Behind the Scenes at BearJam – January Vlog Recap

We kicked off the year with a bang at BearJam, a leading video production company in London, creating bold, creative work for brands that want to stand out. As 2019 wrapped up, we found ourselves collaborating with exciting clients on some of our most ambitious projects to date — from global names like Red Bull and Netflix to innovative financial brands like Revolut Business.

🎥 In our first-ever BearJam vlog, I give you a peek behind the curtain at what we’ve been up to, share new team updates, and showcase some of the standout work produced by our talented in-house videographers, editors, producers, and directors.

Red Bull & ExxonMobil: 3D Animation Meets Live Action

One highlight was a multi-video project for Red Bull and ExxonMobil. The series was hosted by the brilliant Natalie Pinkham and combined green screen footage, dynamic 3D animation, and beautifully lit live-action content shot at Red Bull's HQ in Milton Keynes. The animation work — led by one of our own rostered directors, Flock — brought technical storytelling to life in a visually stunning way, proving just how powerful a blend of live-action and motion graphics can be in branded content.

Netflix’s Sex Education: Tackling Sensitive Topics with Authentic Voices

Another proud moment was creating a compelling short film for Netflix, promoting Season 2 of Sex Education. The video featured cast members Aimee Lou Wood and Patricia Allison in conversation with show creator Laurie Nunn and Everyday Sexism founder Laura Bates. Filmed on a bus to reflect a key storyline from the series, this sensitive and honest conversation explored the theme of sexual assault. With an all-female crew on set, we ensured a safe, respectful, and empowering environment for everyone involved — a hallmark of our approach to purpose-led video content.

New Talent, New Energy

We also welcomed a brilliant new director to our roster. Jo Southwell, a sharp and witty comedy director.

Revolut Business: Gameified Interviews

Just before Christmas, we filmed a fun, fast-paced series of interview-style videos for Revolut Business, bringing energy and playfulness into the B2B space. Our senior editor, Louie, is currently weaving his magic in post-production, and we’re excited to share the final cuts in the next vlog.
