Creative work that solves business problems.
We're a creative and AI agency. The same team handles all three:
- Films: commercials, brand films and documentary
- Brands: names, logos, color, type and brand systems
- Software & AI: custom apps, dashboards and AI tools
Lightbox is a creative agency in Tyler, Texas. We make the films and campaigns that get a business seen, we build the brand behind them, and we write the software and apps that run things inside.
Get seen.
Campaigns, commercials and brand films. Video is where Lightbox started, and it's still most of what we do. Commercials, brand films and documentary, shot by our own crew and finished in house.
Build the brand.
Identity, positioning and launches. We decide what the company is saying before anyone turns a camera on. Name, marks, color, type and voice, with the files and tokens your team and your developers 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.
Architecture first.
We use AI every day, as a tool. What we sell is the thinking underneath: the structure, the design and the build.
Work
Films next to apps next to brand systems. It's all the same team, and a lot of our clients use more than one.
- Microsoft Copilot: Campaign films, horizontal and vertical
- East Texas State Fair: The fair's own app for visitors and volunteers, and the console the staff run it from
- Klardesk: Name, identity and design system for our own software

- Kaishan Compressor USA: Customer testimonial filmed inside a working foundry
- East Texas State Fair 2025: Campaign spot and stills for the 2025 fair
- The Grove: Brand film for a kitchen and garden venue

We built ours. We'll build yours.
The business behind this site runs on tools we wrote ourselves: Klardesk (contracts, e-signature, payments and production planning), Mia (our AI sales agent) and Filmstrip (searches ten years of footage by what's in the shot).
Who we've worked with
Microsoft, CHRISTUS Health, Southside Bank, The Zebra, Xero Shoes, The Grove, Jucy's Taco, Roberts & Roberts, Pine Cove, Big Star Honda, East Texas State Fair and Matrum.
Every project runs in three steps.
- 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.
There's no account manager in the middle. 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.
