About

Your idea, animated properly.

Remember Kate is a boutique animation studio in Queensland that helps creators turn an idea into something people can see. Playful, irreverent and dark, and always finished.

The Remember Kate workstation: a Huion pen display running Moho, a studio mic, and a few figures keeping watch
The desk where it gets made.

The filter

Three words. All three, or it goes back in the drawer.

Playful

Fun to watch and fun to make.

Irreverent

Pokes at the thing it loves, and itself first. Warm, never a takedown.

Dark

The honest version of a story usually is.

The name

Hidden in it is K.A.T.E.

KKeep
AAnimating
TThat
EEntertains

A backronym, slightly daft, and the whole brief. Animation that doesn't entertain is a technical exercise.

Where we can help

From "I've got an idea" to "this is the show."

Development

Script, series bible, look development and pitch material. Your idea shaped into a package a funder or buyer can read in one sitting and get excited about.

Animatic and proof of concept

A pilot, an animatic or a short proof of concept that shows the idea moving, with the tone, timing and characters already working. The thing you hold up when you say "this is the show."

The people

Someone in your corner from the first idea.

Kim Allen has spent twenty years in the animation industry. He started Remember Kate to do the part he loves most: Keep Animating That Entertains. In practice that means sitting down with creators and working out how to make their idea come to life.

He comes in as a partner, not a vendor. You get honest feedback, a clear plan, and someone who cares for your project as a whole.

The proof is on the channel. Worlds Apart is two seasons, twenty episodes and forty minutes of finished animation, with a co-creator from the first idea and a team behind every voice. The Extinction Report is fifteen episodes of a cranky dinosaur reading the news.

The room is playful and dedicated. The jokes are often bad but the deadlines get met.

Craft, in public.

The writing, the reference, the animation, the wins and the dead ends. When people see the work behind a short, they stop assuming a machine made it.
