Framestore is collaborating with Razorbill (an imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group) and award-winning author Robert Paul Weston on his next book, The Creature Department. We've worked on a wide array of visual assets across different platforms to accompany the project, which "follows the adventures of Elliot and Leslie as they help the incredible creatures of DENKI-3000 make a series of wondrous new inventions in an effort to save not only their factory, but all of creaturedom!”
Ben Schrank, president and publisher of Razorbill, said: “Framestore is an astonishing special effects group that will lend their brilliance to a story written by one of our most gifted young writers, Robert Paul Weston. We cannot wait to see what they invent.” The book will be published later in 2013 but, excitingly, fans will have a chance to interact with a creature at Book Expo America and San Diego Comic Con. More information coming soon.
