Framestore

Not quite sure how we're at the end of 2024 already? We weren't either, until we stopped, took stock, and looked back at everything our artists, producers and technologists had achieved. This year we worked on over 250 ads, 54 film and TV projects and five huge rides. Throw in Oscar and Emmy nominations, VES and Annie wins and a Webby for best virtual experience and it's no wonder the year felt like a bit of a whirlwind. It's impossible to show off everything we've done, but this short reel shines a light on the kind of creativity and innovation that helps set Framestore apart. Congratulations and thank you to every single member of the global team - your talent, artistry and commitment continually help us to reframe the possible! #visualeffects #filmmaking #advertising #tvproduction #cgi #vfxproduction #vfx

Cornelius the cockerel returns with an epic reimagining. Collaborating with Director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. at MJZ and Leo Burnett we were entrusted to refine the look and character of Cornelius the cockerel whilst ensuring he remained instantly recognisable as the Kellogg's mascot. Achieving this involved preserving his signature Kellogg’s crown and iconic colours while reimagining him in a more photorealistic style—an approach that had never been undertaken before.
