Behind the scenes

Did you know that we’re not just a production company? We hire our humble home out to other production companies to shoot here too! Please give our facility page a follow over at @monsterandbearstudios to see sone of the amazing work that comes from the walls of our creative fun factory. Or heck, hire our space now that we’re back in the wild again. (Disclaimer: COVID safe shoots only). Get awn it.

Amadea Hare is an editor and animator at Monster & Bear by day, and karaoke queen by night. We love what this dry-humoured gal brings to the team in terms of her ability to tell stories across branded content, TVCs, documentaries and animations. More importantly… can’t wait for the day we hear you bust a tune 🎤 @aamadea

While we find ourselves in another lockdown, we’ll take the opportunity to edit our current projects, plan for our future ones, and cuddle our pets. Stay safe out there Melbourne.

Some very cute #behindthescenes from @monsterandbear and @cyclone_creative's collaborative production for @nimbleaustralia. A vibrant set and clever casting - 'Rodney the Rabbit' is a natural! 🐰

To all the production companies Australia-wide (and other creative industries, and business owners) who have been navigating the ongoing uncertainty, cancellations, postponements, and the costs associated with them, may you too be back out there again soon.

Our team is very fortunate to be back on the road filming an intrastate tourism campaign, but not without its ongoing scheduling hurdles. One sunrise and sunset at a time Australia. You got this. 👊

We used to joke that Sam had a smouldering boy-band face in any behind the scenes photo he appeared in back in the day. These days, @s.k.mccarthy rocks the edit suite and - in our opinion - is one of the most dedicated and honed colourists in Melbourne. Always making our edits look shmicko (and stealing muesli bars from the unit cupboard after a lunchtime gym sesh), Sam is a very valued veteran member of the Monster & Bear team ☺️

We never got around to posting any of our gorgeous frames from the @aflwomens x @wefightforfair “Fair Go” community Series that we did a little way back. A very heartwarming project 🥰. Full clips and credits on our website.

This isn’t our first rodeo. Some of the @monsterandbear team making lockdown look good. Again. 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!

New work for @movember. Swipe right for behind the scenes 😂.

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.

Earlier this year we had the pleasure of working with agency @hardhatagency on this campaign TVC for @victoriauniversity. A very quick turnaround on this one, so a very epic hustle all round.

This little number was 12 months in the making for @nimbleaustralia, as a result of the forever-changing financial landscape in 2020. Partners @cyclone_creative have done a wonderful job in partnering and pitching on this project with us, and we just love Rodney and Millennial Ash. Don't you?
