Lunchbox Labs is an entertainment studio specializing in Animation, Branded Content, Web3, and IRL Experiences. We believe there is nothing more immersive than a great story. Whatever the format, whatever the platform, we tell great, big stories that audiences will want to live in forever.
ANIMATION
We believe that the future of animation is a place where everyone has the ability to bring their dreams to life. That’s why we utilize state-of-the-art technology including real-time engines, motion capture assets, and volumetric video capture to fully realize the potential of our client’s projects in a marketplace that has never demanded more (or from) animation. Whether it’s features, series, shorts, music videos, or promos, the only limit is imagination.
