ACHIEVEMENTS
AMONG OUR CLIENTS
PROUD TO WORK WITH
Sasha originally joined Framestore through our internship program. This program is highly selective and he stood out among many other candidates with a great project from his time at ArtFX.
He later joined the compositing team as a junior compositor and proved that he has a great eye for detail and composition. He picks up techniques quickly and soon became a trusted member of the team.
I absolutely recommend Sasha to any VFX studio looking for a dedicated and talented compositor to help them with a range of compositing needs, from classic 2D work, to challenging CG integration.
OLIVER ARMSTRONG - VISUAL EFFECTS SUPERVISOR
FRAMESTORE LONDON
Sasha joined Framestore at an extremely busy time to work on high profile, complex, and demanding shows.
He's done really well to enter such an environment as a fairly new artist and keep up. He had a great work ethic, is extremely passionate and eager to learn and progress. I look forward to working with him again in the future!
JONNI ISAACS - COMPOSITING SUPERVISOR
FRAMESTORE LONDON
Sasha's achievements are even more remarkable due to his disability (Sasha is a deaf individual).
English is not his native language so to be able to work in a team environment that relies heavily on communication is a huge testament to his skill, his determination and his passion for his craft.
AMY SMITH - GLOBAL DIRECTOR, RECRUITMENT & OUTREACH
FRAMESTORE LONDON
Sasha is completely deaf but it has never been an obstacle — neither for Sasha himself, as he approches his work with determination and clarity of purpose, nor students or instructors.
He has developed a distinctive and effective working style with deep focus, visual percision, and exceptional self-discipline.
His communication within the teams has always been clear and proactive, and his professionalism and autonomy consistently exceeded expectations.
ARTFX - SCHOOL OF DIGITAL ARTS
It has been incredibly lovely having Sasha on Paddington 3.
He is always cheery and positive which as a great influence on everyone else on the show. Sasha is always first to say good morning to everyone and continues to be very communicative throughout the day whether that's with leads, supes or production.
He is never afraid to ask questions or check in with production about his targets and it's always an absolute pleasure. His shot work has been fantastic and he always comes to the sessions prepared to present his work in the best way possible.
