Stick puppets of Josh & the Jamtones meeting a bear in a velvet robe — BEAR HUNT: THE MOVIE

3D animated skits designed to look like handmade puppets for the band Josh & the Jamtones

BEAR HUNT: THE MOVIE

Bear Hunt is a series of shorts created and animated for Grammy-nominated kids musical group Josh & the Jamtones using a unique digital puppetry animation style. We applied real-time animator movements to flat 2D characters in a realistic 3D environment, using CG animation to simulate the homemade arts & crafts experience and surpass its analog limitations.

In 2015, Bear Hunt: The Movie was released on DVD through Chuck E. Cheese nationwide and featured our four animated skits intercut with music videos.
