Damien Stumpf is a France-born visual effects supervisor at Framestore whose career began in 2003 at the Parisian boutique studio BUF, where he started as a digital artist and swiftly advanced into VFX supervision. Early in his career, he became a founding member of Atelier VFX, gaining both creative and business experience; one of the projects he worked on there—La Chambre Bleue (2014)—was selected for the Cannes Film Festival lineup.
Following his time in Paris, Stumpf spent a year with Method Studios in London before relocating to Montreal to join MPC. There, he served in various roles, including as CG Supervisor on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) and Ghost in the Shell (2017), and as DFX Supervisor on Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and Aquaman (2018). He later took on VFX Supervisor duties for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) and Cruella (2021), collaborating closely with director Craig Gillespie on the latter.
In 2021, Damien joined Framestore’s Montreal studio, bringing over two decades of experience spanning independent and major feature work. At Framestore, he contributed his VFX expertise to the third season of BBC/HBO’s His Dark Materials (2019–2022) and Ms. Marvel (2022), and Disney’s live-action Snow White (2025).
His work on His Dark Materials (Season 3, 2022) earned him a nomination at the 2023 British Academy Television Craft Awards in the category of Special, Visual & Graphic Effects, a recognition he shares with colleagues Danny Hargreaves, Sam Chynoweth, Bryony Duncan, Russell Dodgson, and Eliot Gibbins.
