Episode Synopsis

The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back this week with another fantastic new episode.

Every two weeks on Mondays, we welcome a special guest to the pod to answer questions about their inspirations, work at our studio, and career journey via the Framestore Podcast 'dailies' questions. Then, the following Thursday, we invite a guest 'co-host' from our global community to take over, engaging our guest in a deeper dive conversation for a valuable learning experience.

In this two-part episode, we meet Chris Blasko, our new Head of Production for Framestore Montreal.

Chris has been in the industry since the Summer of 2004 where he 'cut his teeth' as a VFX Production Coordinator at Sony Pictures Imageworks, then continued to sharpen his ‘VFX producer toolset’ with roles that followed at MPC, The Walt Disney Company, and Warner Bros Entertainment up until the fall of 2013. He then spent over 3 years in similar roles with emerging tech and immersive facilities Jaunt XR, and Subvrsive, before landing at DNEG Montreal at the end of 2019 where he stayed for almost 4 years quickly rising through the ranks to Head of Production.

Joining us as this week's guest co-host is Chloe Rodrigues, 3D Production Assistant in IA based in London. As a Bournemouth University graduate she quickly took on a role at Blue Zoo Animation Studio in the role of 3D Production Assistant, and then joined Framestore just a month before Chris this Summer. Chloe is also a non-executive board member with ACCESS:VFX the industry movement striving for increased diversity, inclusion and representation across visual effects, animation and games.
