[FRAMED]: Clémentine Berezoutzky, Production Coordinator, MTL
[FRAMED] exists to shine light on Framestore’s most fascinating cast of characters: its people. Presented with a probing list of questions and a demandingly short deadline, this feature puts the hopes, dreams, and desktops of our MVPs on the digital wall, for all to see. Welcome to [FRAMED].
What are you guilty of?
Taking six weeks to fill in this questionnaire.
What was your last brush with danger?
Last time I had a Redbull.
Your last brush with greatness?
Also the last time I had a Redbull.
Your worst character fault?
I love starting the following debate in my production teams: Is it pain au chocolat or chocolatine?
If you had taken a different path, what would you be doing now?
Tanning on a beach.
You’re on the run from the law, where are you headed?
I’m not crazy! If I want to keep my freedom I won’t reveal that.
Who’s your partner-in-crime?
I’m enough trouble on my own. There are too many chances of getting caught if I have a partner.
What’s your favourite movie/TV show and why?
Harry Potter. Anyone thinking the opposite is a muggle.
Your greatest achievement?
Getting my mom’s cat (who hates everyone) to love me. This took me three years but I made it eventually!
Most valuable skill?
I can easily read people and have great adaption skills.
Go on, say something bragging:
I’m going to Central America in January while everyone else will be stuck in snow storms in Montreal.
Name your vice/pet peeve?
People who lack initiative.
The DREAM project would entail:
Reworking with the EXACT same production team as for Lady and the Tramp.
Your career highlight to date:
Definitely Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
This week I learnt that:
Crocodiles can’t stick their tongue out of their mouth. They have a membrane that keeps it stuck in place.
What’s your current view?
Sadly, a white wall.
Give us a desk tour!
Nothing crazy: White desk, two monitors and a phone charger.
What do you need to work on the daily?
More sleep.
Framestore is, to you, in three words:
Opportunity, great people and Friday treats (sorry that is more than three words).
Best thing about your work environment?
When working at home, being able to sleep more in the morning. When at the office, going out for lunch and beer Fridays.
Framestore is great at:
Creating pretty images and a great place to meet amazing people.
Favourite artform?
Music.
Favourite image?
Fictional character you’d like to hang with?
Voldemort to try and understand how he ended up this way.
Happiness looks like:
No stress, sun, beach and free drinks.
If not here, then where?
Either by a beach or in New York.
What do you think of too often?
My next holiday.
And not enough?
Not checking the weather and then either overdress or underdress and regretting my choice as soon as I step outside.
Couldn’t live without:
My friends, family and chocolate.
If you ruled the world:
We would have two days work and five day weekends.
Clémentine Berezoutzky, you’ve been [FRAMED].
