What do you do when NBC asks you to help launch its new series about a serial killer inspired by the New York Times bestselling novel “The Bone Collector?" 2C created a custom spot using the killer's voice for a chilling promo setting up the show's premise from his POV. They found an impactful way to introduce viewers to The Bone Collector by using a key detail from the pilot, a simple postcard he had written to Detective Lincoln Rhyme. It was this moment of Lincoln receiving the handwritten note that became the inspiration for the spot and this scene that got the team thinking about what could have been written in the note, which led to the fully first-person spot, a creative angle NBC welcomed. 2C had actor Brian F. O’ Byrne (The Bone Collector) voice the script, his taunting words give the audience insight into the characters’ history and the plot of the show.

Boma | Camp Sugar Brand Identity
Rebel Wilson's Directorial debut “The Deb” premiered as the closing night film at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Adding a touch of creative flair to the film’s debut, the team at Boma helped in crafting the brand identity for Wilson’s production company, Camp Sugar.
“Rebel and her team approached us with this adorable character design and a simple question: ‘Can we make this happen in time for Toronto?’” shares Jason Cohon. “As huge fans of animation, and with such a fantastic concept from Josh and Meredith on Rebel’s team, it was an easy ‘yes!’”
The :05 identity opens in a serene forest scene featuring a hand-carved wooden sign reading “Camp Sugar.” As the camera reveals two hands gently holding the sign, a little girl playfully peeks from behind, inviting the audience into the world of Camp Sugar. Boma was tasked with designing and animating the 3D environment and character, delivering a fully rendered introduction that will serve as a long-lasting signature for Rebel Wilson’s films for years to come.
“We had so much fun making this and hope to be able to do many more unique versions for all of Camp Sugar’s films.”
Based in Los Angeles, Boma was created to fill a need for quicker turnarounds and tighter budgets while maintaining quality at the highest creative level. With a fully remote pipeline, global partnership across three continents and a team of senior creative talent, Boma is equipped to scale projects rapidly, regardless of budget or timeline constraints.
