2019 BAFTA & Oscars

We are incredibly proud to share the news that two films worked on by Framestore's VFX teams have been nominated for a BAFTA in Special Visual Effects. Avengers: Infinity War and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald have been nominated, alongside Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One, which Framestore's Art Department created concepts for during preproduction.

Many congratulations to Framestore's own Christian Manz (Joint Overall VFX Supervisor) and Andy Kind (VFX Supervisor) who are named nominees for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

On the nomination, Manz says; 'This is fantastic news - we are over the moon! It’s an amazing honour and achievement for all of our artists. Our close collaboration with fellow nominees Stuart Craig and Anna Pinnock resulted in some unique and beautiful work. Congratulations all!'

We're also proud to have creatively collaborated on Disney's Mary Poppins Returns, which has picked up nominations for Costume Design, Production Design and Original Music. 

The news follows the announcement that four films featuring work by the Framestore team have been shortlisted for the Academy Award in Best Visual Effects at the 91st Academy Awards. Avengers: Infinity War, Christopher Robin, Mary Poppins Returns and Welcome to Marwen have participated in the nail-biting ‘bake off’, and, of the ten shortlisted films, five will make the nomination stage on January 22, 2019.
