ABOUT

Guitar Bear was a project for the Beano's online channels; specifically "Beano Toons".

The brief was to pitch a range of short 1-3 minute ideas that would appeal to a young audience between the ages of 7-11, and they were specifically interested in music based videos.

I came up with the concept of a bear that plays guitar for woodland critters and expanded a story from their feedback. It eventually became an epic music battle of Bears vs Bees in the fight for honey.

I worked with Dexter Prior who wrote, composed and performed the song in the style of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

We worked on a small budget for the animation, that consisted of simple composed shots with not much movement, but a comic style.
