NEW WORK! Sometimes you do cat food commercials because, ya know, business. And then there are times where you are meant to work with a certain brand because their products, their ethos, and most importantly, their spokesperson is a punk rock skeleton ranger who loves to show up to stir the pot! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We teamed up with our friends from @good_conductcreative to create this wild spot for the launch of a new product from @newbelgium @voodooranger called Hard Charged Tea. Flesh and Bones Director @aaronjray was at the helm for this one, creating some seriously bulked up Grandmas, elevating the design of the established Voodoo Ranger character, and using some dynamic 2D cel animation to bring it all to life. THIS ISN’T YOUR GRANDMA’S ICED TEA! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Directed by: @aaronjray Produced by: @wearefleshandbones EP: @rtraill ECD: @tonybenna Storyboards: @decodaviola Designers: @aaronjray, @joanchungart, @heymaxvera, @stastr0 Animators: @decodaviola Edit / Comp: @aaronjray Sound Design and Mix: @sanctus.audio VO Talent: @hearbradhyland ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Client: @voodooranger, @newbelgium Agency: @good_conductcreative, @robbielew99, @travisreeb ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #WeAreFleshAndBones #CREATEandDISRUPT #commercial #VoodooRanger #HardChargedTea #HardIcedTea #NewBelgium #handcrafted #animation #illustration #handdrawn #ProductionCompany #directors #HamburgerBones #bigtalentsmallfilms

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

Skillz - "Born To Compete"

In the grand arena of life, humans are wired with an innate drive to compete. Whether it’s striving for personal goals, excelling in our creative endeavors, or pushing the boundaries of our potential, competition fuels our growth. When our friends from mobile gaming company Skillz asked us to create an epic anime inspired manifesto video that highlighted their deep passion for competition, Director Aaron Ray and team picked up their creative weapons of choice and embraced the Spirit of Challenge! The results are out of this world. 🚀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Directed by: Aaron Ray Produced by: Flesh and Bones EP: Rob Traill ECD: Tony Benna Storyboards / Edit: Aaron Ray Design: Aaron Ray 2D Animators: Amy Charlick, Camille Vincent 3D Animator: Zack Citro Sound Design, Mix: Ambrose Yu ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Client: Skillz Copywriter: Tyler Hampton ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #WeAreFleshAndBones #CREATEandDISRUPT #commercial #Skillz #BornToCompete #competition #notAI #handcrafted #mobilegames#gaming #animation #illustration #handdrawn #ProductionCompany #directors #HamburgerBones #bigtalentsmallfilms

NEW WORK! We partnered with mobile gaming company @skillz to create an anthemic “anti AI” ad in response to AI bots corrupting the gaming industry with unfair practices. Directed by @aaronjray, “Victory” is an anime-inspired sci-fi short pitting 2D illustrated characters against 3D modeled robots in an epic battle for fair play. “The thing that excited me most was bringing a physical form to these otherwise invisible enemies.  While players see them as just another human with a similar skillset, at their core, these AI bots can sneak in, overpower, and cheat without the player even knowing it was a bot - something I wanted to represent metaphorically with the visuals and the conceptual narrative,” says Ray. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Directed by: @aaronjray Produced by: @wearefleshandbones EP: @rtraill ECD: @tonybenna Storyboard: @aaronjray Character Design: @joanchungart Background Design: @heymaxvera, @aaronjray Cel Animators: @decodaviola, @camille.cvincent 3D Modeling: @nate_storm_art 3D Animators: @joeyjudkins, @zackcitro Original Music, Sound Design, Mix: @sanctus.audio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Client: @skillz ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #WeAreFleshAndBones #CREATEandDISRUPT #commercial #Skillz #Victory #notAI #handcrafted #humangenerated #gaming #antiAI #animation #illustration #handdrawn #ProductionCompany #directors #HamburgerBones #bigtalentsmallfilms

This lyric video is another one for @outkast for their classic track “Dracula’s Wedding” from the recently acclaimed number one best selling hip hop album of all time “Speakerbo###/The Love Below”! Director⚡️Animator⚡️Illustrator @dumpyastronaut cooked up this ode to pulp and horror comic books to illustrate the blood thirsty visuals for the track.

Damn, damn, damn…🎶 is exactly what we thought when our friends at Sony Music asked us to make an animated video for the classic Outkast track, “SpottieOttieDopaliscious”. The video drop is to celebrate the 25 year anniversary of Outkast’s seminal album “Aquemini”. Directors @okmotionclub, from ATL, were beyond stoked to jump on this one for the hometown heroes. For the video, they designed an oozy barrage of psychedelic illustrations and mixed media collages influenced by Afrofuturism and discothèques like Studio 54 and Atlanta’s own Charles Disco.  Combining these two styles creates a blurred reality as the storyteller tries to recall past memories intertwined with fantasy.
