Framestore Boosts Production Team with Three New Arrivals
Framestore has boosted its advertising production team with three new arrivals. Senior Producer Anna MacDonald, Senior VFX Producer Alex Fitzgerald and Design Producer Niamh O’Donohoe have all joined the London Integrated Advertising department, while Heather Kinal has been promoted to Deputy Head of Production.
Arriving from The Mill in New York, Alex has worked with leading directors including Rupert Sanders, Ivan Zacharias and Jake Scott. He also has experience of long-form VFX, having worked on Les Miserables, Snow White and the Huntsman and Doctor Who. He will have a special focus on VFX-heavy commercial projects.
Anna brings more than ten years of experience to the department, having worked her way up to Head of Production at Golden Square. She has worked with brands including Sky, Aston Martin and the BBC, as well as the hugely popular commercials for YouTube stars the Slow Mo Guys.
Design producer Niamh started off working on live television broadcasts in her native Ireland before moving to London to work in the more creative world of VFX. After starting in Scheduling she became a producer at the Mill, where she spent four years. She will play an important role in overseeing the design team’s work and winning new projects.
Heather has been at Framestore for more than a decade, working on projects for global brands, such as Volkswagen, Virgin and Unilever, and collecting some loyal clients in the process. She recently branched out into new areas of the business, producing Fiat’s The Power of X VR experience. As well as continuing to produce, she will take a key role in the running of the department.
"We're very happy to welcome Alex, Niamh and Anna into our ever-growing production team and appreciate the new ideas and skills they bring to the mix. The promotion of Heather Kinal, a home-grown talent, to such a senior position is also great news and makes for a complementary balance in the team" said MD of Integrated Advertising, Helen Stanley.
