Framestore has named Kevin Young as Creative Technology Director within its Immersive team.
Based in London, Young will spearhead creative technology initiatives that explore new frontiers in real-time content, interactivity, and spatial user experience, spanning immersive installations and next-generation mixed reality..
Young began in the London music industry, where he designed online experiences for artists and comedy acts including Oasis and The Mighty Boosh. He went on to create innovation led film and television marketing campaigns for studios such as Disney, Fox, Lionsgate, E1, and HBO.
At The Mill’s London studio, Kevin became the company’s first Head of Creative Technology, leading an award-winning team across a wide slate of high-profile projects. He later joined Wētā FX’s Special Projects team in Wellington, New Zealand, where he worked on ways of pushing interactive storytelling using emerging technologies.
His work includes collaborations with HBO, The Guardian, Samsung, Ford, and Hyundai, with projects showcased at global stages such as Sundance, TriBeCa, The White House, The Future of Storytelling, and CES.
“Kevin’s ability to realise almost any creative vision with technical innovation makes him a powerful addition to Framestore’s Immersive team,” said Karl Woolley, Global Head of Immersive. “His track record of building award-winning experiences speaks for itself, and we’re thrilled to see where he takes our creative technology initiatives.”
Kevin Young added: “I have long admired Framestore’s diverse body of work, especially in the field of immersive and creative technology, and I’ve been so impressed with their commitment to evolving forms of entertainment. Our values seem completely in sync and I am looking forward to getting stuck in on some exciting projects with friends old and new.”
