CHRISTMAS WINDOWS, HAMLEYS, LONDON

November 2019

Alpine outdoors theme for TY 

A snowy alpine scene was delivered for Christmas with TY toys across all windows having festive fun, collecting a Christmas tree, enjoying their Christmas dinner al fresco and congregating around a camp fire. The windows capture the imagination with plenty of movement using clever mechanical animation as  well as specialist lighting and effects. In one window a wooden 3D log cabin with an open door shows the false perspective of the internal scene creating a sense of warmth with the inside featuring a fire-place and mantel. 

Other windows include a second miniature version of the 3D cabin with the TY characters feasting on a Christmas dinner with each piece of food individually hand sculpted by craftsmen in the Propability workshop. A Tipee window shows the characters around a camp fire singing carols and swaying from left to right. The campfire was cleverly created using a projected fire effect behind a piece of acrylic. Finally, a further window shows an oscillating pick-up truck moving back and forth, and suggestively showing the TY characters are heading off into the woods to collect their Christmas tree from the forest!
