Framestore

Paul King is the latest director to feature in "Directing the Invisible Art," a series of interviews with six very different filmmakers who have collaborated with Framestore. Each episode explores their approach to creating emotionally resonant and believable character performances through the craft of animation. Discussing the journey of "finding" Paddington, Paul King describes the explorations from initial drawings to the meticulous handcrafted animation that brings him to life through movement. He reveals the challenge of injecting the "heart of the scene" after the live-action shoot has wrapped, emphasizing that restraint is key to audiences falling in love with his character.

Alfonso Cuarón is the latest director featured in "Directing the Invisible Art," a series of interviews with six very different filmmakers who have collaborated with Framestore. Each episode explores their approach to creating emotionally resonant and believable character performances through the craft of animation. Alfonso Cuarón directs his animators with the same coaching he applies to his actors, focused on movement and intent. These conversations through a “ping pong of ideas” shaped the development of the Hippogriff in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." He also marvels at the unique bond between actor and animator in "Gravity," where Sandra Bullock and George Clooney’s performances were led by the animation itself in what is essentially an animated movie. Cuarón strives for "invisible" effects, seamlessly integrated, as exemplified by the groundbreaking CGI birth scene in "Children of Men," a complex delivery ahead of its time.
