Robert Winter Biography, Movies & Filmography

Robert Winter is a visual effects supervisor at Framestore. He began working in visual effects in 1997 at Sony Pictures Imageworks, where he contributed to films such as Starship Troopers (1997), Hollow Man (2000), Hancock (2008), and Alice in Wonderland (2010). In 2014, Winter moved to MPC (Moving Picture Company), where he led effects work on high-profile projects including Suicide Squad (2016) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019). During his time at MPC, he also supervised the visual effects on Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017), where he spoke about how his team used crowd simulation and bespoke animation tools to bring realistic animal behaviour and large crowds to life. In 2018, Winter joined Framestore, a major visual effects studio, and became the VFX supervisor on Lady and the Tramp (2019). On that project, he and his team faced the challenge of balancing realistic quadruped performance with emotional expression, especially in sequences like the iconic spaghetti dinner. At Framestore, he has also overseen complex large-scale effects, for example, on Moonfall (2022), where his team built a highly detailed digital moon, simulated its destruction, and designed a nano-swarm.
