Creative studio Framestore celebrates 5 VES Award wins

Framestore celebrated five wins at the Visual Effects Society (VES) awards ceremony, including the prestigious Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature award for The Midnight Sky. 

Fiona Walkinshaw, Framestore’s global managing director, Film, said: “The VES wins for The Midnight Sky, The Crown and Project Power are a real testament to the craft, creativity and technical excellence our teams brought to their respective projects. These successes also highlight the sheer diversity of projects we work on, from George Clooney’s thoughtful sci-fi epic The Midnight Sky to the eye-popping, hyperkinetic action of Project Power and on to the seamless invisible FX required for a period drama like The Crown. My congratulations to the winners, their teams and their fellow nominees, as well as to our clients for all their VES successes this year.”

Framestore’s other VES Award wins for 2021 were: Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Photoreal Episode – The Crown, Outstanding Model in a Photoreal or Animated Project – The Midnight Sky, Outstanding Effects Simulations in a Photoreal Feature – Project Power and Outstanding Compositing in a Feature – Project Power.

The creative studio is currently in the running for this year’s Best Visual Effects Oscar and Outstanding Visual Effects BAFTA for its work on The Midnight Sky.   

The studio has a slate of major film and episodic projects on the horizon, including Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness and The Matrix 4.
