🎥Through our lens, we empower the Food & Drink innovators that are shaping our future.

To ensure we get your purpose-driven story out there, we have a carefully crafted production plan.

Production includes;
✔️Site set up and safety checks
✔️Directing
✔️Cinematography & Aerial Cinematography
✔️Photography
✔️Sound Recording
✔️Client coordination
✔️Production management
✔️Client sign off meeting to ensure all footage has been captured
✔️Post shoot report sent to client

📹All equipment is double-checked before the shoot to ensure that all lights, sound, cameras, lenses, batteries, stabilisers, and stands are operational and safe. We then scout the shoot location indoors and out to understand the light conditions when we arrive.

Because of the inconsistency of light and wind sound outside, the majority of the interviews are shot indoors where we set up two cameras. Having these two cameras set up aids us in making the highest quality edits during the editing stages.🎬

🔆Depending on the situation, we use two or three lights, and always have two sound sources. We then do a final composition check before bringing the talent/subject in to make sure there's nothing in the frame that isn't relevant.

We always plan to shoot B-roll to tell the story in greater depth. And to provide that cinematic aesthetic, B roll can be shot in slow motion. We prefer to take well-composed images and use our stabiliser to move or follow subjects. We also enjoy shooting B-roll from the air with our drones to get those aerial overshot.✈️

Gutsy storytelling powered by purpose. 📜

Over the last three years, we've worked hard to build a mission-driven, creative cross-functional production team.

If you're a Food & Drink company on a mission, we have the tools to tell your story with the world, whether it's through long form documentaries or short form TV commercials - branded highlight films or product advertising for social campaigns - we’ve got you covered. 🍜🥃

So how do we actually go about telling these food and drink stories that prioritise people and the planet? Well, planning our strategy is critical to our success. Onboarding, pre-production, production, and post-production are the four stages of this process.

1️⃣Onboarding is the first step we take. This includes;

✔️Getting the project set up on Notion, our project management tool
✔️Introducing all the stakeholders involved in the project
✔️A meeting to discuss and set the project plan / objectives
✔️A workshop to discuss media strategy (including audience, content, channels and distribution)

We are strong believers that as creative professionals we should not offer a solution without first fully understanding and diagnosing the root cause of that problem.

So before we dive into any storytelling or mood boards, or even before we look at a camera, at the start of each project we first look to understand the outcome/goal. It ensures that we focus on what creative ideas need to be planned or produced.

We have designed these initial workshops to create space to get to your core goal. For us to explore project deliverables with key stakeholders in your business, but also for us to challenge each other, uncover new insights and for us to make decisions on project actions. 💬

Collaboration & co-creation is how we get the most out of our clients and ourselves.🤝

Our purpose. 🌍🎥

The pandemic left us with a fire in our belly, and opened our eyes to the amazing work that businesses are doing globally to create a more sustainable and regenerative food system, including tackling key issues such as food poverty, food waste, and climate challenges.

Our vision has crystallised over the past few years. We now have clarity that our purpose is to share the stories of these brave innovators, using story-led video and content to accelerate their impact on the world, and play our part in giving humanity a fighting chance to reverse the damage we have caused on our planet and its inhabitants.

So in 2021, with just our cameras and a dash of creativity, we set out to find these innovators.

Through our lens, we are doing just that, telling the stories of Food & Drink innovators that are shaping our future.

From alternative protein start-ups to vertical farming.

From beer with a purpose to coffee that cares.

From community led education programmes to plastic free supermarkets.

2021 saw us work with over a dozen mission driven food & drink brands to tell their stories.

Whether it’s a long form documentary or a short form TV advert. A branded highlight video or product ads for social campaigns. We have worked hard over the past 2 years to build a cross functional production team that is mission driven and bursting with creativity.

When the odds are stacked against you and fear is kicking in. You have to pause for a moment and ask yourself if it's worth it. But your vision of a better future and relentless passion and drive compel you to continue.

Now that some of the hospitality restrictions are being lifted, you may be looking to find fresh ways to entice your guests back to your restaurant or cafe. The Medialiciously team are here to help with some perfect plating tips:

This is the simplest, most important tip regarding plating – professional prop stylists will almost never use a dinner plate. Nine times out of ten (unless it’s a rib-eye steak) we choose salad plates.

There are two reasons for this.

Number one, a smaller plate both simplifies a mass of complicated ingredients, such as pasta, and allows you to get a tighter frame of your food.

Secondly, because it is small, you can put less on the plate without too much negative space around the food, allowing it to look abundant.

Less plate is more shot. Let your salad plate be a dinner plate, and let your dinner plate be a platter. It’s all about what looks good to the camera.

Natural lighting is the easiest way to make sure photos come out looking appetising. ☀️🍩☀️🍩

When shooting images indoors, you can use sunlight or window lighting to help highlight the focus of the object. When you’re outdoors, always shoot in a shaded area for even light. Direct sunlight can create a lot of harsh shadows that will add a lot of distracting spottiness to your photos, making your yummy food not look as yummy on screen.

If you don’t have access to good, natural lighting, this is when a LED light and defusers come in handy. 💡

As the age old saying goes – tripods are a food marketer’s best friend 😋

Blurry photographs have a knack of making even the most delicious of meals look less than appetising as the quality of the image can reflect on the perceived quality of the food. 📸

Solution? A good old tripod – stabilizing photos and appetites since whenever they were invented. 👍
