Macro + Case Study

For our Winter R&D project, we wanted to make a skate film. Our goal was to create a series of impossible yet photo-real shots, putting us right in the middle of the action. The real trick was developing a process that would allow us to create these shots with a small team of artists (instead of the usual small army).

Good Books - Metamorphosis

  It is not very often that we have the opportunity to create a graphic equivalent of a drug fueled rant bringing all of our collective skills to bear. And it is almost unfathomable that we could actually do something like this and benefit a good cause.

The Buck team dug deep, channeling our inner gonzo, to direct and produce this homage promoting Good Books, the online bookseller that passes all its profits through to Oxfam. A big thanks to String Theory in NZ for bringing us this script, Antfood for their amazing audio stylings, to Thor for giving his voice and to all the artists who made this something we are proud of.

"Bird" - A Decent Animal, Directed by Jon Balcome

  This short film/music video was inspired by the San Fransisco based band, A Decent Animal. The film crew and visual effects crew was comprised of 39 SCAD students along with the aid of Option D Films for the use of their RED Camera. Breakdowns and documentary can be seen at ada-bird.com/visual_effects.php and ada-bird.com/on_set.php.
