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

A few sneaky snaps by @taylanceylan behind the scenes of our latest spot for Bistro Blinds, directed by @carljsorheim, featuring sass from @jessicagalea, intense focus from @shannynhiggins and a brewing bromance from @joshmitchellfrey 😜

Next up in our Meet The Team series is our Head of Postproduction Ryan Bird. He’s a bit too cool for the gram, but not too cool for Star Wars and Video Games 😜

Feels great to be back! Lots of simultaneous shoots on the go at the moment, and glad to see the weather putting on a show for this exterior shoot yesterday. 🙌

It’s been a long year, and somehow our team has GROWN. So, in the name of growth - personally and as a team - we’ll be trickling out some cute little ‘Meet The Team’ loops so you can get to know us... some old faces, some new. All wiser for having survived a pandemic together.

Massive shoutout to our designer @jennyzdesign who helped us pull together our Iso-Cray doco with these gorgeous and relatable illustrations of different isolated characters.Which one can you relate to? Or perhaps reminds you of someone you know?

Felt cute. Won't delete later. Watch the full video in our story!It's no secret that we've shifted some of our focus to offer more animation and post-production services while production services are juggling restrictions. So we put together this cute little thang to give you a little bit of insight into how we work.Sound like fun? It definitely is. When it comes to animation, the world is (perhaps a little literally in this case) our oyster.Been considering getting an animation done? Hit us up!

#Repost @beyondblueofficial. A powerful series of remote interviews conducted for World Suicide Prevention Day (Today, along with R U OK Day). There’s braveness one vulnerability. And there’s no shame in reaching out for help x Stay safe out there.Directed/interviewed by @sabotage.distance

This post contains video content that might be distressing for some viewers. It features real people’s stories about suicide.Each day in Australia, more than eight people die by suicide. Today on #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we’re sharing the stories of eight people who found a way through. These stories offer a message of hope to anyone finding it difficult to cope – showing that suicidal thoughts can pass and that seeking support is a crucial step towards recovery.For those of us worried someone we know is thinking about suicide, these stories remind us that asking them about it directly could be a life-changing conversation. If someone tells you they’re thinking about suicide, just be there for them: listen to them without judgement, validate how they’re feeling, reassure them that the pain can pass, and connect them with support. You don’t have to be an expert to make a difference – learn more at beyondblue.org.au/WSPD, or visit the link in our bio.If you’re feeling distressed or overwhelmed, our mental health professionals are available 24/7 on 1300 22 4636 or at beyondblue.org.au/getsupport for email (responses within 24 hours). For immediate support call Lifeline on 13 11 14 and in an emergency, always call triple zero (000).Keep an eye out on our social media channels over the next few weeks, as we take a closer look at each of the stories featured in this video.

Yep. It’s official. We’ve all gone #isocray! But what is iso-cray? Well, it’s “a form of delirium, or coping mechanism developed by the people of Melbourne in Stage 4 lockdown”. We’re sure many of you can relate.If you haven’t caught it yet, here’s a very small glimpse of our 10-minute doco on what it’s really feeling like for Melburnians in lockdown at the moment. Link in bio, watch via story, or just head to monsterandbear.com.au to check it out there!

Gonna keep it loose-as-a-goose for now, but let's just say we'll be springing our little Melbourne-In-Iso doco soon. Very soon. Like, maybe tomorrow soon. But who's to say? What day is it even? What even is life? Or time?Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to our little movement. We've loved getting to know you and hearing your stories #isocray

Very proud of the end result of this last-minute shoot during Stage 3 filming restrictions. Shot at @monsterandbearstudios, it was a pleasure to work with @bmfaustralia on this one, and to interview @ezimagbegor about the importance of feeling ‘Rwady For Whatever Comes Next’.

We encourage you to be vulnerable. We encourage you to be authentic. We encourage you to be funny, to be cute.

It's not absolutely officially official until it's on the Screen Australia website.
Good hustle team, good news is few and far between during a pandemic so we'll take it. Stay tuned for more on 'The Followers' as the project develops.

Some gorgeous moments from the last of our Beyond Blue 'Be You' documentaries, now live. Proud to have helped document the amazing work being done by schools to implement measures for both staff and students around mental health and wellbeing. All 4 films now live on the Monster & Bear website.

