I felt like this as a subject I did not need to research particularly far. The reason for this is because, I like many people are very familiar with teddybears, particularly the famous ones like Winnie the Pooh. And it's not particularly hard to figure out why these teddybears are so popular.
From the research I collected I started drawing teddybears with a variety of different techniques and mediums. While I thought portraying my characters as teddybears was a good idea, I knew they had been done many times before so needed my own spin on it.
Unfortunately this idea in it's entirety came to an end before pre-production had ended. When I received feedback I was met with very reasonable criticism. The most notable criticism I received, that in the end led to me abandoning the project was that actually creating my own live-action scene would take a lot of work and time I simply don't have. Instead of creating my own reference material, why not use something that already exists and apply the same technique of animating it shot-for-shot. While initially this was hard to hear as I was at the time quite enthusiastic about the idea, I did agree practically immediately and decided to go back to the drawing board.
