History and prominent projects

[edit]
Niko Pueringer, co-founder of Corridor Digital

Pueringer and Gorski began working together in junior high school in Stillwater, Minnesota, making student films with an emphasis on visual effects.[7] In 2008 they moved to Los Angeles, where they focused on visual effects for other projects. In 2010, they released a Modern Warfare fan film, "Modern Warfare: Frozen Crossing", filmed in Minnesota, like many of their early projects.[8] In subsequent years, Pueringer and Gorski began creating more short-form content. In 2012, they created the viral hits "The Glitch" and "Minecraft: The Last Minecart".[9][5]

In 2016, they co-wrote, co-directed, and produced the Battlefield-inspired web series Rush.[10]

Lifeline

[edit]

In 2017, Corridor produced and directed the YouTube Red series Lifeline, which was executive produced by Dwayne Johnson and a collaboration with his Seven Bucks Productions.[3] The show was an American science fiction drama web television series broadcast on the YouTube Red network.[11]

Top 10 Games You Can Play in Your Head, By Yourself

[edit]

In 2019, the company published a book, Top 10 Games You Can Play in Your Head, By Yourself, released on Amazon and publicized with a commercial on its YouTube channel. The book is a collaboration between Gorski and author D. F. Lovett.[12]

Boston Dynamics parody video

[edit]

In June 2019, Corridor released a video in which a robot in the style of Boston Dynamics is abused in a variety of ways before finally fighting back against the humans attacking it. The video, watermarked "Bosstown Dynamics" instead of "Boston Dynamics", went viral across platforms, although most versions dropped attribution to the original source, with many claiming it to be an authentic Boston Dynamics video.[13] Gizmodo wrote that the "real lesson from Corridor's fake robot video might be just how far [robot technology has] come in real life over the past decade".[14]
