Behind the scenes

This isn’t our first rodeo. Some of the @monsterandbear team making lockdown look good. Fingers crossed we are back on set in no time. ☺️

We’re sad to see her go from the full-time team but know it won’t be the last time we cross paths. Wishing all the best to @madelineclairefrench as she moves onto life’s next adventure! (But since we’d already animated Maddie’s head and her obsession with tea, plants, acting and baths... we felt the world deserved to see it!)

Throwback to 8 years ago today (!) when @fionadalwood made these little stop motion critters for us. The OG monster and bear 🥰

An official farewell to @jessicagalea and @madelineclairefrench who both ended their M&B chapters this week. Wishing you both all the best on your next adventure/s, all your travels and your well earned career trajectories. You’ll be missed, talented gals!

He’s a little humble, so getting Sam (aka ‘The Huf’) to animate his own head and toot his own horn was a big ask. Nonetheless, here he is! The one and only @fuhleumas - next up in our animated ‘Meet The Team’ series!

Our team has been on the road for the last few weeks for an exciting tourism campaign. Poor things are absolutely wrecked, but the footage looks magical. Great work guys, you're all troopers and we can't wait to show you all.

Next in our Meet The Team animated series is our fresh-faced Hungarian bumblebee Szilvia Kaszaniczky. You’ll see Szilvia floating around the studio in a number of capacities, assisting with @monsterandbearstudios hires, broader productions and overall administration. A graduate from the Sydney Film School, we’re glad to have Szilvia and her vibrant energy on board heading into the adventures of 2021 and beyond.@thedoors_tofantasyland

Have you been to @reelgoodau before? If yes, you know what a hoot it is - a full day of world-class shorts, intermittent trips to the bar, and rooftop fun times. If not, well, better late than never. We’re very proud to be helping bring the 2021 festival to you, and tickets are now on sale via www.rgff.com.au.We don’t need to sell it to you - check out the program. It’ll sell itself. And tickets are $5 cheaper if you use the promo code REELKEEN by midnight tonight.Capacity is limited so get in early. And be sure to get tickets to the official rooftop after party too. See you on March the 20th at @lidocinemas xx

Up next in our #meettheteam series is our seasoned producer @jessicagalea. Jessica has been with us a few years now and has worked with us on an extensive array of projects - from narrative series, TVCs, documentaries and social media content.Some of her clients have included @beyondblueofficial, @defeatdiabetesau, @disney @kidsafeaus and @deakinuniversity to name a few. Off the clock, she’s also produced some amazing music videos too (for the likes of @theauntydonnagallery @sexontoastmusic @getitkye @deadletterinsta and @confidenceman_)

Annnnd maybe a few more. @nimbleaustralia @genero @cyclone_creative @rainfuller @alfieflemishgiant 🧡

Welcome to 2021 people! There is a huge buzz at the office as we throw ourselves into a new year, and plenty of projects on the go! A lot of exciting things going on in both the commercial and narrative side of the business. Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes of a voiceover session we had the pleasure of doing to kickstart an animation series we’re working on. Always a pleasure @itsnatbond @dave_thorno @samuelhuntergalloway @troytopia @wickstudios
