Sig-a-Sig-ahh

Well well well, what a week it’s been in Vancouver. Framestore’s multifaceted dream team has been presenting, representing, recruiting and more on the floor at #SIGGRAPH2018. Kudos and thanks to all involved, it’s been quite the event

In the swiftest of sweep-throughs: those crazy fractals kids from LA were back, googly eyes and all (thank you Johannes Saam and Patrick Beavers)

Michael Ralla made a cameo for Foundry

Head of Effects Andy Hayes talked Houdini past, present and future in a panel with DNEG, Disney, ILM and Animal Logic

Andy was also the victim of this week’s FRAMED, take a mosey around his creative life right here:

Presentations also abound from Richard Hoover with our friends behind Blade Runner; and Manuel Gamito on Pathracing in Production 👏👏

Our recruiters were hot on the talent hunt, as always, and opened up our Instagram audience for an AMA – check out some of the best bits in Highlights

Congrats also go to Florian Brauch, whose grad film Hybrids won SIGGRAPH Best in Show, adding to its rack of awards accrued across the past year – get a load of those laurels 👏


Female force

We could not be prouder to see Maria Carretero and Jessica Vile in the mix in Free The Bid’s newly formed Women Colo(u)rists showcase. Free The Bid is doing phenomenal things to raise the profile of women in the creative industries, particularly advertising, where they have previously been underrepresented, to put it very politely – click, share, show them some 💗

While we’re dreaming of diversification: hats off to Emeric, Phieffer and Veronique for taking part in the inaugural ACCESS: VFX Montréal. The pan-industry event saw representatives from a host of local studios come together, to discuss opening up the talent pool
