Calling all collectors! We're excited to have supported the launch of the new Collector’s Meal, a special promotion honoring McDonald's most beloved keepsakes and characters. This nostalgic campaign brought together a six iconic IPs, including McDonald’s classics like Grimace, as well as favorites like Shrek from Universal’s DreamWorks, Mattel’s Barbie, and more! 🥤🍟 Sourced by tms, the collectible cups were made from Tritan or glass, depending on the participating market. Slate, tms' internal post-production team, also created 3D models of all 12 Collector’s Cups for this campaign: “We knew creating 3D models of all 12 McDonald’s Collector’s Cups would be a huge undertaking. It took a talented team to perfect all the lighting, transparencies, shadows, and highlights while making sure our render’s colors fit in seamlessly with the food photography. Achieving an amazing end result and seeing positive feedback from clients and customers across the globe is why we love this job,” said Jackie Avellar, VFX Supervisor at tms. 🎨 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gA_WE6qr #McDonalds #CollectorsMeal

tms had a wonderful time celebrating Ukrainian Independence Day at our London office. 🇺🇦 ✨ Throughout the celebration, tms colleagues shared heartfelt stories and traditions of their heritage, accompanied by a raffle, games, and traditional Ukrainian food. A special thanks to Iryna Barto for organizing a great event!
Why is the Ukrainian Flag blue and yellow? 🇺🇦 - What are the traditional dishes of Ukraine? - What is the traditional dress? - What is the national flower? - How beautiful is the language? - What is the national drink? - What is Ukraine the largest producer of? - Where is the deepest metro station in the world? - When is Ukraine Independence Day? If you don’t know the answer to all of these questions, then you were definitely NOT at tms London yesterday, where Iryna Barto shared so much of her home country’s heritage, history and culture – and to remind us that beyond the devastating turmoil currently in the country, there is still so much beauty and positivity to be taken. Not only did Iryna - a Kharviv native - give a pride filled presentation to the team, but she threw her heart and soul into the whole event so that everyone could experience a piece of her homeland. - Providing drinks - Cooking a range of traditional dishes for us to sample - Devising and running an interaction-driving competition, to help us to get to know each other better as well as her country - Securing competition prizes - Making the raffle prize earrings herself, with stones from her family home - Securing flavoured vodkas samples for all to take home - Negotiating discounts for us at local Ukrainian businesses - Bringing in picture books of Ukraine for us to see the country - And providing recommendations of where to eat and drink and support Ukrainian businesses – why not check them out for yourself… >>> Cream Dream Vegan Pastry Café (Bedford Street, London) >>> XIX Nineteen Restaurant (High Street, Stratford) >>> Mriya Neo Bistro (Old Brompton Road, London) These events never fail to be a unique and personal insight to those that work at tms, and inspire our workplace, our culture and the work we do for our clients. And, as ever, a huge thank you to those at tms that shared the time and support for such a great event – and really showing up for Iryna, at an important time for her. (As for the questions above… post your answers in the comments and see how much you know, or how much there is still to learn). 🇺🇦🌻🥉🌾🚇☀️🏪
