Practical Characters in Action
TV Bears International Gallery
Explore our realistic bears, practical creature effects, and animal characters working across professional productions and live events.
Based in Toluca Lake, California, with a UK service hub in Watford, London. Available for productions worldwide.
Realistic Animal Characters on Camera and in the World
This gallery brings together a wide range of work from TV Bears International, showcasing our realistic bear costumes, practical creature effects, and animal characters across film, television, commercials, branded campaigns, red carpet appearances, live events, and product activations. You will also find test footage, character close-ups, movement and lighting tests, production photography, and selected behind-the-scenes material where sharing has been permitted and does not compromise our no-reveals policy.
The images show our realistic bears and animal doubles working in different production environments with creative teams in the UK, the United States, and international locations. Some projects require a believable practical animal double for the camera, while others use our characters as part of a commercial campaign, publicity moment, branded activation, or live audience experience. Our gallery also highlights the flexibility of practical creature work for pickup shots, controlled interactions, promotional appearances, and productions where using a live animal may be impractical or unsuitable.
Together, these images offer a broader look at the realism, movement, personality, and production value that professional bear costumes and practical animal characters can bring to film, television, commercials, and events.
Because sometimes, you just need a bear.
