As needed, I created some construction sheets to help Corey with the proportions of our characters. I'm quite proud of the fathers one, with attention to detail in his slouching stance. Here, Corey had an idea for what the factory sequence should look like, and storyboarded it - and I made a quick animatic for it. (Corey also had this idea that we should make our own choir of voice actors to sing silly bear related lyrics to the intense orchestral music that's bound to go along with this scene.)

Later I made alterations based on the fact the story was now taking place in the 1950’s. Corey sent me a couple images of typical schoolchildren outfits for the t...
