About Kazoo Creative
Kazoo Creative was an independent London-based boutique working across visual effects, animation and motion design for video games, television and advertising. Its projects combined character animation, cinematic storytelling and specialist factual graphics, with work for publishers and broadcasters in the UK and internationally.
The studio developed game trailers, in-game introductions, animated tutorials and promotional artwork. Its production capabilities covered concept development, storyboards, modelling, look development, animation and compositing, allowing it to contribute both creative direction and finished imagery. Alongside full CGI productions, it provided specialist support such as matchmoving, rotoscoping and digital stereo compositing.
Games and cinematic production
For Sony’s Little Big Planet on PSP, Kazoo designed and animated 60 in-game tutorials featuring Sackboy. Its other game work included cinematic introductions for the Wii version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, cinematics for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World at War, and character animation for Doctor Who: The Gunpowder Plot with Sumo Digital and the BBC.
Kazoo also conceived and directed cinematic marketing productions. It acted as creative agency and production studio for the Anno 2205 E3 reveal trailer and intro movie, produced CGI trailer work for Panzer General Online, and created the full CGI announcement trailer for Ride to Hell: Retribution. Its contribution to Rango extended to visual design and artwork for the official online game.
Broadcast and factual graphics
The studio collaborated with factual television producers, including Renegade Pictures, on visual effects, reconstructions and explanatory animation. Productions included Channel 4’s Inside Incredible Athletes, Discovery’s Who Was Jesus?, and The Hogan Twins, also known as The Twins Who Share a Brain. Further broadcast work included graphics and data visualization for Drugs Live: The Ecstasy Trial, alongside effects for The Food Hospital and Bear Grylls: Wild Weekends.
The business wound down in the late 2010s. Its operating company was formally dissolved in May 2023.
