We just released a new project that we are very excited to share. This :60-second spot was crafted by the Brazen team for a mobile game called War Dragons. Pocket Gems, a San Francisco based company that builds mobile games and interactive entertainment, came to us wanting to develop a high-end and ambitious marketing campaign similar to what has been created for Clash of Clans. Our creative team dove head first into the world of the game and developed the concept, visual style, and animation for this piece.
The game is a cinematic aerial adventure where fire breathing dragons unleash fury against their enemies. Brazen collaborated with Pocket Gems to develop the creative concept while keeping the creative tone and messaging in tact. The Brazen art department created the visual development artwork and storyboards to define the characters, world, and story beats. All CG production and editorial was completed by the talented crew of artists at Brazen Animation.

Watch the making of the spot….
Brazen Animation has released Tempest, a teaser for the Dallas-based studio’s first original content offering. The three-minute teaser follows a grizzled sailor reflecting upon a life of loss and regret. The narrative reveals the lone sailor facing his fiercest adversary. Brazen self-funded and internally developed the intellectual property, utilizing the studio’s in-house team. The Tempest teaser is available at www.brazenanimation.com/tempest
Tempest represents Brazen’s mission: to tell inspirational stories with meaning and purpose, impacting the lives of their audience. Brazen is currently seeking development partners to produce a long-form version of Tempest.
“Between servicing our commercial clients and partners, we created Tempest as a sincere attempt to test the conventions of animated storytelling and what our incredibly talented team can achieve,” said Bryan Engram, Brazen CEO and director of Tempest. “We want to boldly tackle subject matter and styles not represented in typical animated fare.”
Before founding Brazen in 2014, Engram previously served as director of studio animation, animation director and supervisor for films and theme park experiences including The Wild, Everyone’s Hero, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Open Season 2 & 3, Looney Tunes theatrical released shorts, The Simpsons Ride and Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem.To achieve the moody visuals and striking purposeful symbolism, Engram and the Brazen Animation team merged the artistry of CG animation with the visual sensibilities of 2D animation, drawing from a variety of influences to achieve its unique look. Engram cites the lighting in classical theatrical productions, allegorical references to Moby Dick, and classic animation styles among the influences for Tempest.
“For Tempest, we were inspired by cinematic realism and exaggerated animation and design sensibilities. There’s no ‘house style’ at Brazen. We craft a look and feel for each piece of content based on what best serves the story,” said Engram.
