Framestore has been nominated for four awards at this year’s Emmys, with its boundary-pushing work represented across a range of styles and genres.
This year’s nominations demonstrate why Framestore is the world’s go-to studio for prestige television, breathing life into high-end productions that range from fantasy and sci-fi to acclaimed period drama.
The nominated projects are:
Avatar: The Last Airbender – Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Season Or A Movie
For the first season of Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series, our London and New York teams, led by VFX Supervisors Ross Wilkinson and Andy Zazzera, harnessed their VFX bending to breathe life into the iconic creatures from the Avatar universe. From Appa, to Momo and Hei Bai, our teams thoughtfully reimagined these characters for live-action, while staying true to the source material.
The Crown season 6, episode 603 Dis-Moi Oui – Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Single Episode
Framestore has been a key creative collaborator across multiple seasons of the renowned Netflix drama. For the sixth and final season, VFX Supervisor Ollie Bersey and his team crafted and enhanced a range of instantly-recognisable environments and iconic landmarks, as well as adding CG crowds and backdrops to key historical moments. This seamless, ‘invisible’ work helped engross audiences around the world in this timeless tale, and expand the scale and scope of the ambitious storytelling.
Fallout – Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Season Or A Movie
Based on the hugely successful video game, Amazon’s Fallout adaptation had an in-built army of fans champing at the bit to leave their Vault and explore showrunner Jonathan Nolan’s epic, irradiated wasteland. Led by VFX Supervisors João Sita and Laureline Silan and featuring work from both Framestore Pre-production Services (FPS) and the studio’s in-house art department, the team tapped the series’ darkly satirical tone and brought to life to iconic creatures: the Yao Guai and deeply disgusting Gulper. In Framestore’s hands, the end of the world has never looked so good.
Loki, s2 – Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Season Or A Movie
Building on incredible previs and postvis work courtesy of Framestore Pre-production Services (FPS), VFX Supervisor Matt Twyford helped deliver some of the most distinctive – and downright unsettling VFX moments for Loki’s second season. From the full-on body-warp of the ‘timeslipping’ effects to the unravelling of time and space presented by the ‘spaghettification’ sequences.
