Goldtooth Creative

Goldtooth Creative is a Vancouver-based visual effects, animation and creative film production studio specializing in narrative-driven game trailers, cinematics and commercials. Founded in 2008, the studio brings creative development, live-action filmmaking and digital production together, working across video game marketing, film, episodic entertainment and advertising.

Its production approach connects the early stages of storytelling with finished screen content. Services span scriptwriting, worldbuilding, concept art, storyboards and pre-visualization, followed by live-action direction, casting, location production and stunt coordination. Digital capabilities include character and creature animation, rigging, environments, lighting, shading, effects simulations and compositing. Editorial, color grading and sound design supervision support delivery for broadcast, digital and theatrical formats.

Game storytelling

Goldtooth's work on Deus Ex: Human Revolution includes CGI trailers and the live-action campaigns Sarif Industries and Purity First. Its subsequent work for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided includes The Mechanical Apartheid, extending its use of live-action short films to explore game worlds and their themes.

The studio also develops cinematic narratives and promotional content for mobile games. Its collaborations with Marvel Entertainment and Kabam encompass anniversary films, character launches and multi-part storytelling for Marvel Contest of Champions and Marvel Realm of Champions. Other supported game projects include Marvel Duel, Crysis 3, Sleeping Dogs, Thief 4, Risk of Rain 2 and the Need for Speed series. These productions span fully animated trailers, in-engine sequences, live-action campaigns and combinations of those formats.

Film and visual effects

Alongside game campaigns, Goldtooth contributes shot-based effects and screen graphics to feature films. For District 9, it worked with Image Engine on alien mothership hologram and interface sequences. Its contribution to Ender's Game includes hologram graphics and digital displays.

Across these projects, the studio combines filmmaking with animation and effects production, supporting both self-contained promotional films and sequences integrated into larger games, films or episodic productions.
