About Six Point Harness

Six Point Harness is a Los Angeles animation studio developing and producing narrative-driven work for television, film, streaming platforms, advertising, and digital audiences. Founded in 2003, it combines traditional hand-drawn animation with digital 2D production and hybrid live-action sequences. Its output ranges from original content and episodic series to theatrical shorts, branded campaigns, music videos, and title sequences.

The studio offers an end-to-end production service, beginning with concept development, script adaptation, character design, visual development, storyboards, and animatics. Production capabilities include hand-drawn animation, digital puppet and cut-out animation, layout, clean-up, and coloring. Compositing and final delivery complete the pipeline, including projects that integrate animated material with live-action footage. This range supports both fully animated productions and individual sequences within larger films or series.

Selected work

Six Point Harness produced animation for Hair Love, the Matthew A. Cherry-directed film that won the 2020 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. Its work also includes character animation and puppetry integration for Waffles + Mochi, animated sequences for The Boys, and the fully animated stand-up special Tig Notaro: Drawn.

Other projects include Lazor Wulf, Apollo Gauntlet, Good Times, Guava Island, and both Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey and Cosmos: Possible Worlds. These productions illustrate the studio's experience across adult comedy, family programming, documentary storytelling, and music-led entertainment. Commercial production adds animated campaigns and brand films to that mix.

Company development

Six Point Harness retained its public identity and Los Angeles studio operations following an all-stock merger with Mondo Media, completed in late 2015 and publicly announced in September 2016. Mondo Media became the surviving corporate parent, with Six Point Harness continuing as its primary film and television production studio.

As of November 2026, reported projects include Greg Franklin's historical animated short The Whistle, animated musical shorts for Yo Gabba Gabba!, Adult Swim's OMG Yes!, a Supreme Death Dealer commercial, and an adaptation of the children's book Survivor Tree.
