Crafty Apes played a significant role in the visual effects for the series "I'm a Virgo," created by Boots Riley. The work involved creating a 13-foot-tall protagonist named Cootie. The VFX supervision was led by Aleksandra Sienkiewicz from Crafty Apes, with Todd Sheridan Perry serving as the overall VFX supervisor.

The effects required a blend of in-camera techniques, forced perspective, and digital enhancements. For example, to portray Cootie's massive size, the team used scale puppets and composited real actors into miniature sets. This method involved intricate compositing to ensure that Cootie's interactions with his environment and other characters appeared seamless and realistic. Scenes often used puppets with photoreal skin textures and mechanical elements to simulate lifelike movements.
