Episode Synopsis
The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back 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.
Our special guest this week is Creative Technology Director Manon Dave!
Manon is a product designer, inventor, musician, and creative technologist known for leveraging technology to create immersive experiences for the entertainment and education industries. He was behind two of TIME Magazine’s Top 100 Inventions of 2022 and has appeared on the list five times. Over his decade-long career, Manon has received numerous awards for innovation and design, including CES, iF, and Red Dot awards.
He has led product development for innovative UK startups like ROLI and Kano, with his products featured in Apple stores globally. As a creative director, Manon has worked with clients like Mercedes, HBO, and Christian Dior. In 2023, he became Artistic Director of TED Tech.
In music, Manon has co-written songs with will.i.am, PJ Morton, and Idris Elba, and produced for UK rap artist Che Lingo. His music has been featured in NBA2K, FIFA, and Apple ad campaigns. He also advises leading musical artists and is a published songwriter and producer with Universal Music.
Our co-host for this conversation is Technology Coordinator, Patricia Lauzon.
Patricia joined Framestore Montreal on reception in November 2019, then quickly moved into a Runner role, and then the Systems Support team where she’s been since September 2020.
A graduate of the NAD, School of Digital Arts, Animation and Design, where she studied 2D and 3D Animation, Modelling, Texturing and Rigging, Patricia is the perfect co-host for this weeks podcast.
We get into the fascinating career of Manon, a trailblazer whose journey spans from music production to product management. We discover what inspired Manon to navigate such varied roles and industries, and gain insights into the evolving intersection of art and innovation. With a rich background in both music and technology, Manon shares thoughts on the future of creativity in the age of AI and machine learning.
Manon shares his latest work on the inspiring film '1 in 100 Million,' celebrating the Refugee Olympic Team for Paris 2024. We discuss his sources of inspiration, his amazing mentors and personal journey managing imposter syndrome. Despite his many roles, including shaping the future of technology and creativity at Framestore, Manon remains humble and grounded.
