Framestore was proud to win this year’s BAFTA Television Craft Award for Special, Visual and Graphic Effects for His Dark Materials - the second year running the creative studio has brought home the award. 

The work took in 1400 shots and drew upon the expertise of some 450 Framestore staffers, from VFX experts and animators through to producers, engineers and editors. This season saw the worlds of Lyra Silvertongue and Will Parry expand in exciting new ways, with the heroes encountering new friends, new daemons and new dangers.

Framestore used deep fake technology in a ground-breaking anti-knife campaign to bring back Kiyan Prince, the schoolboy football prodigy who tragically died after being stabbed 15 years ago, as a virtual footballer. All money raised by the campaign will go towards The Kiyan Prince Foundation, the charity set up by Kiyan’s father to raise awareness about knife-crime.
