The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back with this weeks second instalment of our 'Imaginary Friends' Special! Join VFX Supervisor Chris Lawrence and Animation Supervisor Arslan Elver, along with this week’s guest co-host, VFX Training Manager Sergio Gonzalez, as we take a deep dive into John Krasinski's latest project, which he both wrote and directed. In today's second part episode, we hear about what the workload was like working on Imaginary Friends, with the team creating the entire movie in just 10 weeks, adding 42 characters across 700 shots, all while supporting the director and handling the editing process. Plus, Sergio reveals the scene in the film that moved him to tears, and Arslan explains that in animation, every eye movement is intentional - nothing happens by accident! We delve deeper into a show where Framestore handled all the visual effects, showcasing what can be accomplished when our full range of creative services is brought together for a feature film - from the Art Department and FPS Team to the VFX crew! Before wrapping up the episode, Chris likens the editing process to "composing a symphony," and we ask Chris and Arslan whether they had imaginary friends as children. Our wonderful 'IF Special' wraps up this year's series of podcast conversations. The Framestore Podcast will be back in the New Year, but first, we'll be releasing a couple of year-end 2024 highlight episodes in November and December. Stay tuned, and thank you for tuning in throughout 2024!
