What is a Runner?
Runners are the essential “bloodline” to the smooth operation of Framestore as a business.  Whether they’re providing assistance to our clients and employees, ensuring that our facilities and meeting spaces are clean, delivering messages or resources for our teams or simply making a cup of coffee, our Runners are integral to everything we do.

Do I need a visual effects qualification?
There is no formal qualification to be a Runner at Framestore. All of our Runners are able to demonstrate a passion and excitement for the post-production industry or an eagerness to learn. Showing an interest in visual effects through a portfolio, demo reel and/or qualifications would be a plus but not essential.

What do you look for in a Runner application?
If you are considering applying to be a Runner at Framestore then you will need to:

  • Be hugely passionate and enthusiastic – always ready to attack each task with a smile
  • Have great attention to detail and be ready to deal with any problem that might come your way (in-house or on-site)
  • Give 110% to the job and be prepared to spend a lot of time pounding the corridors/pavements – this is definitely not a job for a couch potato
  • Anticipate needs and work closely with other members of the running team to problem solve
  • Have a charismatic personality and be able to present yourself professionally and positively to anyone and everyone
  • Have a fabulous sense of humor!
  • Strive to be the best Framestore team there is
