FrameStore Employee Reviews

It was good to get a foot in the door working at a film studio for the first time. Coworkers were really nice. Didn’t work there for long but it’s mainly maintaining coffee stations, setting up breakfast, doing dishes, receiving and distributing mail, maintaining office supplies and fetching lunch. It was really cool to see the studio and talk to artists! And free breakfast was a plus. They offer unpaid training for beginner artist positions in the company. Pay could have been better but it’s a beginner job.

Pros

Studio life, opportunities, fun events, free breakfast

People are friendly

Compositor (Current Employee) - Montréal, QC - 12 May 2022

People works there have a good vibe which helps the communication, but it is a big company, so sometimes when you ask for help from IT / System, it will take longer than usual, and also it might be hard to negotiate your salary.Overall is still a good place to stay.

Professional Company with Top Notch Employees

Lighting TD (Current Employee) - Montreal, QC - 6 November 2020

Framestore has been one of the top companies I've worked for in the visual effects industry and I've worked at many in the past 10 years. They have a fantastic pipeline, great co-workers, and you really get the sense they value their artists.

Pros

Great Pipeline, Great Projects, Great Co-Workers

Cons

It's the VFX Industry so sometimes there's OT, but that's with any studio.

Framestore - senior animator review

Senior Animator (Current Employee) - Remote - 16 September 2020

So far, so good. Everything has been super smooth. My supervisor and coordinator have been great. The project is fun and challenging. The pipeline and tools are easy, work well, and allow me to focus on my job (instead of adding peripheral tasks). The only downside is that the contract is short.

Great Company

CG Supervisor - Pokemon Movie (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 8 February 2019

Framestore was great. Living in Montreal was not. We finally had to come back to the USA because my wife simply could not get Canadian Health Care, even though she was bed-ridden and in extreme pain.

Pros

Good company

Cons

Bad government
