Third Wall Studio
Third Wall Studio is the animation studio I founded in May 2025. It makes animation with filmmakers and artists, mixing live action, animation and generative AI in the same production, and it builds Burlap, the app the films are made in. It is at thirdwallstudio.com.
The first films came out in 2026: shorts with Doron Lev, Jacob McCoy, Savas and Jonathan Arons, and Through the Brambles, a VR story built entirely inside Burlap.
What the studio says
The homepage carries two lines. We make animations with filmmakers and artists.
We build new tech for ancient magic.
The pitch to collaborators is longer. You have a story. We have the studio. Third Wall works with writers, animators, directors, and visual artists who want to push into new territory, where live action, animation, and generative AI collapse into something that didn’t exist before. You bring the vision. Projects are co-produced, credit is shared, and the work stays yours.
What the studio offers is access to generative AI tools and production pipelines, creative direction and mentorship, co-production with shared credit and shared risk, and a studio environment to develop work that doesn’t fit anywhere else yet.
On this site I put it this way. We mix live action, animation, and generative AI in the same production, not as a gimmick, but as part of the craft.
And: Writers, animators, directors, and visual artists bring their own worlds. Burlap is the canvas underneath it all.

Dark Arts, teaser. August 2026.
Kubler-Ross Model, with Savas. 3:55. Built from his own concept art. On Vimeo since April 2026; an excerpt went out on YouTube in August 2026.
The Trinary Matrix, with Jonathan Arons. 14:15. He animated his own book scene by scene in Burlap; the studio finished it in post. On Vimeo since April 2026.
Through the Brambles, directed by Jacob McCoy, is a VR story built entirely inside Burlap. Every scene began as a prompted 360° image, then became part of a single journey for headset playback. Gemini made the stills, Veo brought them to life, ElevenLabs handled narration, and Resolve held the edit and ambisonic mix. It is also at thirdwallstudio.com/through-the-brambles.
