The week of Captain Poppins (21.9.18)

Here for the trailers

Big week in Film, as we look ahead to hype season. First trailer drop of the week was the practically-perfect-in-every-way winter release, Mary Poppins Returns

Prompting a whole lot of traffic on this

We’re not mad though. The Poppins buzz was immediately backed by first glimpse action from Captain Marvel, set for release next March

Looking good, everybody 👏


Commercial success

Pleased to see our Flame skills put to use by the original gangsters of ‘You’re fired’, well done to London Advertising

There’s more 🔥 where that came from: continuing our work with UK supermarket ASDA, a fun-filled new campaign feat. Framestore Flame environments, props and paintings

Track of the week, now, then and always. Proudly presenting the all-new music video for Prince’s ‘Mary Don’t You Weep’, the official track to movie BlacKKKlansman, with grade by Simon Bourne. More on Insta


School’s in session

More for your creative brains to feast on: this week – a fashion week, conveniently – CFX and Modelling artists in Montréal learnt about the dynamics and physical properties of cloth and fabric

AOB

All you gotta know about artist and soon to be astronaut Yusaku Maezawa

GoT fans, I found you a new apartment building (and it’s an insane steal)
