Corporate Cartoon Caveman Capers….

This is an animated film we developed for Smiths Metals. Tasked with creating an original narrative that engaged audiences as well as sell the virtues of their supply system, we delivered a film production that is funny, informative as well as engaging.

With many corporate video productions, the subjects can tend to be very techno-babble heavy, but with the right concept and narrative, there is no reason why the films can’t be as engaging as they are informative.

What would usually be classed as a long film, this speeds along nicely and the run time flies past.

 

Evolution of a Horror Movie Poster…

We were tasked with developing some artwork for the new movie ‘Dead Squad’, which is in pre-production for an early shoot in 2017.  This monster/horror which is due to shoot in Bali, is being directed by our good friend Dominik Hauser and looks to be a lot of fun. When Dom asked us to work on the poster concept we jumped at the chance. Taking in the key elements of the script, tropical locations, impending doom and monsters, the idea was to create an image that tantalised the tastebuds but didn’t give everything away. Dom was blown away by the design and off the back of this, we are now developing some last minute production and monster designs to help Dom realise his vision.

Secret Life of Pets….

A busy few weeks and a backlog of posts to catch up on. The Secret Life of Pets came to the big screen last week and we were asked my Mischief PR to create a competition winners  story into a fully illustrated poster to help promote Sonys new movie, the Secret Life Of Pets….

Both the client and the competition winner were over the moon with final product and so were we…..

Something Special…..

As Bedford River Festival comes around again, we where asked if we would sponsor St Johns School in Bedford and turn one of their buses into a castle for the parade. With the help of Bedford based sign writers and co-sponsers, Graffit, we designed a castle wall and turret, complete with shields and swords so the kids can travel the parade in medieval style.

St Johns is a special school based in Kempston and caters for children and young adults with a multitude of learning and behavioural disabilities.

Give them a wave if you see them in the parade.

Zombies are magic for John Adams….

A fantastic project we worked on with the guys from John Adams hits the shelves next month; Zombie Magic, a kids magic set with grotesque and gory tricks to amaze your family and friends. Creative Bone worked closely with John Adams to create original and memorable artwork to compliment the core ideas behind the toy. we love it and think it will really  stand out on the shelves. Looking forward to working with John Adams again in the future.

Ident Magic…..

A magical start to the new year at Creative Bone. Dean Maudsley – magician, sleight of hand artist, watch thief and all round top geezer, came by and asked if we could create a small intro clip for his video content. Dark and mysterious was the goal and I think we achieved that nicely. Looking forward to working with the kleptomaniac in the future.
