We helped develop and produce animated content for award-winning TV programming, pilot episodes for networks and creators, and visual development for independent creatives.
We helped to develop and produce highlighted segments for Sid the Science Kid for The Jim Henson Company
The Jim Henson Company contracted Bunko Studios to help develop and produce all the non-CGI animation featured in each episode of Sid the Science Kid, Seasons 1 and 2. These pieces include all the the music videos for Susie's Songs, 2D animation for Grandma's Flash backs, and Sid's Big Idea where Sid's drawings come to life.
We helped to develop the visual look and fully produce highlighted segments for MAD for Warner Bros that aired on Cartoon Networks
Each episode of the MAD TV show had a highlighted moment of a movie parody segment. Using stock photos of celebrities, our creative team created assets to manipulate the faces in and create collage style environments. For other animated sketches, we helped develop the overall look and designs of the characters and delivered fully animated segments for the show.
Yummiloo
When Traci P. Johnson, creator of Blues Clues, contacted us with her creative partners at Yummico to help develop Yummiloo into a fully 3D animated teaser, we were over the moon. Yummiloo was already an award winning app guiding children to eat healthier in an engaging way, and no need to mention anything about Blues Clues!
We transformed 2D app assets into 3D characters and helped explore the magical world of Yummiloo!
Uma & Devan Namaste!
We were contacted by Sharmaji Productions to help develop a preschool children's show centered around a family living in the US, highlighting their rich multicultural background. Specifically, it was a show focused on an Indian American girl and her younger brother, showcasing their everyday life as they grow up in the United States while embracing their strong cultural heritage.
With that goal in mind, we developed the core concept of the show, encompassing both it’s design and story. After collaborating with our team, the creators were equipped with a fully animated teaser pilot and a pitch book that detailed character development, a show overview, outlines for future episodes, as well as design guidelines for the series.
Armed with these materials, the creators successfully secured Uma and Devan Namaste! for production with Toonz Media Group, resulting in the creation of the show's first season consisting of 26 episodes. Currently, the series can be streamed on Peacock and Amazon Prime.
Upstate Four
We developed and produced the pilot episode for Cartoon Network.
When the Kraus Brothers were greenlit by Cartoon Networks to produce their show pilot, Upstate Four, they reached out to Bunko Studios to help further develop and produce the pilot episode. We assembled the creative team, help select the VO cast, established a workflow, and brought this quirky group of friends (who find themselves in a pickle) to life.
Tune City
sMyles Creative LLC reached out to us to help develop short animated segments with a strong theme on music. They had a portfolio of character concepts in sketch form and set out to further develop one group of eclectic band members.
We further finessed the draft characters into fully developed assemble and created six animated shorts that showcased the characters and their individual talent. sMyles Creative is using these shorts to create brand awareness in the digital platform.
Ball Talk
Ball Talk marks one of Bunko’s first IP consultations in our history and will remain in a special place in our hearts. Creators, Mark Bujnicki and Marcus Wagner (who at the time were creatives at Nickelodeon), were greenlit by Viacom to further develop their show concept.
We helped create the pitch bible, develop the character designs, and created a 10 second motion test of the show’s main character, Red, coming to life as a real kick ball in a live action setting.
