Other Brother: Handmade stories for curious brands and serious science
Well, it’s a creative production studio. But really, it’s the creative synthesis of director duo Stuart Bury and Isaiah Powers. From the first spark of an idea to the final frame, they’re there every step of the way, guiding the creative with one goal in mind: crafting a great story, no matter the medium.
Our work has been called creative, quirky, and a little unexpected. We’ll happily take all three. After all, that’s just who we are.
Isaiah is a problem solver, storyteller, and creative rule-breaker. With a background in film, video, radio, and high-end post-production, he believes no two stories should be told the same way. After years behind the camera and in the edit bay, he discovered that some stories needed more than a camera to fully come alive. So he turned to animation.
As a director and producer, Isaiah pushes visual boundaries, explores tactile techniques, and brings a hands-on approach to every project. His experience in healthcare, shaped by a deeply personal family story, also informs his work in medical and pharmaceutical animation—where clarity, creativity, and meaningful storytelling come together.
Stuart is an award-winning director who believes the most powerful stories are told visually. Like many creative types, he spent his childhood drawing, painting and sculpting. But it wasn’t until he serendipitously stumbled into animation that he knew he’d found his calling.
From character designs to production schedules, Stuart sees every act as a creative one and organizes his creative belief system around the idea that in order to break the rules, you must master them first. Using his diverse creative disciplines, he works with clients and collaborators to break the rules in all the right ways — marrying medium and message, and maximizing impact.
When he’s not working in the studio or on studio projects, he’s spending time with his family and friends and filling up his sketchbook.

Advantage Multi® protects dogs and cats from a variety of nasty parasites including heartworms and fleas. Showing those parasites and the damage they can do to beloved pets can potentially make for some horrific imagery. They wanted to do something different by presenting the facts in a visually pleasing way and boldly position Advantage Multi at the forefront of their industry.
With an approach that’s both visually stunning and authoritative, we leveraged the power of layered paper to align with their slogan “the many layers of protection.” By doing so, we created striking visuals that effectively communicate the message without being graphic or off-putting. These parasites won’t make you shield your eyes or look away.
This campaign engaged vets and audiences well beyond the norm with a 430% increased click-through rate. The typical industry interaction benchmark is 1.88%, and this campaign increased interaction more than sixfold, to 11.83%.
This animatic comparison shows how tight our roughed in 2D storyboard animation was to our final paper craft creation. We used a very thorough animatic to gain legal approval before we cut any paper which gave us a clear roadmap of how to proceed. A high level of communication saves money and stress in the long run and all of our artists knew exactly what they needed to create.
Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes? This lil’ pup explains the process in detail. See how a little planning, live action puppetry, stop-motion animation, and post production effects work together to create the illusion of life in a lump of foam and some felt!
This sting reel covers a collection of clips from our many award-winning MOA/MOD videos explaining the intricacies of generalized myasthenia gravis, CIDP, and other auto-immune diseases and how they affect those who suffer from them. These animations captivate viewers’ attention and makes the science behind the treatment clear and memorable.
Our flagship VYVGART video made it through all of the legal reviews from storyboard through to final video with no major revisions.
The audience feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Many patients reported that they felt heard and respected and that they had never seen a video like this before. Our animations spoke to them, not at them. We were able to present complex ideas in a way that was clear, beneficial and engaging.
This is a deep dive into textures and colors, a bright mixed media approach that is tied directly to the story, heart and soul.
What really matters is that these processes and materials make manifest the invisible, that is the desire, the struggle, the achievement and in this case the realization of a truth that stays with the audience and affects their thoughts and their decisions going forward.
The beauty of a good story is that there doesn’t need to be a heavy-handed call to action. The story itself is what is embedded in people’s thoughts and feelings and that is much more powerful than simply saying “learn this lesson” or “buy this product now”.
The real power is in showing, not telling.
Google needed to grab their live and streaming audience’s attention for an important keynote at their flagship developer’s conference, Google I/O.
We worked closely with their team to develop this retro throwback to the first two player game developed, Tennis for Two. The crowd loved the nostalgia, and most importantly focused their attention to hear what was coming next from Google.
Microsoft needed to reach a diverse global audience to showcase just how easy, enjoyable and customizable working with their software can be. Paper-crafted objects brought to life with human talent and stop-motion animation was the perfect fit to reach their broad audience.
When Windows users learn to customize their computers they will build a strong affinity with the brand and be lifelong customers.
These six brand love videos show off various aspects of Windows in fun and imaginative ways that stop the endless scroll and demand attention. A simple papercraft window is the central theme to these videos interacting in a magical way with human talent to draw in the viewer and show them how Windows can be tailor fit to them.
These unique videos stood out amongst their sea of slick social media posts and captured top engagement and audience love with the tactile feel capturing their audience’s imagination.
Other Brother’s story starts with short films. It is the medium where Isaiah and Stuart first started to work together. Shorts and stories are always occupying part of their brains and this story was fortunate enough to break free into the world. Please dim the lights and kick back for 40 seconds while things get a little wild with HOWL.
