Framestore Creative Director Christian Manz took the reigns as overall VFX Supervisor on Warner Bros.' Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, alongside long-time collaborator Tim Burke. Reuniting the studio with David Heyman and David Yates, Framestore had an integral part to play in the overall creative process from pre-production onwards. Framestore's Pablo Grillo headed up development of all of the key Beasts as the film's Animation Director, whilst concepts and creatures were developed by Framestore’s Art Department.
