The first minute of a movie is a promise…

We’re incredibly proud to have produced the opening title sequence for Andre is an Idiot, now playing in theaters nationwide.

Designed and directed by the wildly talented Aaron Ray, the sequence sets the tone before the story even begins — bold, weird, and unapologetically itself.

Catch the film on the big screen and let us know what you think of the titles 👀

Big news to start off 2026…
Director ’s debut feature film, “Andre is an Idiot”, is getting a theatrical release and the official trailer is now live! See it in theaters starting March 6th. Opening night in NYC

Flesh and Bones is proud to have produced all animation for the film, including the rad stop-motion sequences and killer opening title sequence, designed and directed by .

“’André Is an Idiot’ isn’t about cancer, it’s about André. He was honest, fearless, wildly creative, and laugh-out-loud funny, even when things were at their hardest. This film embraces the messiness of being alive, finding humor in the dark, and choosing joy anyway. While there are moments that sting, I hope audiences remember André the way we do: as a lovable, hilarious idiot who refused to let the darkness win.” -Tony Benna

NEW WORK! Warm, fuzzy, and just in time for the holidays. Directed by , the new music video for Willie Nelson’s holiday track, “Christmas Love Song”, is a visual love letter that unfolds through a series of intimate, collage-based illustrations that blend photography with hand-drawn details. Using 2D and 3D animation to bring it all to life, the overall effect perfectly complements the sincerity of the song.

JUST DROPPED! directed the official video for new track “Pleasant Obstacle” from their new EP ‘Craving and Aversion’ on . (*Available to pre-order this week!)

“A little post-punk, a little mid-’90s Dischord, maybe even a pinch of Bauhaus or Joy Division - Vulture Feather have been one of my favorites since first hearing them a few years ago. Creatively, there is actually a hidden concept here — a metaphor visualized through the tension between natural environments and urban chaos. I wanted the idea to remain abstract, built more on tone and texture than plot, leaning into manipulated imagery, graphic layouts, animated intrusions, and rhythmic editing to mirror the song’s tension and emotion.” - Aaron Ray, Director

NEW WORK! Okay, not gonna lie, we’re geeking out over this one. Our friends at Sony Music Entertainment came to us with another hero worship project - a music video to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Modest Mouse breakthrough album, ‘Good News For People Who Love Bad News’. The classic track, “Bury Me With It”, got a fresh remix by Jacknife Lee, and the band was excited to do something fresh and quirky for the video.

Enter Flesh and Bones director Aaron Ray, who also happens to be a Modest Mouse fan(atic). Ray cooked up this absolute banger, complete with 1980’s era footage painted over and animated frame by frame. To add the cherry on top, he had Isaac Brook film himself singing along to the track. All. Minds. Blown.
