Framestore Grows the Creative Leadership Team in London

Framestore welcomes VFX Supervisor Patrick Ledda and Animation Supervisor Daniel Blacker to the creative leadership team in London. Both seasoned supervisors join Framestore following their recent work at MPC on high-profile projects Mufasa: The Lion King and Snow White.  

With a PhD in Computer Graphics, Patrick Ledda is driven by a fascination with the convergence of creativity and technology.  Starting as a generalist at Terry Gilliam’s Peerless, Patrick joined MPC 15 years ago, initially as a Lighting Lead, ascending to Head of Lookdev working on high profile productions including Prometheus, 47 Ronin and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.  His supervisory debut on Disney’s Cinderella paved the way for boundary-pushing work on Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge, Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo and The Little Mermaid.

Daniel started his career at Framestore over 18 years ago cutting his teeth as an animator on Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, returning after 15 years at MPC. With 20 films under his belt including World War Z and Jungle Book, Daniel has guided animation teams across Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Cruella and most recently Barry Jenkins’ Mufasa: The Lion King as Animation Supervisor.

Blacker and Ledda join the visual effects studio in preparation for new projects that will reframe the possibilities of visual effects.
