## 🎬 Double Trouble: Radio, Ransomware & Remote Shoots – A BearJam Vlog Special

Welcome back to the BearJam vlog — this month, we’re bringing you a **double-header** of creative updates from across April and May. From live radio interviews and online film festivals to **animation**, **post-production**, and socially-distanced shoots, this episode showcases the full range of what we do as a leading **London video production company**.

Here's what you can expect in this behind-the-scenes edition:

🎙️ **BBC Radio London Debut** – We kicked off April with a live interview on BBC Radio London, talking all things **Hibernation Film Festival** — an online short film competition designed to spark creativity and connection during lockdown. It was a first for James (and his heartbeat), but a brilliant opportunity to celebrate creativity in uncertain times.

🎞️ **Online Film Festival Live Stream** – To wrap the festival, we ran a **live-streamed awards ceremony** announcing the shortlisted entries and winners, highlighting how video can bring people together even when we're apart. (P.S. You can still catch the replay.)

🎨 **Cybersecurity Animation for ToolBook** – We delivered two distinct **animated explainer videos** for ToolBook’s Underwriting and Cyber & Technology teams. One video helped SMEs understand the risk of cyberattacks, while the other explained how ransomware support works, complete with custom visual styles and VO-driven storytelling.

❤️ **Campaign Video for Muscular Dystrophy UK** – We continued our ongoing video support for MDUK, creating engaging **virtual event content** for their Town and Gown 10K fundraiser. Think interactive livestreams, warm-up videos, interviews, and audience challenges — all built to help bridge a £2.8 million fundraising gap caused by cancelled in-person events.

🏡 **Live-Action Filming for Harvey Jones** – With safety measures in place, our nimble crew of three filmed at a Harvey Jones showroom in North London, capturing beautiful footage while adapting our entire **post-production workflow** to remote collaboration tools like **Vimeo Review** and video call edit sessions.

🧦 **Sock Puppets & Green Screen Goodness** – We're also in post on a quirky **green screen puppet project**, complete with **hand-drawn animation** and **drone filming** for socially distant real estate visuals. (Yep, it’s as fun as it sounds.)

🎥 **Director-Led Home Productions** – From tabletop domino tricks to personal lockdown stories, our BearJam directors have been getting creative in isolation. Special shout-outs to Dean Russell for his cinematic setups and Scott Ross Thor from Diamond Bullet for his heartwarming family film.

—

From **animation and motion graphics** to **live-action content**, **remote video editing**, **charity campaigns**, and **livestream production**, this vlog is packed with the kind of work that defines BearJam: agile, creative, collaborative — and always pushing for better.
