Bold Moves, Biryani & BearJam’s 2023 Kickoff – The January Vlog
We’re back! And yes, it’s still (just about) acceptable to say Happy New Year. In this edition of the BearJam Vlog, we’re kicking off 2023 with bold thinking, creative energy, and a healthy dose of pistachios.
This month’s vlog explores the meaning of being bold — both in life and in video production — and gives you a peek into the latest projects, plans, and predictions from the team at BearJam, one of London’s leading animation and live-action video content studios.
Here’s what we cover in this episode:
🍛 Dishoom Lunch Pots Promo – We headed to Dishoom’s Canary Wharf kitchen to film vertical video content designed specifically for Instagram Reels, promoting their new delivery-only lunch pots. The edit’s already live, and we’ve got four more tasty cuts on the way. (Spoiler: the crew lunch was a real highlight.)
💻 Cybersecurity Animation for Fortra – Our motion design team is storyboarding a new suite of animated explainer videos for global cybersecurity brand Fortra, tackling complex topics like risk and ransomware with clarity, style, and creativity.
🎥 Love Island Meets Just Eat – We were recently on set with Tasha and Andrew for a campaign with Just Eat and Mischief PR, proving again that we know how to merge branded content with pop culture to drive social engagement.
🌍 Climate Passion Project – Between client projects, we’re also developing a creative campaign tackling climate change apathy — a bold internal initiative aimed at sparking conversation and action.
🎞️ New Showreels (Yes, Plural) – We’ve refreshed our main BearJam video production showreel and cut a brand new animation and motion graphics reel. If you're scouting for a partner that combines strategic storytelling with standout visuals — have a peek.
👀 Dream Clients & Studio Goals – We asked our team who they’d love to work with this year. The answers might surprise you. If you’re from one of those dream brands… let’s make it happen.
📈 2023 Video Trends – James has written a blog breaking down the top video trends for 2023, including:

🤖 AI-Generated Outro – In true 2023 fashion, we handed over the vlog’s closing words to two AIs — one to write it, the other to deliver it. You’ll want to see how that turned out...
