8	-->-- The studio's [=YouTube=] channel description
9
10	'''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn_FAXem2-e3HQvmK-mOH4g Glitch Productions]]''' is an Australia-based independent animation studio specializing in animated web shows.
11
12	Glitch was originally founded as Glitchy Boy in 2017 by brothers Kevin and Luke "[=Supermarioglitchy4=]" Lerdwichagul, best known as the team behind ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'', to represent their channels as a company. However, Glitchy Boy would truly pick up speed in 2018, when it got renamed to Glitch, launching a new [=SMG4=] merch line and their own original shows, starting with the short-lived martial arts showcase ''Hitbox'', followed by the announcement of a full 3D-animated series: ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner'', which launched the following year on the [=SMG4=] channel to much success.
13
14	Glitch moved up further into prominence in August 2020, when they launched a new standalone channel separate from the main [=SMG4=] channel, not only becoming the new home for ''Meta Runner'', but other future shows.
15
16	On November 9, 2023, Glitch hosted the first [=GlitchX=] event on Platform/YouTube, a livestream spotlighting the indie WebAnimation community, featuring creators and voice actors from ''WebAnimation/MurderDrones'', ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus'', ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'', ''WebAnimation/SpookyMonth'' and ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'', before ending with the announcement of their latest show, ''WebAnimation/TheGaslightDistrict''.

44	!!Glitch Productions' works provide examples of:
45	* DoingItForTheArt: They have stated on multiple accounts, especially in their "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHBOMgh8RIk A New Era]]" video, that it costs up to $300,000 dollars just to produce a single episode of ''Murder Drones'' (as one example), using [=YouTube=] revenue, merchandise sales and grants to keep their business afloat. The reason they keep at it is because they're just that passionate to improve their craft and create new content free of charge. The wave of numerous shows getting [[ScrewedByTheNetwork cancelled by cable networks and streaming services]] in 2022 (''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'', to name a few) also fueled them to raise support for indie animations and offer new opportunities with other creators.
