Behind the scenes

Was an absolute pleasure putting this TVC series together over the last few months for the legends over at @myconnect_aus. In these instances where we work direct-to-client, it often means we workshop personas/characters, concepts, and aesthetics from the ground up, and we definitely love where we landed with Zen Suzie and Stressy Grant. Can’t wait to see these popping up everywhere 💚

One of our founders @sarahhickey.tv managed to squeeze out a music video for her side project @glittertearsmusic just in time for New Years. A self-directed/produced and edited project, ‘Dance It Off’ was executed with a small crew of epic collaborators - but the clip is a BIG vibe. Follow @glittertearsmusic and set a reminder for 9am on the 28th December to watch the clip when it goes live. It’s a great way to flip the bird to 2020/2021, and “Dance It Off”.

As another year of highs and lows comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on yet another crazy year. It’s just nuts to think that the vast majority of our work has been done within the last 3 months, but that our team has somehow managed to churn out more than a year’s worth of work during this time.

We can’t wait to share everything with you as we head into the new year, there certainly will be plenty of it.

To our team, who continue to take this turbulent Covid world in their stride, thank you for doing it with grace and a smile. It hasn’t been easy, but you do a great job of making it look so.

To our clients, thanks for being patient with us while all of the work was layered right on top of one another. We’ve been blessed with epic collaborators in 2021.

And to everyone else going through the same (or similar) we hope you get to take some kind of break, hug a loved one, eat something naughty, and bust a move into the New year. Bring on 2022. We ready xx

EDIT: We decided to spell PRODUCER incorrectly in honour of those with dyslexia. Right JC? 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

ORIGINAL POST: Since starting Monster & Bear back in 2013, we have dreamt and often joked of hiring creative wizard @jc.reyes.studio. Well, we’re excited to announce that the day has come! Our new Executive Producer JC has a wealth of creative leadership, agency/business management and animation production knowledge under his belt, and we can’t wait to hit the ground running with him as we continue to embrace @monsterandbear’s growth into 2022! Welcome aboard you good thing.

(SOUND ON!) As always, an absolute pleasure working with our legendary friends over at @kidsafeaus and @kidsafevic to raise awareness around PEWL SAFETY this Summer.

Monty might not have nailed it, but as parents or supervising adults, we always need to keep an eye on our little pals around bodies of water.

Not long until we see some these gorgeous shots interwoven into a very meaningful Summer water safety campaign. Stay tuned 🥰

He’s the man with the dry humour, quiet-spoken until you get him on the drum kit. The surgeon of timelines in an audio and visual sense. And just an all round bloody nice guy. Meet @adrianphman. Editor and Sound Designer at @monsterandbear!

What a gorgeous and sustainable food and farming initiative put in The Murray. Part 3 in our maker series for Visit Victoria (@visitmelbourne) for the Murray leg of the ‘Stay Close. Go Further’ series. Thanks for letting us tell your story @foodnextdoorcoop

Can you believe it? We’re able to explore our wonderful state again! And for those who didn’t know, we’ve spent a large chunk of the last 2 years working with Visit Victoria (@visitmelbourne) on the ‘Stay Close, Go Further’ campaign. These are some of the gorgeous stills from the Murray Region maker films which are now live at https://www.visitvictoria.com/stayclosegofurther.

We have loved every minute of having this goddess of production on board the team at Monster & Bear. @maria.alejandraperdomo is a force to be reckoned with, but also a big ball of love. We’re more than proud of this one’s energy and spirit since she joined us earlier this year. ☺️👏

A pleasure to have worked with a bunch of fresh industry faces grading this gorgeous looking experimental short. Beautiful work as always @s.k.mccarthy 🥲 Full credits below.

On the day we, here in Melbourne, “take life back”, we also release an ultra meaningful campaign alongside the legends at @10feet_tall (for client Spinal Life) with the same sentiment. Thanks so much to pur interstate crew for making this happen up in Queensland while we couldn’t make it happen here. You’ve done a beautiful job with production, and it was our pleasure to manage the project and do the post.

We’re #hiring. Boo-yah!

If you're the kind of person who lives and breathes filmed content, loves pushing the boundaries of a concept, and wants to join a growing team that feels strengthened by the challenges presented by the pandemic, then we want to hear from you.

We're looking for someone to join the senior level of our team, to provide support and guidance to the business and production team, with knowledge across all areas of film production (and animation).

Sound like you, or someone you know? Apply now. Application link in bio, or enquire within via hiring@monsterandbear.com.au.

It’s been a little while since we’ve showcased a team member, but if you’ve been in touch with us during this lockdown then you’ve probably crossed paths with producer @jemrankin; the master of rejigging schedules, keeping up to date with Covid regulations and hosting Friday afternoon games nights (virtual OR in person). We can’t wait to be able to do more of those things in person again soon.
