Pig Apple

Pig Apple is an independent creative production studio based in Brooklyn, New York, working across live-action filmmaking, animation, motion graphics and visual effects. Its work spans television, streaming series, advertising, branded content and original comedy shorts, with an emphasis on character-driven storytelling and humor.

The company was co-founded by Mack Williams, Trevor Williams and Ed Mundy, who met as undergraduate students at the University of Georgia while producing sketch comedy for their dorm’s cable access channel. After developing their individual careers in television, animation and comedy, they reunited in New York and established Pig Apple in 2013 to collaborate on client commissions, commercial campaigns and narrative television.

Production capabilities

The studio offers production from creative development and scriptwriting through directing, animation and post-production. Its animation work includes 2D character animation, character design, rigging, title sequences and promotional motion graphics. Its visual effects capabilities encompass invisible effects, clean-up, compositing, rotoscoping, green screen integration and finishing for episodic productions.

Pig Apple produced and directed animated cartoon sequences for the first season of Baz Luhrmann’s The Get Down and developed character rigging and animation for “Uncle Glock” in The Problem with Jon Stewart. Its television portfolio also includes visual effects or animation contributions to Russian Doll, Sesame Street, Inside Amy Schumer, Emily in Paris and Search Party.

Commercial and original work

Commercial projects include HelloFresh’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 tie-in and Elf anniversary campaign, Jägermeister’s NHL-associated “The Meister Series,” and The UPS Store’s “For All of Your-ings” campaign. The studio also supplied animation and visual effects for the “Meet Gemini” launch video for Google I/O 2025.

Alongside commissioned work, Pig Apple produces original comedy films, including The Jane, Faceblind Love and The Surrealists. Its portfolio also includes The Devious Mind Behind Wordle, produced for The New Yorker.