We are just SO proud to have worked with our legend @sabotage.distance on her short film 'Objects of my Disaffection' which will be premiering at @melbfilmfest this year!Some gorgeous stills to pique your interest. Please check it out at the link in bio, and tune in online when the festival rolls around this year on the interwebs!

HUGE NEWS! We are so proud to announce that a show we’ve been working on with our legends at @goodallandgallagher has just been selected to go into development with Ron Howard’s Imagine Impact program, alongside @filmvic and @screenaustralia. Couldn’t be prouder of these legends!

Editor? Last-minute stand in? Or UFC Fighter? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 For some reason we can’t stop laughing at this.

Working on something exciting alongside M&B director @juzzykane , DP @joelegandp and the legends at @harpyfilm to show your eyeballs soon. New piece for @lost.little.one - coming soon!

INTRODUCING... "THE HUF"! @fuhleumas
Due to the increased demand for animation during the period over lockdown - and the general time of the pandemic - we've actually hired someone. So we just wanted to give a warm and official welcome to Sam Huf who has joined the Monster & Bear team.
We're very excited to have this incredible motion designer, character designer and 2D/3D animator join us. His work - as seen in his showreel below - speaks for itself! What do you think? A keeper?
Note: Due to having two Sams in post, it's officially okay to call this Sam 'The Huf'! He loves it :P

Our sentiments exactly @robotface_au ! Was such a pleasure to work with you legends too!

A little while back, we had a blast churning out this cute video for health food co. KOJA. Also... these bars are ridiculously scrumptious. Everyone can attest to this, except director Jessica Galea - who is allergic to nuts. For those who aren't however, get on it. Now at Coles.

@glittertearsmusic debut single ‘Demisexual’ drops soon, and we can’t wait to show you the nostalgic music video we’ve been working on with the team at @robotface_au and @fkdstudio. Made possible also by Lite M Up, @tvh_rentals and @monsterandbearstudios. Welcome to the Glitterverse.

If you’re up for a little uplifting video that we made before coronavirus took over our feeds, here’s some insight into the faces BEHIND the content we make. We like honesty and authenticity from our clients, so it’s only fair we are that way with YOU, right? Link to full film in bio 😂.

All of our cuties working from home, or in separate spaces, absolutely when and where possible. We’re so proud of everyone adapting so seamlessly into this new way of working and doing what we can to slow the spread of C19. #wfh #staythefuckhome #stayhome

@sarahhickey.tv puts it best when she says: Things are a little bit fucked right now... But we just thought we'd let you know we're still operating, even if it's business as NOT-so-usual.
But while this might be an incredibly hard time for everyone, we just wanted to let brands and agencies know that it's more important than ever to keep communicating with their customers and consumers, and keeping their finger on the pulse. A film is such a powerful way to do that.
While high-concept is where we love to live, we recognise our business needs to lean up, and refocus on what's most important right now; and the world is simply craving authenticity, transparency, empathy, kindness and vulnerability. To not address our current situation and pretend nothing is happening is the worst thing you can do.
So, we're here to say... we get it. But we're also here to say... let's be proactive, not REactive. Let's remain flexible and let's tackle this asshole of a year one step at a time.

Another example of the power of storyboarding. This quick turnaround project for Myer needed everyone to be on the same page with one week of preproduction, and we think it’s pretty safe to say that everyone nailed it 😂.

Thanks to this big bunch of legends for making our TVC shoot for @klookanz such a blast last week.

Turning your campaign videos into memes can be one way to grab an audience's attention while scrolling away. Here's a few meme-ified spots we did for @kidsafe_au last year. A great way to extend the life of a spot and stop some of those darn scrollers in their tracks!

When art imintates storyboard. Flashback to an oldie but goodie, a beautiful project we did for 'Respect Aged Care' thanks to creative legends over at @10feettall_melbourne. (P.s. Goes to show how helpful a storyboard can be in preproduction when it comes to nailing a vision - thanks @mattholmes77). @tombeaurepaire @steph_evison_williams

Beautiful colour grade work on our most recent campaign for @myer (featuring @iamsallycheng) done by in-house legend Sam 'King' McCarthy (@s.k.mccarthy). Now you know what the 'K' in his handle stands for :P You're welcome.

Bite-sized content (and more of it!) seems to be the way of the future when it comes to social rollout for brands. Here's a few fun clips we produced as a part of a series for @ecosa_sleep, to follow up the infamous 'Supermum' campaign last year.
