The Carpenter's Son (2026)

Over six months, The Mill’s teams, working across Paris and Liège, delivered 125 VFX shots. The work included a CG snake, fire and smoke effects, digital body transformations, environment reconstruction, and the addition of supernatural elements.

The production highlights a fundamental relationship between two disciplines: 3D creates elements that cannot be filmed practically, while 2D compositing integrates them into the live-action plate to make them feel as though they belong there.

War reduced Japan to zero, and Godzilla plunged it into minus. Two years have passed since then, and the country has faced agonizing struggles to achieve recovery and finally reclaim its daily life.

Just as humanity managed to cling to a hard-won peace, a new threat strikes, crushing hope in an instant.

There is no third time. Everything ends here.

For the first time ever in a feature film, 4D Gaussian Splatting was brought to the big screen for James Gunn’s Superman - capturing volumetric actor performances to build an unstable, holographic message from Krypton.

Join Framestore CG Supervisor Kevin Sears as he pulls back the curtain on this technical milestone. In this deep dive, Kevin explores the real-world challenges of adopting an emerging toolset, training 4,600 images per second, and integrating a new 4DGS pipeline across our R&D, FPS, and VFX teams alongside the team at Infinite Realities.

From initial concept to final frame, learn how a cloud of points was transformed into photorealistic, emotional performances on screen.

A classic American story, brought to life for a new generation.

For East of Eden, Framestore’s New York team, led by VFX Supervisor and Executive Creative Director John Kilshaw, helped bring turn-of-the-century California to the screen through period-accurate environments and seamless visual effects.

From expansive CG landscapes and invisible period clean-up to creature work, fire, blood and muzzle flashes, our artists worked closely with the production team to build a world that feels authentic to John Steinbeck’s iconic story, while supporting Showrunner Zoe Kazan’s bold new vision for the adaptation.

As Framestore celebrates our 40th Anniversary, we’re taking a look back at some of our favourite projects. War Horse is an incredible example of a huge film production, massive set pieces, with scores of horses on location, with their welfare and safety prioritised at all times.

Clever filmmaking and sleight of hand was used for multiple shots: replication passes turned 60 riders into a cavalry 300 strong when comped together or a small field of reeds with hiding soldiers extended as far as the eye can see.

War horse Joey was built in CG for a carefully planned trench jump too dangerous for a horse and stunt rider to negotiate, with the digital takeover of a real horse and rider, delivering maximum impact.

Safety regulations also require horses to be mounted during on-set explosions. In some instances, the ‘patches’ left after erasing the rider to achieve a bolting, riderless horse, were cleverly covered by CG horses to mask them.

But one scene, the tank jump, captured in camera was under scrutiny in post-production reviews, the shot not quite working for Spielberg. Our team swapped in a CG Joey and at a following review, happy with the shot, Spielberg asked where the rushes had been found. On revealing Joey was digital, now he had the shot he wanted, Spielberg was happy to give it his seal of approval.

Aline by Valérie Lemercier (2021)

Aline is a French-Canadian drama film, directed by Valérie Lemercier and released in 2021. A fictionalized portrayal of the life of Céline Dion, the film stars Lemercier as "Aline Dieu", a Canadian singer who rises to international superstardom. Lemercier plays Aline at every stage of her life from childhood through to middle age, with her body and face digitally adjusted for age-appropriateness in post-production.

Our VFX teams worked during 6 months on 521 shots to bring to the big screen lots of emotions and songs - We guarantee you'll have a great time watching this film freely inspired by the life of Céline Dion!
