Production Services

TV Commercials

At TV Bears International, we adapt to your production needs. We can work seamlessly under your director’s guidance, provide complete director and studio services of our own, or anything in between, incorporating our iconic bears and characters into the creative process.

Every production includes our own experienced actors and coordinators who know our costumes inside and out, ensuring shoots run smoothly and efficiently. We also have trusted collaborators ready to assist in many countries, making it possible to deliver consistent, professional results no matter where your project takes place.

Whether supporting your vision or developing original concepts, our team brings decades of on-set expertise, ensuring every frame feels authentic and compelling. Our lifelike characters offer a physical presence that CGI alone cannot replicate, delivering practical effects that connect with audiences on a deeper level.

Our assets also work well in hybrid CGI scenes, and we allow markers to be placed on our assets to enable straightforward post-production options.

Live Audience Engagement

Brand Activations

Our characters are proven attention magnets in high-traffic environments, drawing in crowds and sparking curiosity. Once the attention is captured, we create the perfect opportunity for your brand to share its story, showcase new products, and even broadcast live across social platforms.

We offer single appearances, multiple-day activations, and full roadshow support, adapting to the scale and needs of your campaign. Whether it is a launch event or a long-term awareness program, our coordinators ensure every detail runs seamlessly.

Memorable Character Appearances

Special Events

From red carpet premieres and festivals to private gatherings, our animal characters can create a buzz, attract media coverage, and leave guests with lasting memories. With options ranging from photorealistic creatures to friendly family-safe characters, we tailor each experience to the tone of your event.

We also offer the flexibility of one-off appearances or regular scheduled programs where characters can return as part of a wider campaign.

NIBC Bank, Belgium

Casting a Bear for Your TV Campaign

TV Bears International recently brought a bear to life for NIBC Bank in the countryside near Brussels, Belgium. The ad agency, Unknown Collective, contacted us directly to book a specific bear, and we managed travel logistics, on-set coordination, and preparation, ensuring a smooth and efficient production. Our team set up a temporary studio and break room in a wood cabin, creating a professional environment for the actor. By collaborating closely with the agency and NIBC, we adapted parts of the storyboard on set, capturing organic, comedic, and attention-grabbing moments that elevated the final campaign. With our experience and ability to travel across Europe, the USA, and beyond, casting a bear for your TV or digital campaign is simple and stress-free. From initial consultation to final delivery, we provide a complete package including actor, costume, and coordination. Interested in casting a bear for your next project?
