frame:work is a community organization for creative video professionals working in live events, installations and virtual production.
our mission
frame:work seeks to foster communication between the artists, producers and engineers who create visuals for entertainment spaces. Our platform serves to empower the creative video community through inspiration, education and professional development, and to nurture the professionals of tomorrow.
frame:work vision
Creative video dominates live entertainment design as well as film production. Our community works in art installations, marketing activations and architectural facades. Creative video production has left the physical limitations of a screen and moved into the space that surrounds both physically and virtually.
The skills required to be successful in such a variety of work environments are diverse, change rapidly, and are regularly confounding to our clients. Roles defined for one production style don’t exist or have different responsibilities in another. Challenging work combined with an often challenged work environment leads to stress, mental and physical exhaustion, and budget strains. Yet even under these pressures, we create incredible art and advance our technology forward.
frame:work seeks to support the creative video community by creating opportunities to share our experiences and learn from each other. With such diversity across practice, and so many opportunities to innovate, we evolve rapidly through open sharing.
frame:work exists to foster community evolution through leadership building, new talent development, stronger business practices and community partnerships. frame:work’s success is our membership feeling empowered and understood for their contributions.
