VFX veteran heads to Vancouver, where he’ll guide the studio’s creative and technical efforts.
Framestore has named Arek Komorowski as VFX supervisor at its Vancouver studio, where he will work with top directors to determine the best creative and technical approaches for producing visual effects. Having most recently served in the role at Pixomondo, the industry veteran brings over 20+ years of industry experience. His latest projects included Roland Emmerich's sci-fi movie Moonfall.
“We’re thrilled to be welcoming Arek to Framestore,” shared Naomi Stopa, Head of Studio, Vancouver. “Arek is a highly talented and creative mind, and he joins us as we grow and strengthen our Vancouver team. I look forward to having him as a strategic partner, bringing his extensive experience of successfully leading large and complex projects for the world’s biggest studios to guide our team to deliver extraordinary images and support our clients’ vision.”

He previously spent four years at Method, which has since been integrated into Framestore, supervising titles including Spider-Man: Homecoming and Captain America: Civil War. He began his career as an artist, first in paint/roto and then as a compositor at several VFX studios, including MPC, Cinesite, and Weta Digital.
“I am incredibly honored to join a world-leading VFX studio that I have always admired,” said Komorowski. “Framestore produces outstanding work on a wide range of different projects. I look forward to the variety of creative challenges that the projects at Framestore will bring. Working at Framestore is also a great opportunity to learn from the studio’s vast expertise, from its world-class talent team and experts to its cutting-edge technologies.”
