Why Brasserie Needs HDR Conversion

In the Brasserie sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, HDR Conversion delivers measurable results that transform how brasserie professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Brasserie

Brasserie video captures the warm, convivial atmosphere that defines this quintessentially French dining format — the zinc bar, the chalkboard menu, the bustling terrace, and the familiar clatter of steak-frites being served. Unlike fine dining, brasserie video should feel accessible and inviting rather than aspirational. The priority content is a 60-second ambiance film for Google and the website, seasonal menu updates for social media, and short staff spotlight clips that build local community connection. Shooting schedules must work around peak service (noon-2pm, 7-10pm) and preferably capture both the lunch rush energy and the softer evening candlelit atmosphere. The target audience is local residents within a 5km radius and tourists searching for authentic dining. Budgets range from 800 to 3,000 euros per quarterly shoot, with the main KPI being Google Maps views-to-direction-request conversion.

Video Challenges in Brasserie

Making Food Irresistible on Screen

Restaurants with video on Google My Business receive 35% more reservations. Food content is inherently visual, yet capturing dishes at their most appetizing requires specialized food styling, lighting, and timing — most dishes have a "beauty window" of just 5-10 minutes.

Modern diners check video reviews and social content before choosing where to eat. 87% of consumers say video influences their restaurant choice. The challenge is creating content that conveys taste, texture, and atmosphere through a screen.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Fine Dining Chef's Table Series

A Michelin-starred restaurant produced a 6-episode chef's table series showing the preparation of signature dishes. The series generated 800K views, led to a 3-month waiting list, and earned press coverage in national food magazines.

Key Benefits for Brasserie

Direct Impact on Reservations

Professional food video drives measurable business results: menu videos increase average ticket by 15-22%, chef portrait videos build trust and personal connection, and social media food content generates organic reach 3x higher than any other content type in hospitality.

Our HDR Conversion Process

Color Grading Process

1. Color Analysis: We review all footage, identify exposure/white balance issues, and establish the target look with mood references and LUT exploration.

2. Primary Correction: Exposure normalization, white balance correction, and overall color balance across all shots for consistency.

3. Creative Grade: Scene-by-scene color grading to achieve the desired mood, with custom power windows, secondary corrections, and film emulation.

4. Final QC: Broadcast compliance check (if needed), HDR/SDR delivery, and export of custom LUTs for future use.

What Makes HDR Conversion Unique

HDR conversion transforms your SDR content into HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision formats — or converts HDR masters down to SDR for legacy displays. We handle the full technical pipeline: color space conversion (Rec.709 to Rec.2020), PQ or HLG transfer function application, MaxCLL/MaxFALL metadata generation, and Dolby Vision XML sidecar creation if required. This service is critical for platform delivery where HDR is expected (Netflix, Apple TV+, YouTube HDR). We work in DaVinci Resolve's HDR grading workspace and deliver verified masters with full QC reports. Turnaround is 2-4 days depending on content length and target format count.

What You Receive

You receive: color-graded master in ProRes/DPX, custom LUT package, before/after comparison frames, HDR and SDR versions, and color-consistent stills for marketing.
