Identity, uniqueness, and warmth were the three keywords to start the creative process with, so I thought of a soft and warm light on a minimal photo set, made of a wooden countertop and a clean background. This was also to make the product stand out more by making it highly recognizable. A total of ten videos was shot with the same techniques and direction of photography between April and December 2021. This guaranteed a regular monthly publication on Instagram for the Italian and French audiences—the main targets of this editorial content. The videos produced became part of a broader and successful digital and social media campaign, giving the brand more engagement and strengthening the loyalty of regular and new consumers of the product.
In terms of cinematography, I opted to shoot with three to four cameras from different angles, to enhance the details of the food and product and the gestures of the model. Working alongside the in-house art director sharpened my creative eye and approach, and also built long-lasting relationships in life outside the set, making it an experience I wish to have more often. What is displayed above is a selection of moving stills from five out of ten videos I filmed. You can watch the complete series on Crema Novi's official Instagram page.
