Ben Bear IV Stills

Big Jump, now half way through production on the 4th cycle of The Secret World of Benjamin Bear is proud of our team and what we have been able to accomplish with The Adobe Suite.

"It's a pleasure to see the quality and fullness of animation we have been able to achieve by using the digital medium and traditional skills. I am thrilled to see animators drawing again" says Rod Amador VP of Big Jump Productions.

Once production is commenced we never leave the digital domain from design through to offline edit. The transition from traditional to digital has been seamless, maintaining the rich fullness of the environments in HD and the appeal of the animation itself. Ben Bear 4 is a prime example of the possibilities of the software when operated by first rate talent at all levels.

“Everything is going according to plan, not only is the software an excellent tool for full animation production but the economics are unparalleled” says Cory Morrison VP of Big Jump Productions.

Big Jump goes Paranormal

Big Jump delivers Ralph Filmore Paranormal Investigator Promo to Amberwood Entertainment and Arcana Comics. The next big thing to hit MIPJunior….. no doubt! “The stylistic comic book approach coupled with fast paced animation and ultra dynamic staging is sure to make Filmore a hit.”

We made this possible with the collaboration of the Big Jump senior animation crew, Bradley Cayford, Leisl Adams and Steve Valdez. Great job everyone!
