinterpreted vintage skateboard graphics associated with figures including Tony Hawk and Ray Barbee as cyberpunk 3D sculptures. The project was exhibited at Beeple Studios.
