Haunting, beautiful and unforgettable, Goldtooth Creative’s mixed media approach to the cinematic intro once again demonstrates why Goldtooth is at the top of its game.

Nothing summarizes that better than an updated company reel!!! Be sure to check out all of Goldtooth Creative’s latest work, including reels highlighting Goldtooth’s CG, Motion Graphics, Live Action and Visual Effects work. Watch for the cinematics reel coming soon!!! All hail Goldtooth!!!

Vancouver, B.C. – Goldtooth Creative Agency bursts back onto the scene in 2012 with its high-energy take on Square Enix’s Sleeping Dogs™, a live-action trailer that delivers the visceral thrills that tell the harrowing and gritty tale of one man’s mission to infiltrate the notorious Hong Kong Triad.

Currently in development at United Front Games in collaboration with Square Enix London Studios, Sleeping Dogs lets players take on the role of Wei Shen, an undercover police officer tasked with joining one of the most powerful and violent criminal organizations in the world. It is a role for which Shen is uniquely suited as aptly demonstrated in the adrenaline-pumping live-action trailer released February 8. Set in Hong Kong, the open world video game is scheduled for release in the second half of 2012.

Written, directed and produced by Goldtooth Pictures, the debut live-action trailer for Sleeping Dogs was filmed on location in Hong Kong and Vancouver with all post-production, VFX and CG work as well as the audio design and mix completed at Goldtooth Creative’s full-service production studio in Vancouver.

“We wanted to make this piece as authentic as possible without it feeling like just a facsimile of Hong Kong cinema,” said co-director Paul Furminger, who shared directing duties with Goldtooth president and creative director Kody Sabourin. “The game features a unique blend of martial arts combat. To emulate this in our trailer, we enlisted the help of Darren Shahlavi (star of Ip Man 2, Tai Chi Boxer), who choreographed the fast-paced fight scenes. Although we shot the fights in Vancouver, all exteriors were shot in Hong Kong. We think we have created a worthy homage to the cinema that has inspired filmmakers and action-lovers for decades.”

Goldtooth Creative Agency continues to raise eyebrows with its work on exciting projects such as the game trailer marketing campaign and cinematics for the best-selling Deus Ex: Human Revolution™.  Leading industry resource website, The Art of the Title Sequence, featured Goldtooth’s work on the opening sequence of Deus Ex: Human Revolution in January 2012. Appearing previously in magazines such as 3D Artist and Applied Arts as well as serving as the focus of a client video produced by industry heavyweight Autodesk, Goldtooth Creative continues to make an indelible impression on the industry and public alike.

Since its inception in July 2008, Goldtooth Creative has emerged as an industry leader in the development and creation of full marketing campaigns for top-selling video games produced by some of the biggest names in the industry. As well as being a full-service production studio producing award-winning VFX, CG, live action and audio production work for film, television and the web, Goldtooth is also a creative agency offering editorial, music composition and postproduction services, including 5.1-surround mixing and full colour suite capabilities. With its roster of writers, directors and producers, Goldtooth Creative engages with clients as a creative partner to develop marketing and in-game content. Truly a one-stop shop, Goldtooth offers every service from conception to completion. Clients include Electronic Arts, Square Enix©, Activision, Microsoft, Capcom, Disney and Warner Bros.

Vancouver, B.C. – It has been a banner year for Goldtooth Creative Agency with accolades rolling in for the studio’s creative involvement in the CG game trailers and cinematics for the upcoming PROTOTYPE® 2  and its award-winning game trailer marketing campaign for the best-selling Deus Ex: Human Revolution™.  The studio’s VFX work and musical score for the hit web series, Mortal Kombat: Legacy™ provided yet another example of the range and depth of Goldtooth’s technical expertise.

 The past 12 months was topped off with the Purity First live-action trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution receiving a nomination as Trailer of the Year from Spike TV’s 2011 Video Game Awards (VGAs).

For company founders Kody Sabourin and Tyler Weiss, this past year only provided a glimpse into what is still to come from this highly accomplished full-service production studio. Goldtooth Creative continues pushing boundaries to create full marketing campaigns and cinematics for AAA console games and provide seamless VFX, CG, live action filmmaking, musical compositions and audio production work for film, television and the web.

The studio’s extraordinary efforts culminated in the director’s cut of the Deus Ex: Human Revolution CG trailer, which was directed by Sabourin, being voted best game trailer of all time by GameTrailers.com users in October 2011.

Goldtooth Creative’s wide exposure to an international audience this year and the consistently high user ratings its trailers generate has upped the profile of this Canadian west coast success story in the eyes of publishers and studios alike. The result: high-profile trailers for some of the most anticipated game titles of 2012.

Featured in magazines like 3D Artist and Applied Arts and profiled in numerous newspaper articles as well as serving as the focus of a client video produced by the likes of industry heavyweight Autodesk, Goldtooth Creative made an indelible impression in 2011.

GameTrailers.com as well as Applied Arts magazine recognized the studio’s live-action viral videos, Purity First and Sarif Industries, respectively, which Goldtooth Creative also produced for the Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer campaign. The awards were the latest in a long line of accolades for the campaign including a nomination for Sabourin – in collaboration with Visual Works and Eidos-Montreal – from the Visual Effects Society for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Video Game Trailer.

Goldtooth Creative’s CG trailers for PROTOTYPE 2 premiered at San Diego Comic-Con and New York Comic-Con this year to widespread acclaim and excitement.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy, a web project that Goldtooth Creative contributed VFX, story editing and a musical score for during the first half of 2011, was subsequently picked up as a feature film by New Line Cinema this past September.

Since its inception in July 2008, Goldtooth Creative has emerged as an industry leader in the development and creation of full marketing campaigns for top-selling video games produced by some of the biggest names in the industry. As well as being a full-service production studio producing award-winning VFX, CG, live action and audio production work for film, television and the web, Goldtooth is also a creative agency offering editorial, music composition and postproduction services, including 5.1-surround mixing and full colour suite capabilities.
