VFX Supervisor | Christian Mänz
Christian is a VFX Supervisor with over 20 years of experience in the industry, accumulating four BAFTA and an Academy Award nomination for his work in feature film. He joined Framestore in 1997 after training as an illustrator, working as a compositor on Dinotopia and Space Odyssey. With Mike Newell’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Chris Weitz‘s The Golden Compass, he led the compositing teams with great success.
His work for the studio followed on from his great success as a Framestore VFX Supervisor, which included Bafta and Oscar nominations for bringing new life to Kreacher and Dobby in David Yates’ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 2010. He has most recently collaborated with Director Dean DeBlois on Universal’s ‘How To Train Your Dragon.’ This complex, animation-heavy project drew on Christian's extensive experience crafting richly-imagined worlds, thrilling action sequences and nuanced animated characters - something he is well known for having led the VFX on all three of David Yates’ ‘Fantastic Beasts’ films for Warner Bros.
