Worker Studio is an American animation and visual effects company based in Centennial, Colorado, founded in 2009 by Michael "Ffish" Hemschoot. The company has provided visual effects for a number of short films including Angela Bettis' segment E is for Exterminate in the horror anthology film The ABCs of Death.[1] In 2013, the studio began developing an animated adaptation of Phil Hartman's comedy album, Phil Hartman's Flat TV, which was posthumously released in 2002 after he performed and recorded it in 1978.[2][3] The studio is also the production company behind the animated documentary John Ross: American, based on the life of World War II pilot John H. Ross.[4]
Former Disney Artist Barry Kooser joined the studio as a partner and Chief Creative Officer until 2015. Hemschoot and Kooser met while teaching animation at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.[5]
In 2017, the studio released an original animated, stop motion short film, titled Camping a la Bergman, a parody inspired to be an homage to Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, by utilizing black and white cinematography, somber classical music and existential Swedish dialogue.[6] The short appeared at a number of film festivals, including Etiuda&Anima International Film Festival and StopTrik International Film Festival. It was broadcast on Colorado Public Television and streaming on e360TV, a VOD platform.[7][8][9]
