Corridor Digital LLC is a Los Angeles-based independent production company founded in 2009 by Sam Gorski and Niko Pueringer. The studio focuses on creating viral short videos centered around pop culture and has developed notable works such as the web series Rush, inspired by the Battlefield video game franchise, and the YouTube Premium show Lifeline. Additionally, Corridor Digital produces commercials for clients like Google and Machine Zone.

As of January 2019, the company employed nine full-time team members, including its original founders. By November 2024, their primary YouTube channel had surpassed ten million subscribers and earned multiple Streamy Awards, including the 2017 accolade for "Visual and Special Effects." Their secondary channel, Corridor Crew, features behind-the-scenes footage along with popular series such as VFX Artists React and VFX Artist Reveals, presented by Wren Weichman.

History and notable productions

The partnership between Pueringer and Gorski began during junior high school in Stillwater, Minnesota, where they concentrated on visual effects for student projects. In 2008, they relocated to Los Angeles to further pursue careers in visual effects. By 2010, they produced the fan film "Modern Warfare: Frozen Crossing," based on Modern Warfare, which was shot in Minnesota. Their short-form videos like "The Glitch" and "Minecraft: The Last Minecart" went viral in 2012, leading to appearances in YouTube Rewind videos from 2012 through 2014.

In 2016, they co-wrote, co-directed, and produced the web series Rush, inspired by the Battlefield games.

Boston Dynamics parody videos

In June 2019, Corridor Digital published a viral parody video called "Bosstown Dynamics," depicting a robot resembling those from Boston Dynamics being mistreated before retaliating. Many viewers mistook it for genuine Boston Dynamics footage, significantly increasing Corridor’s exposure. According to Gizmodo, the video underscores technological progress in robotics over the past decade.

The web series Rush, inspired by Battlefield, originally premiered on Go90 in 2016 and was later re-uploaded to Corridor’s YouTube channel in 2019.
