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, Special Effects delivers measurable results that transform how brasserie professionals communicate with their audience.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Special effects cover the broad category of visual enhancements that alter reality in your footage — explosions, fire, rain, snow, smoke, electrical arcs, and environmental destruction. We use a combination of stock element compositing, Houdini simulations, and After Effects particle systems depending on the scale and budget. Each effect is color-matched, shadow-integrated, and motion-tracked to your plate. This service differs from compositing (which is assembly) in that we generate the effects themselves. A single VFX shot takes 2-5 days; we recommend sending us a shot list early so we can plan the pipeline and batch similar effects together.
You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
Software: Nuke, After Effects, Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D | Tracking: PFTrack, SynthEyes | Render: Arnold, V-Ray, Octane | Output: EXR 16/32-bit, ProRes 4444, DPX
