Characters

It starts with a sketch

Before the CGI department begins any 3D modelling process, Framestore artists get to work on developing a subject’s personality and physique through illustration. This is where the magic begins.

Performance

At the heart of every project lies a performance, driving the narrative of the character work forward. From observations of natural behaviour through to nuanced dramatic delivery, oratorical fireworks through to the belly laughs of broad physical comedy: Framestore's understanding of performance runs deep.

Always in style

Framestore is world famous for its photoreal characters, however, no single style of design or animation is beyond its capabilities. Spanning full CGI to traditional cell animation, Framestore's artists work across a broad range of mediums, across all facets of design.
