Watching an amazing chef prepare beautiful and delicious food is always exciting. And to film that process in a unique and engaging way to be shared in under two minutes was certainly a challenge. This series consisted of three videos highlighting various Thanksgiving (or anytime) meal courses that visually instruct the viewer to replicate the recipes.
“ "HAVING CREATIVE CONTROL OVER THE ENTIRE PROJECT, I CAN APPROACH PRODUCTION WITH HEIGHTENED FLEXIBILITY. THIS ENRICHES THE CREATIVE ASPECTS OF PRODUCTION BUT ALSO STREAMLINES THE OVERALL WORKFLOW, ENSURING A SEAMLESS TRANSITION FROM PRODUCTION TO THE EDITING SUITE.” ”
(Josh Woll)
The creative team wanted to showcase these how to videos in an overhead style to suit the vision of a number of food stylized videos you see online currently. By adding a distinctive visual effect that accelerates the video and then converting the frame rate, I was able to create a dreamy feel as the chef moves through the recipes. I had the privilege of working with Sommer Collier
from A Spicy Perspective, food stylist extraordinaire.
