About SHARKBYTE
SHARKBYTE is an independent, creator-led 3D animation studio making original cartoons and digital series for teen and adult audiences. Founded in July 2026, it develops surreal comedy, character-led storytelling, and creator-owned animated entertainment under the public-facing SHARKBYTE TV brand.
The studio is built around a direct-to-audience model: it creates and distributes its work online, releasing content on YouTube without paid-streaming barriers. Its stated approach spans the full path from concept and writing through animation, direction, and distribution, allowing its original projects to remain closely connected to web audiences.
Creative focus
SHARKBYTE’s work centres on weird ideas, playful stories, and stylised 3D cartoon worlds. Its capabilities include:
- Concept development and scriptwriting
- Storyboarding and animatic production
- 3D animation and character modelling
- Original IP and character design
- Narrative development and directing
- Digital-series production and YouTube distribution
Original projects
The studio’s flagship project in development is Bo and Beyond, a surreal, character-driven animated comedy about Bo Blue, an existential carnival mascot navigating dreamlike inner conflicts in search of meaning and escape. SHARKBYTE has also identified Kipon and Robotrix as additional concept titles in development.
For Bo and Beyond, the team has been developing short promotional scripts and animatic trailers for a planned Kickstarter campaign. The project reflects the studio’s interest in independent production, audience-facing web distribution, and animated storytelling that blends comedy with more introspective character themes.
SHARKBYTE operates as a fully remote independent studio, collaborating digitally rather than from a traditional commercial facility. Its production model is designed for online-native animation: creator-led development, freelance creative collaboration, and direct public release through web video platforms.
