Barton F  Graf has launched a global “3 Minute Friends Forever” campaign with Supercell to support Clash Royale’s 2v2 mode becoming permanent in the game. 2v2 mode allows two players to team up in real-time and face off against an opposing team in the arena. The campaign celebrates the magic of dynamic duos and brings to life the feelings of playing Clash Royale with a partner, shown through the lens of each player’s imagination. 

The team at Barton F. Graf collaborated with Jon Watts, director of Spiderman Homecoming, and Titmouse, known for its animation in music videos (Zac Brown Band & Jay-Z) and TV work (Amazon Studios and Comedy Central) to create a mixture of live action and 2D animation of partners describing partnership, fully capturing the hyperbolic metaphors each player experiences while playing 2v2 as told by two players themselves. 

Kicking off the multi-spot package is this piece titled “Sea of Chaos.”
