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.

Our special guest this week is Martin Macrae, Head of the Art Department at Framestore.

Martin began his career as a successful commercial artist, working for over a decade in the advertising and publishing industry. A move to Framestore followed, where he’s been for the last 23 years running the art department. 

He’s been credited on huge shows that include Blade Runner 2049, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Guardians of the Galaxy, Beauty & the Beast, Avatar, Ready Player One, and loads more!

Our co-host for this conversation is Fern Hodgson, Production Manager in the Art Department. An Escape Studios 'Escapee', and professional photographer, Fern joined the team in the fall of 2016 and is the backbone of the art department.

Episode 29 - Part 1: Martin Macrae

A learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore! 

Every two-weeks we present a conversation in two halves!

Part one - the Framestore Podcast Dailies! Each week we invite a guest to our regular ‘dailies’ session. Set questions designed to find out what makes our guests tick, what they do at our studio, their career journey so far and all manner of advice, tips and tricks. 

For our second portion, arriving later that week, we hand the reins over to a guest co-host, a member of our global community who stands to learn a lot from the experience who engages our special guest into a deeper dive conversation. Arguably a more technical discussion depending on who we have on the pod.

Also, check out 'The Framestore Dailies' Spotify playlist, where each guest and co-host share two tracks from their most loved 'music-to-work-to' artist 🎧
