==History==
===Foundation===
Framestore was founded in 1986 by William Sargent and Sharon Reed, together with three friends.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.thetimes.com/culture/comedy/article/downton-abbeys-special-effect-on-framestore-0h7fd3w98 |title=Downton Abbey's special effect on Framestore |website=[[The Times]] |access-date=28 August 2020 |archive-date=20 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201020151351/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/downton-abbeys-special-effect-on-framestore-0h7fd3w98 |url-status=live |last1=Kelly |first1=Liam }}</ref> [[Tim Webber]] joined Framestore in 1988 and led the company's push into digital film and television, developing Framestore's [[virtual camera]] and motion rig systems. In 1992, Mike Milne started the [[CGI animation|CGI]] department, adding computer-generated imagery animation to the company's range of facilities.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lifetime Achievement Award |url=https://rts.org.uk/award/rts-craft-and-design-winners-2008 |website=Royal Television Society |date=24 January 2011 |access-date=11 November 2019 |archive-date=11 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191111160217/https://rts.org.uk/award/rts-craft-and-design-winners-2008 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Merger with CFC===
In 1997, Framestore acquired the Computer Film Company, which was one of the UK's first digital film visual effects companies, developing technology for digital film scanning, [[compositing]], and output. CFC was founded in London in 1984 by Mike Boudry, Wolfgang Lempp (now CTO at [[Filmlight]]) and Neil Harris ([[Lightworks]]). CFC's first film was ''[[The Fruit Machine (1988 film)|The Fruit Machine]]'', in 1988, which utilised early morphing techniques.<ref name=FRUIT>Rickitt, Richard (2000).
