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

In our second part, we continue to celebrate the stunning visual effects in TED Season 1 where Framestore's Melbourne studio reunited with Seth Macfarlane, a decade after TED 2, to create a prequel set in 1993 following the early exploits of sentient teddy bear Ted and his time with the Bennett family in Massachusetts.

Joining us on this weeks pod are:

VFX Supervisor, Glenn Melenhorst
Head of Animation, Nick Tripodi
VFX Producer, Pippa Sheen
CG Supervisor, Sam Doolan

Nick, Pippa, Sam and Glenn share their insights into the team dynamics working on the show, where the creative influences were coming from, how Production saved the day and the key elements that make the show work so well. Additionally, they acknowledge the evolution of the Ted 'playbook' and the science of 'bong simulation'.

We get into the new learnings the team gained from working on Season 1, a rare look into the motion capture process when recreating the character of Ted, plus what dailies meetings were like with director, Seth Macfarlane. We also get into some of the amazing lighting work displayed in this season, and the often unappreciated, invisible art of visual effects.

Enjoy!
