An Oscar-winning creative firm, Framestore employs cutting-edge talent and technology to produce premium images for all platforms. Hollywood studios, alongside advertisers, ad agencies, production businesses, and video game developers, are just a few of the clients that Framestore partners with.
In addition to being known for its widely acclaimed visual effects, Framestore has more recently established itself as a leader in the digital industry by emphasising the potential for immersive involvement offered by interactive visual effects.
