Yogi Bear marks the first 3D digital feature shot by legendary Australian cinematographer Peter James ACS ASC (Mao's Last Dancer, Driving Miss Daisy).
James tested the RED One and Sony F35 before settling on the Sony F23 to film the Hollywood comedy, which combines both live action and animation.
Jellystone Park has been losing business, forcing greedy Mayor Brown to shut it down and sell the land. Faced with his biggest challenge ever – being tossed out of the only home he's ever known – Yogi Bear (Dan Ackroyd) must prove that he really is "smarter than the average bear" as he and Boo Boo (Justin Timberlake) join forces with their old nemesis Ranger Smith to find a way to save Jellystone Park from closing forever.
Yogi Bear is released in cinemas on December 26.
