“I’ve always admired the work of Framestore, their attention to detail, asset builds and exceptional animation and creature work,” says Lambert. “ With a reputation as a trusted client partner, solving creative challenges with the imaginative use of technology, Framestore is also known for its collaborative and supportive work culture. I’m looking forward to taking on fresh challenges and working with an ambitious team alongside visionary filmmakers to bring their stories to life.”

Jeremy Robert masterfully blends artistic flair and technical expertise. His portfolio boasts a wide array of VFX-heavy blockbusters like Blade Runner 2049, X-Men: Apocalypse, and acclaimed episodic projects like Twin Peaks. Joining from MPC, Robert’s recent contributions shine in the captivating adaptation of Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story and Jordan Peele’s suspense-filled Nope.

“Joining Framestore’s tightly connected community of global supervisors and specialists is really energizing,” explains Robert. “The cooperation across studios brings in an exciting mix of talent and expertise creating incredible opportunities for clients. I’ve admired Framestore from afar for many years so I’m definitely ready to get started.”

The delivery of Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon and the musical adventure Wonka, will mark the beginning of the studio’s next decade.
