Two Framestore projects have been shortlisted for this year’s @thewebbyawards! The judges are clearly big GoT fans, because both of our nominees hail from Westeros: the ‘Beyond the Wall’ VR experience and ‘The Dead Must Die’ @magicleap experience. Congratulations to everyone involved!
These awards are voted for by the public so we’d love it if you could help us fill up the trophy cabinet by voting here:
