[FRAMED]: Mayuresh Bhagawan Powar, Compositor, MUM

[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?

Once I did the worst prank with my school teacher…

What was your last brush with danger?

I had just learnt how to drive a car, pulled out of a parking lot, and hit the accelerator instead of the breaks. Luckily, I didn’t hit anyone!

Your last brush with greatness?

I was in a hospital and saw a man who couldn’t pay for his expensive medical bill and I gave him the little money I had on me. After seeing this, the doctor waived the balance on his bill.

Your worst character fault?

I trust anyone immediately…

If you had taken a different path, what would you be doing now?

I would be a professional football player.

Who’s your partner-in-crime?

My older brother.

What’s your favourite movie/TV show and why?

Inception is one of my favourites because I love thriller movies. This movie has an amazing script and execution. Most importantly, I am a huge Christopher Nolan fan.

I recently bought a spacious flat in Mumbai. This was one of the biggest dreams of my life.

Cooking.

The DREAM project would entail:

It would be great to work on an ocean, underwater, or jungle sequence including creatures, ships, and other objects. These would be fun CG environments to work on.

This week I learnt that:

I learn something new every day but this week i learnt some new things in our shotreview tool.

What’s your current view?
