On the trail
Deep breaths… we have THREE trailers to share from the wonderful world of film
From Comic-Con, the latest trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Shout out to the team: Creative Director Christian Manz (who is overall VFX Supervisor on the film alongside our good friend Tim Burke); the crew stationed over at Leavesden; and the artists across London and Montréal who have made these wonderful images come to life. Looking 👌
An extended peek of the cinematic bear hug that is Christopher Robin… out NEXT WEEK in the US and Canada 🐻❤️

The Flamestorm Strikes Back
Match report from Cap’n Smith:
Having just scraped into the playoffs, in 8th place after a tough season, Flamestorm drew the top team and Division 2 champions the ILM ‘Rebel Bases’. Going into this game they’d only lost only one game this year… Now they’ve lost two!
The whole Flamestorm smashed it, managing to bat through the order in innings 1 and 2 and winning the game without needing to bat in the 7th. Well done everyone involved the outfield play was immense this week I’m a very proud captain. MVP this week went to Jordan Wilson for showing massive dedication and rolling back into the field shortly after taking a ball to the face, how he survived no one nose!
Our semi-final will be played August 9th in Regent’s Park, opposition TBC. If you would like any more info about softball please contact adam.smith@framestore.com
Shoop shoop
Time to escape the endless chat of our ongoing heatwave with thoughts of the French Alps (dreamy). London Framestorians can sign up for a winter holiday to La Plagne for a week of glorious ski or boarding in early March 2019. For more info, contact Brooke or sign up here
We could be heroes
If we vote for each other…is all I’m saying. Staff Awards are BACK. For the uninitiated, this is Framestorians’ quarterly opportunity to crown and reward the prom kings and queens of their respective offices, for such qualities as work ethic, artistic talent, and/or selection of desk snacks. The ballot box is found à la Intranet; you’ve got three votes, use them well
