Creative work that solves business problems.
We're a creative and AI agency. The same team handles all three:
- Film: commercials, brand films and documentary
- Brand: names, logos, color, type and brand systems
- Software & AI: custom apps, dashboards and AI tools
Since 2016 we've made commercials and brand films for Microsoft, CHRISTUS Health, Southside Bank and the East Texas State Fair. We also design brands and build the apps and AI tools a business runs on.
Get seen.
Campaigns, commercials and brand films. Video is where Lightbox started, and it's still most of what we do. Our own crew shoots, and we edit and color here in Tyler.
Build the brand.
Logos, positioning and launches. We work out what the company is saying before anyone turns on a camera. Name, logo, color, type and voice, delivered as files your team and your web developer can use.
Software built around your business.
Custom apps, internal tools and AI, made to fit how your business already runs. You own the code.
Plan first, then build.
Every app starts as a wireframe, then a design, then the build.

How a project runs
- Talk: tell us what you want to make or change.
- Plan: you get a written plan and one fixed price before any work starts.
- Make and deliver: the same team shoots, designs and builds it, and you own everything we make.
You work with the owners
The people on your first call are the people directing the shoot and building the software: Shadai Perez (co-owner, director) and Samuel Richmann (co-owner).
Tell us what you're working on.
