Bearly is SCAD Animation Studios' flagship film, debuting in 2020.
​
It follows the journey of a young bear who fights the urge to hibernate while experiencing the changing seasons for the first time.
​
Bearly was animated in Maya 2020 and lit in Katana.
​
My main responsibility on Bearly was 3D animation.
​
Software: Autodesk Maya
Year: 2020

I had a great time animating a scared little Bearly. Translating a human-esque reaction of fear onto a bear character was fun and challenging. Getting the body language to be subtle yet realistic taught me a lot.

I had so much fun animating Bearly and the bird interacting with each other! It was a nice exercise to have two creature characters play off of each other.
