Bare Bear - Full Vid

Bare Bear was a live industry brief that four students (myself included) had the privilege of working on based on the success of our Cribbin' short. The client was Paul Shurey, who was head of digital media at Tiger Aspect studios, and the brief was to create a demo to accompany a childrens book that would later be pitched for broadcast.
The story when we recieved it was of a fur-less bear who travels the world to meet different kinds of bear and trying on different bear costumes in an attempt to work out what kind of bear he is. We developed the concept art further, and added the element of a magic wardrobe that takes him to different countries and fits him with the appropriate costume.

My Roles

I modeled, lit, textured, rendered, and did the post production (compositing and after effects design and animation) on the dump scene. I also textured the naked bear model, and rigged for each scene.

As you can see from the film, and as I mentioned in a previous post, the animation in my scene ultimately got cut in favour of the story-book style introduction. While I did not get to finish my animation as a result of this, it also meant I finally got a decent chance to get to grips with Adobe After Effects, and enjoyed composting and animating the text effects on this.
