[FRAMED]: Laurianne Proud’hon, Lead Compositor, 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?
Being really bad at identifying celebrities.

Hiking on a volcano.

I can have high expectations.

Thoughtfulness.
You’re on the run from the law, where are you headed?
Reunion island, although it is rather too small to be the perfect hideout.

For the past few months, it has been Morgan Hardy for sure! We just delivered The Midnight Sky and it was fun teamwork.
