This month, we a get a glimpse of what it’s like to be an Oscar-nominated animation supervisor at Framestore thanks to the amazing Arslan Elver, who was production animation supervisor on Paramount’s charming later spring feature, IF.
There’s no typical day for an animation supervisor, but it always starts with a good cup of coffee.
I need more coffee! This time a fabulous flat white. The talk of the day is football, and I discovered another Fenerbahçe fan in our barista, Marco.
Teamwork makes the dream work. I’m so lucky to come in everyday and get to work with such talented and passionate people.
I love doing acting references to create character performances and bring them to life. I think there’s an actor lurking inside every animator!
Some days, I get to go on set. This is me on John Krasinski’s IF doing some preparation for the Imaginary Friends’ retirement home.
Here is a beautiful shot from the movie with Lewis and Bea going to the IF’s retirement home, located underneath the swing ride in Coney Island
This is how I end most of my days: going home and commuting from central London under the city’s sunshine.
Sometimes, I get to attend premieres and witness the work of our talented team on the big screen. Always such a proud moment: I’m here with our amazing vfx supervisor, Oliver Armstrong.
