Framestore expands creative leadership team

Both are experienced supervisors who previously worked at MPC on high-profile projects including Mufasa: The Lion King and Snow White.

Ledda joined MPC 15 years ago, initially as a Lighting Lead, rising to Head of Lookdev working on productions including Prometheus, 47 Ronin and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.  His supervisory debut on Disney’s Cinderella was followed by work on Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge, Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo and The Little Mermaid.

Blacker started his career at Framestore over 18 years ago as an animator on Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, and returns after 15 years at MPC.  He has 20 films under his belt including World War Z and Jungle Book, and has guided animation teams across Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Cruella and most recently Barry Jenkins’ Mufasa: The Lion King as Animation Supervisor.

“Patrick and Daniel join us at a pivotal time, as we embark on film productions that are both creatively ambitious and technologically demanding,” said Fiona Walkinshaw, CEO of Film & Episodic at Framestore.  “We know that they are more than up to the task and are really looking forward to seeing what they create.”
