A McDonald’s store made of gingerbread is something you will only see on Christmas. With this particular attention to detail, Friendly Fire created a winter wonderland as the perfect warm-up for the holiday season. The gingerbread store also serves as an advent calendar, promising a surprise or two – all, of course, made of gingerbread.
For the first time, the entire advertising material – TV, print and POS – was produced using a game engine: The Unreal Engine from Epic Games. “This real-time technology delivers the highest level of flexibility in creating sets and finding the best camera movement because we no longer need to struggle with render time. This is real value for both 3D artists and creatives,” says Roman Saravia, Head of Innovation at Friendly Fire (3D/CG work: Friendly Fire, Image Editing/Color Grading: Malkasten, Music: Florian Machek-Tomasch).
