BUCK is a global creative company that brings brands, stories, and experiences to life through art, design, and technology.

Brawl Stars wanted a holiday film — something that echoed the cherished holiday specials of yore but with a devilish, sharp-elbowed, Brawler twist. We delivered this lil tussle to them in the St. Nick of time and it’s racked up over ten million views on Youtube already. Ho ho ho.

The New Yorker, our favorite cornerstone of highbrow culture, came back to us for a second year in a row to create the illustrated branding system for their annual festival. This included an anthem film to kickoff the event as well as a graphics package used during the livestream. 

This time around, as Covid restrictions were loosening and we were timidly emerging  from our cocoons, they wanted to strike a celebratory tone that spoke to the (centennial anniversary) spirit of the Roaring 20s. Break out the bathtub gin!

In 2021, Industry City invited BUCK to contribute to its mural arts program. We were eager to jump in and fill the void that a year without museums and galleries had left behind—and the result was this spiraling, multi-disciplinary AR mural.

We the People “Active Citizenship” nominated for two Annie Awards

Cartoon Network wanted something that would stand out in the crowded kid’s TV show space. 

So we pitched a scene with a 60ft Metal Demon Lord and another where the main character gets covered in poo. We expected a lot of pushback, but Cartoon Network loved it. Then they asked for “more poo.”

Joining forces with our friends at TBWA/Neboko and bringing great design and emotional storytelling to the fun superhero action of the McNificents campaign, we put a BUCK spin on classic tropes for a great cause: The Ronald McDonald Children’s Fund.

GS&P came to us to make some sensational short films that capture the breadth of flavors and experience of drinking a Truly Hard Seltzer. 

We wanted to give this a visceral feel and communicate through a fun, visual language the refreshing, joyful vibes associated with Truly Hard Seltzer.

Whip out your phone and channel your inner Deadmau5 with this musical AR toy. 

(If it helps, you can do that thing where you pretend to have one headphone on your ear while you stare intently at an imaginary turntable.)

This project is an interesting case study in adaptability. Amazon initially came to us to help make auxiliary videos to help support a live action product launch for their new Halo device. But then the pandemic hit and live action was suddenly off the table — Amazon was left in the lurch. If only they knew a full-service animation studio who could still deliver the goods...

In an effort to expand the narrative around Pride and push back on well-trod stereotypes, a range of LGBTQ2IA+ voices at BUCK partnered to create “Give Us Our Flowers: A Global Archive of Queer POC Rebels.”

BUCK is a creative company that makes art, design and technology with you and for you.

Made in collaboration with the Obamas, Peter Ramsey, H.E.R and Netflix, “Active Citizenship” is the first episode in a Schoolhouse Rock-inspired musical anthology series from Chris Nee and Kenya Barris entitled We The People that aims to give a civics crash course to a nation that thinks the filibuster is a topping at Cinnabon. 

Made in collaboration with Spotify’s in-house creative team to concoct a series of fifteen stills and animated images to celebrate the panoply of musical genres you find on their platform. 

This is a brand film for Square. But ultimately, it is a love letter to one of the most beloved and hardest hit industries of the last year: the service industry. 

Nike wanted to reach out to casual and aspiring runners for the launch of the Nike Winflo 8 shoe so we created a fun “How to Run” manual  to encourage people to get up and get out to find their inner runner. 

As Microsoft is pivoting to industrial applications for its Hololens AR technology, they wanted to demonstrate their technological capabilities in a series of case studies. We came on board to transform what could have been dry explainer videos into some visually-exciting eye candy. 

Sometimes it’s the smallest victories that make the biggest difference.  

From script to render, BUCK crafted six charming short films for Mailchimp Presents, an entertainment platform celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit.

Facebook Messenger asked us to create a 360 degree background and corresponding AR effect to promote mental health awareness for World Mental Health Day with the modest, yet crucial goal of getting people to slow it down and breathe. 
 
Whew....sometimes that’s easier said than done. 

The 2020 New Yorker Festival was virtual for the first time this year and we were given the honor of whipping up a design system worthy of this storied institution. This included an anthem film to kickoff the event as well as a graphics package used during the livestream.

To all you quality-family time watching, cozy couples chilling, in-the-shower-streaming, multi-tasker meeting, or doing the dishes peeping, type people out there--Hulu’s got your back. 

Thorne, maker of health supplements and at-home testing kits, came to us for a brand film. They walked out with an entire motion system and an expansive toolkit that could carry them into the future.
