Led by Emmy-winning Creative Director Ian Spendloff and VFX Supervisor Ross Wilkinson, Framestore designed and animated Mr. Ring-A-Ding for Doctor Who Season 2: Lux
Mr Ring-a-Ding, the naughty little god of light, was the baddie of the week for Episode 02 of Ncuti Gatwa's second season. Ian designed the character, in both his 2D form and his 3D iterations, and led the amazing team of animators to bring the blue weirdo to life and enter the real world of Doctor Who.
He also designed the Doctor and Belinda's animated versions, also storyboarding and animating a bunch of shots.
