Augenblick Studios is an independent animation studio founded in 1999 by Aaron Augenblick, and located in Brooklyn, New York City. The company has created a wide array of animated shorts for television, film, and the Internet. Their clients include Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Adult Swim, the TED conference, PBS, MTV, and Nickelodeon. The studio is responsible for much of the animated content on MTV2's Wonder Showzen.
Aaron Augenblick studied animation at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. After graduating in 1997, Augenblick worked at MTV Animation on shows such as "Daria", "Downtown", and "Cartoon Sushi".
In 1999, Augenblick opened Augenblick Studios in the Dumbo section of Brooklyn. The first cartoon produced at Augenblick Studios was "Ramblin' Man", an independent short film based on the Hank Williams song. Ramblin' Man was released to critical acclaim and was a 2001 SXSW award winner. Several other independent shorts followed, including Drunky (2001) and Plugs McGinniss (2003).
The first television production from Augenblick Studios was Shorties Watchin' Shorties on Comedy Central in 2001. The show featured animated interpretations of stand up comedy segments from comedians including Denis Leary, Patton Oswalt, Louis C.K., Dane Cook, and Mitch Hedberg. In 2004, Augenblick Studios produced the animated content for two seasons of Wonder Showzen on MTV2. Augenblick created short segments, motion graphics, and illustrations for the show.
