💥Its here! The McDonald's Mini Showdown VFX Breakdown 🙌
🏒 We created fully CG, miniaturised versions of Auston Matthews and Conor McDavid and refined digital scans, that we captured on set, to give them a collectible figurine aesthetic.
🪄 To enhance the stylised feel of the spot, we animated the characters using stepped animation on twos and ones. The FX elements, lighting and ice spray were also designed to conform to this stepped style, requiring sophisticated solutions to ensure they matched the same stylised motion language as the characters.
✨The environment combined photographic projection techniques with detailed 3D modelling of seating, tables and background diners to create the sense of a scaled environment surrounding the figurines, as well as developing fully photo-real, CG food assets.
Let us know what you think!

Blood stains, car chase and crash, muzzle flashes and a pair of fairground rides built in 3D means 'Last Seen' grew into one of our biggest episodic jobs of the year.
Premiering on Apple TV September 9th, the six-part Australian thriller, stars @patrickbrammall (Colin From Accounts) @brendanbcowell and Maxine Peake. It follows a police dispatcher who takes a call from a girl he is certain is the daughter he lost eleven years ago.
Christian Schwochow directs, with VFX work on approximately 500 shots from our incredible Freefolk team.

Thanks to everyone who came to VFX Brew last week! Absolutely great to see some new faces and catch up with ones we haven’t seen in ages.
We started these informal coffee mornings to bring the longform VFX community together. The nature of the work - shoots, deadlines, busy and slow patches, means opportunities to catch up can be few and far between.
Many of you have told us how much you love coming to VFX Brew so we’ll keep them coming. Of course the flat-whites and 🥐 too!
Stay tuned - and get in touch if you’d like to attend the next one.

👉See what Freefolk’s resident film buff and VFX Producer, Robyn Guthrie, took away from this year’s BFI London Film Festival.
#lff #londonfilmfestival @britishfilminstitute
1. Opening Night - It’s one of the most important choices the festival has to. make. So what makes a good opening night film?
Anything that can create a big audience reaction, through tragedy, laughter or fear, is always a great experience for the cinema. I think Elsinore fits that bill. You know you’re going to get an incredible performance from Andrew Scott, and come out feeling a little more human.
Robyn Guthrie’s 5 Takeaways from The London Film Festival
#lff #londonfilmfestival #elsinorefilm #andrewscott
2. Animated films can really stick with you - Stop-motion film Wildwood produced by @laikastudios the team behind Coraline, had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival 2026.
Films I saw when I was younger such as ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ (2004 Japanese animated fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki) and ‘The Breadwinner’ directed by Nora Twomey, changed my perception of the types of stories that can be tackled in animation, and the cinema in general.
Robyn Guthrie’s 5 Takeaways from The London Film Festival

3. You can’t see it all! - With 251 titles in 12 days - I had to make tough choices. I was really excited to see Possible Love (Ga-neung-han sa-rang), directed by Lee Chang-dong, and it didn’t disappoint. Was a shame to miss 14th as I love everything Ava Duvernay does.
Robyn Guthrie’s 5 Takeaways from The London Film Festival
4. Storytelling has expanded - The London Film Festival now shows series and immersive work. If I had my choice of a TV series, Barry Jenkins The Underground Railroad is a really beautiful cinematic experience that I feel like deserves its place on the big screen.
Robyn Guthrie’s 5 Takeaways from The London Film Festival
5. Great way to discover new British films.
On Falling by Laura Carreira was screened in competition at the 2024 London Film Festival. It has stuck with me ever since I watched it. It’s about a warehouse worker in Scotland, dealing with lonel
