Crowd TD Traineeship - Launchpad PRO (Hiring Immediately)
Please note: Due to project timelines and onboarding requirements, we can only consider applicants who already have the right to work in the UK. Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this traineeship.
The Role
Framestore is excited to launch Launchpad PRO: Crowd TD, a fully paid 8-week traineeship designed to give emerging artists hands-on training in large-scale crowd simulation for high-end Film & Episodic Studio projects.
Across the programme, trainees will complete:
4 weeks of structured classroom training, learning core Crowd TD principles, Houdini workflows, motion behaviours, and simulation fundamentals.
4 weeks of on-the-job learning with Framestore’s Crowd team, contributing to real internal briefs and pipeline tasks.
Those who successfully complete the programme will be considered for a Junior Crowd TD contract within our London Film team.
What You’ll Learn
Guided by experienced Crowd TDs, Supervisors and Leads, you’ll gain exposure to:
Creating and running crowd simulations using Houdini.
Building and customising Agent Definitions.
Motion variation, locomotion cycles and behavioural systems.
Integrating crowds into the VFX pipeline (Animation, Rigging, Mocap, Lighting).
Creative problem-solving for large-scale scene challenges.
Real-world shot workflows, troubleshooting, iteration and delivery.
Proprietary tools and crowd-specific production techniques.
How crowds work within a global, award-winning VFX pipeline.
This programme is designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and day-to-day production work, preparing trainees for the demands of a Crowd TD role on feature films.
