A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Robert Allman is a visual effects supervisor at Framestore. He earned his MA in Computer Animation from London Guildhall in 1997 and began his career that same year at Mill Film. There, he contributed to major blockbusters including Gladiator (2000), Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). Rob later joined Framestore as a Technical Director, returning to the wizarding world to work on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) and leading CG sequences for The Goblet of Fire (2005). His career progressed further at Prime Focus, where he took on the role of CG Supervisor for projects such as Mirror Mirror (2012) and Poltergeist (2015). Rejoining Framestore, Rob played a key role in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), launching a long-running collaboration with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As CG Supervisor, he brought his technical precision to Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). His early pre-production work on Endgame was crucial in developing the machine-learning system used to create ‘Smart Hulk’—a testament to his innovative thinking and deep technical knowledge. Rob has since served as VFX Supervisor on Dolittle (2020), and high-profile titles including The Little Mermaid (2023), Wonka (2023), Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), and The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025).

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
