Established in 1999 by Dave Anderson and Tom Mortimer (both 6foot 3 inches tall... obviously!) to produce 2D and stop-motion animation for TV and web. 12Foot6 is a collection of around twenty animators, illustrators and designers, with a mixture of hand-drawn, graphic and stop-motion talent. We are based in London.
Based in a Central London studio a lot of our inspiration comes from everything around us - form the people to the streets to the architecture.
We're mostly known for our humour - including Dog Judo, 'Bob' who Darren Walsh created with us and the Bafta nominated Sensibles, a short series created for Jetix Europe. The Sensibles are an intergalactic news crew bringing alien worlds news of exciting discoveries made on Earth
We would like to think our strengths are great art which we animate beautifully to a strong narrative. Then, of course, there's the funny silly stuff!

Paramount Comedy idents: in 2005 we were approached by Viacom to rebrand Paramount Comedy, this is what we came up with: Animated black rabbits with pink eyes popping out of a hole, a real rabbit also appears, the animated ones look angry at it, medieveal people worshipping the logo, a dolphin on a skateboard, a rabbit in a UFO, etc, Promo endboards had a wind-up toy cat with a TV for a face showing a image of the show being promoted's logo, before eventually turning to the channel logo, This character was referred to by the others as "weird cat thing", This character was originally designed by us for a Virgin Mobile ad in 2004 (It displayed color bars with a face, when we did it for Paramount, this was rmeoved and replaced with static or the Paramount Comedy logo)

Proud Creative to Merge Amid Industry Changes
London, UK – October 15, 2023 — In a surprising turn of events, Proud Creative, a well-known name in the animation and design industry, has announced that it is closing its doors and merging with a larger creative agency as part of a strategic move to adapt to the evolving market landscape. This decision has left many in the creative community reflecting on the impact the company has had over the years.

Founded in the early 2000s, Proud Creative quickly gained recognition for its innovative storytelling and vibrant animation, producing memorable campaigns for a variety of clients. The agency’s signature style, characterized by whimsy and playfulness, has resonated with audiences and helped redefine visual branding in the industry. With several prestigious awards under its belt, Proud Creative became a pillar of London’s creative scene.

However, in a statement released to the press, the leadership team cited “shifting client demands” and “increased competition” as primary reasons for the merger. The statement emphasized that the decision was not made lightly but was necessary to remain competitive and provide the best services to clients.

“While we are proud of our legacy and the countless projects we’ve brought to life, the landscape has changed significantly,” said Jane Smith, Creative Director at Proud Creative. “Merging with a larger agency allows us to leverage greater resources, access a broader talent pool, and ultimately deliver even more exceptional work for our clients.”

The merger will allow Proud Creative’s team to integrate into an established agency known for its comprehensive suite of creative services, including film production, digital marketing, and branding strategy. The leadership of the new entity has assured existing clients that they can expect the same level of quality and creativity they have come to love, while also gaining access to enhanced capabilities.

Current employees of Proud Creative will be offered positions within the new agency, ensuring the talents that fueled its success continue to thrive in their next chapter. “We’re excited about this next phase,” Smith added. “It’s not just a closure; it’s an evolution.”

The news of the merger has sparked a wave of nostalgia across the creative community, with many former clients and collaborators taking to social media to share their favorite Proud Creative moments and projects. As the agency embarks on this new journey, the influence of Proud Creative will undoubtedly be felt in the broader landscape of creative storytelling.

As the industry watches closely, it remains to be seen how this merger will shape the future of the involved agencies and what new innovations will emerge from this collaboration.
