The Goal

We were approached by Funko Games to create a how to play video for Cranium 25th Anniversary Edition, a classic family party game full of moulding clay, acting, silly voices, and more!

The Process

Cranium was played in the Hecox household often when Chris was a kid, so getting to work on this modern rerelease was a dream come true!

Chris was sent pre-existing footage from a few different shoots, as well as the assets for Cranium 25th Anniversary Edition. We created a few new scenes, including the logo reveal and game board setup.

We used simple puppet keyframing to add a little life to each of the four characters in the game.

Overall, this one was a pretty quick turn considering we also had three additional videos from the Cranium team in production at the same time.

We are so glad to have worked on such a beloved intellectual property!
