Updated: Oct 2

Dear Friends and Supporters,


We are delighted to share some exciting updates on the progress of The Paper Bear feature film. Your unwavering support has been the driving force behind this incredible project, and we are closer than ever to bringing our story to the world.


Final Touches: Post-Production Progress



Our team is meticulously finalizing the color grading process. Enhancing each scene with the perfect blend of hues and tones enriches the visual storytelling to create a truly immersive experience. The colors will bring depth and vibrancy to the world of The Paper Bear, making every moment on screen captivating and emotionally resonant.


Breathing Life into Animation



Simultaneously, our talented animators over at Chase A Cloud are putting the finishing touches on the final sequences. They ensure that every movement, expression, and background art is crafted precisely, bringing our characters to life in a way that captures their heart and soul. Their hard work guarantees that the animation not only meets but exceeds our vision for the film.


A Musical Masterpiece: Recording the Score



We are thrilled to announce that we are preparing to record the film's score with a full orchestra. Guided by the creative vision of our esteemed composer, George Strezvo, the music will intertwine seamlessly with the narrative, adding depth and emotion to every moment. Recording with a full orchestra is a dream come true, and we believe it will create an unforgettable auditory experience for you.
