Joshi Sushi & Delivery

Product reels shooting

Duration: 1 week

Project overview

Introduction

Product

A promotional video for Joshi, created as an Instagram Reels format to showcase the sushi-making process. The video highlights the freshness of ingredients, the craftsmanship behind the preparation, and the visual appeal of the final dishes, making it an engaging marketing asset for the brand.

Problem

The client lacked a visually compelling video that effectively communicated the quality of their sushi and the transparency of their preparation process. Previous content didn’t fully capture the dynamic and sensory experience of sushi-making, missing the opportunity to engage potential customers through social media.

Goal

To create a high-quality promotional reel that visually enhances the sushi-making process with close-up shots, smooth transitions, and dynamic edits. The video emphasizes the freshness of ingredients, the precision of preparation, and the artistry behind the dishes, ensuring an engaging and appetizing presentation optimized for Instagram.

Visual effects

Close-Up transitions

In one of the videos for Joshi, I filmed the sushi preparation process, where the top was seared with a torch at the end. This effect was placed at the beginning of the video to grab the viewer's attention. Check out the final result on Joshi's Instagram.

Close-Up transitions

The video also features close-up shots of all the ingredients used in the preparation, including a slice of salmon. This shot was enhanced in color grading to make it look even more appetizing.
