Napoleon Creative

Napoleon Creative is an independent London-based video production company and animation studio founded in 2006 by producer, director and author Gavin Ricketts. It helps businesses communicate complex products, technical propositions and institutional information through film and animation. Its work focuses on B2B communications, including enterprise software, corporate messaging and content for professional and educational audiences.

The studio combines live-action filmmaking with animated storytelling. Film production includes corporate interviews, executive presentations, customer testimonials, brand films and case studies. It also produces conference documentation, event recaps and in-conversation films. Teleprompter-assisted filming supports executive pieces to camera, while bid and pitch videos help businesses present their proposals for corporate tenders.

Animation and creative development

Animation capabilities span 2D and 3D character work, whiteboard explainers, kinetic typography, animated logos and 3D visualization. Software demonstrations and product explainers translate technical features and business propositions into visual narratives. Scriptwriting, creative treatments and storyboarding support the development of these productions before filming or animation begins.

The studio works across technology and SaaS, professional and financial services, education, healthcare and charitable organizations. Its reported projects include digital manufacturing animation and recruitment films for Capgemini, a software customer testimonial for Seequent, and promotional content for Cranfield University. Other work includes exhibition and project content for the Natural History Museum, awareness videos for SameYou and educational films for Jigsaw Trust.

Production and delivery

Post-production services include editing, audio mixing, voiceover casting and recording, colour grading, and multilingual subtitling and localization. Finished content can be formatted for websites and social platforms. The studio also offers video distribution strategy, video SEO and guidance on executive social publishing, connecting production with the practical requirements of releasing content.

Although based in London, Napoleon Creative serves clients across the UK and internationally, with filming assignments reported across Europe, Asia and North America.
