History
Background (2009–2017)
Co-founder Luke Lerdwichagul started making YouTube videos in 2009. Around 2011, Luke created a web series, SMG4, a Super Mario 64-based machinima YouTube channel. Produced using footage from an emulated version of Super Mario 64, the series originally focused on Mario characters going on adventures that often involve parodies of Internet memes and popular culture.
Around 2016, Luke's brother, Kevin Lerdwichagul, had observed the channel and its wide audience.

Why this record matters
The phrase “australian animation studio” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111951084. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2023, 2009 and 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
