Futon

Integrating the creative potential of Generative Ai into a high-end production environment takes more than a collection of standalone tools—you need a secure, enterprise-wide solution. Framestore’s global operations involve distributed teams working across different time zones and jurisdictions, each serving unique stories and responding to rigorous client notes. This creates a massive challenge: how do you stay at the cutting edge of technology, providing Ai capabilities to thousands of artists while maintaining absolute security and contractual compliance on a global scale?

Futon is our answer—a robust platform approach designed to provide safe, secure, and compliant access to Generative Ai across the entire company. Hosted entirely on Framestore’s secure infrastructure, it acts as a centralized gateway that bridges the gap between the latest Ai research and our worldwide production pipeline. By utilizing a sophisticated profile-based system, Futon manages access at the project, department, and user level, ensuring that Gen Ai is only deployed where and when client permission has been explicitly granted.

Futon puts powerful pixel-based workflows—such as image extension and complex paint-outs—directly into the hands of our global talent. It takes the power of Generative Ai and puts it safely at the command of our artists.  The result: an enterprise-ready platform that empowers our distributed teams to balance innovation with total security.
