ShawtyHullstineFilms was founded in 2008 between two friends. The name "ShawtyHullstineFilms" comes from their nicknames. They released a few videos, but they were later deleted. After one of the friends, now known as farmer scott21, was inspired by Pivot animation, he assumed full control of ShawtyHullstineFilms and created the "Stickman Steve" series. This series was disliked by the creator and was recently deleted off of ShawtyHullstineFilms' YouTube channel.
