About Element X
Element X is a Dallas-based animation, visual effects and motion design studio founded in 2005 by Chad Briggs. Also known as Element X Creative, it produces commercial animation, broadcast design, interactive content and original animated narrative projects. Its work spans photorealistic CGI, stylized character animation and graphic approaches to moving images.
The studio develops projects from concept development and creative direction through storyboarding, previsualization, animation and digital compositing. Its capabilities include 2D and 3D character animation, typographic motion design and on-set visual effects supervision. These disciplines support national advertising campaigns, broadcast identity packages, product animation and entertainment projects, with visual approaches ranging from realistic objects and creatures to illustrated characters and miniature environments.
Animation and interactive experiences
Alongside commercial and broadcast production, Element X develops augmented reality and virtual reality experiences for brands. Its interactive work includes mobile games, tabletop dining applications and interface motion graphics. This extends its animation and design practice into experiences that audiences can explore or interact with, as well as conventional screen-based storytelling.
The studio serves advertising, entertainment, gaming, retail, consumer goods and corporate communications. Its reported project history includes both commissioned brand work and independently developed animation, reflecting a practice that combines commercial production with narrative experimentation.
Collaborative production
Element X works through an operational alliance with editorial and production company Post Asylum and original music and sound design house Pure Evil Music. The collaboration brings animation and visual effects together with live-action production, editorial, finishing and original score within a shared production environment.
Projects are frequently presented under the joint Post Asylum / Element X banner. Element X remains a distinct operating studio within this collaboration, contributing its animation, motion design and visual effects capabilities while the partners provide complementary production disciplines.
