Referrals & Past Clients Only. New Chapter Ahead.

After years of producing board game trailers, Cardboardnaut is now accepting new clients on a referral-only basis, as well as returning past clients. If someone sent you here or you've worked with me before, reach out to levithornton@gmail.com for sample videos, pricing, and our production guide. A huge thank you to every client and collaborator who trusted me with their games — it was an honor and I loved every project.

On the other side of this transition, Cardboardnaut is becoming an original content animation studio. Pixel Beef is our first original product — short-form animated content in a pixelated style, think Looney Tunes chaos meets Seinfeld pettiness and the quick-cut energy of Zach D Films. This is just the beginning, with a lot more in the pipeline. Come along for the ride.

• 🤝
  Animation at the intersection of human creativity and AI — not one replacing the other, but both making something neither could alone. No lazy AI prompt slop.
• ⚡
  Small team, big output. Lean production built around craft, not committees.
• ⚙️
  Custom-built workflows for every video — purpose-made tools, modified pipelines, and software bent to fit the work. Nothing off the shelf.
• 📺
  Storytelling built for how people actually watch now — short, sharp, and designed for the new era of media.
• 🎨
  Fresh animation styles that break the mold — visually distinct, unclassifiable, and built to be remembered.
