The award-winning visual effects team at Timber is back at it again, this time working with Wendy’s on a spring commercial campaign, showcasing the “Fifty-Cent Frosty” and the new “Made to Crave” Chicken sandwiches. Introducing color in a world of gray, the campaign calls for an “upgrade from basic” that can only be found in the new menu items.
