John Lewis "The Bear & the Hare"

Elliot Dear
View Director

a one-of-a-kind transatlantic collaboration between elliot and yves geleyn united with adam&eveddb, the bear and the hare has become one of the best loved Christmas commercials of recent years. Created by placing 2d cutouts of the characters into real sets and then animating in-camera, this groundbreaking film used techniques that hadn’t ever been tried on this scale. The results are breathtaking; Aaron Blaise’s (The Lion King, Pocahontas) character designs spring to life under Elliot’s direction. A film to warm even the coldest heart.
