In our spot for Gong Cha, the characters find refuge from Australia's summer heat in the store's bright tea flavors and unique toppings, transforming them into colorful, bubbly versions of themselves.
We teamed up with Zapier to create six animated snippets that depict their sophisticated automation capabilities.
Each animation was crafted by different BUCK artists with distinctly unique design and animation styles.

The coming wave of AI-generated images is going to radically change the way many of us work.
Tools like

are here now, and one of our artists, Dae-Han Yi, used it to kitbash scenes together and then paint over select elements for the final composition.
Every project at BUCK gets a complexity score.
1 to 5, you ask?
1 to 10, maybe?
No. Today I learned we use a Fibonacci scale. A project can have a 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, or 13 score for complexity.
(I have no idea what a 0 score means.)
BUCK's Matt Kenefick whipped up a Chrome extension that is sure to delight creatives everywhere.
With a simple right-click, you can download any image from a Google Slides deck — even GIFs. No hacky workarounds necessary.
