Creativity On

Command

Formerly Lazers Lab, Microcosm was founded in Providence, RI in 2017 by artist and animator James Poirier. A full-service creative house, Microcosm provides video and digital media services to a wide range of industries, from music to film to finance.

In an overwhelming media landscape, it is easy to become inundated with ideas and content in the pursuit of engagement. We strive to stay up-to-the minute on current trends- however, narrowing our focus on the elements that truly matter to each specific project.

We deliver thoughtful content with intention, and genuine passion for the shared human experience. What can we deliver for you?

Award Winning Animated Content

We have a passion for 2D animation that runs deep. Deeper than Saturday-morning-cartoons deep. We're talking 5am-Weekday-Samurai-Pizza-Cats deep.

In addition to providing 2D motion graphics and frame by frame animation to leading brands, we keep the Saturday Morning Dream alive with our very own series of animated children's programming. We've integrated cutting edge tools to produce animated content at breakneck speed, making it a highly efficient and highly effective way to share messaging.

Jesse Korman

Producer/ Director

"James brings a rare combination of technical expertise and artistic intuition to every project. His ability to craft compelling narratives, seamlessly blend visuals, and enhance storytelling through animation/vfx and editing is truly remarkable. Beyond his skills, James is a fantastic collaborator—always bringing fresh/fun ideas and making me think of things in ways I typically never have. He is not only a TRUE artist, but also a reliable and inspiring presence."

Rich Nardo

Partner, Flux88

I've had the pleasure of working with James on multiple projects over the years, and I'm always blown away by his creativity. His imagination is truly inspiring, and his ability to bring that vision to life is unmatched. I look forward to many more years of collaboration whenever the opportunity arises!
