How to Shoot Professional Food Commercials: A Step-By-Step Tutorial

While we are filmmakers and content creators first, the team at Syrp Lab are also huge foodies. It’s not just about trying new restaurants, recipes and the latest trends (although there is plenty of that!). We’re also interested in seeing how the next generation of creators are filming and using technology to showcase food and drink in new and exciting ways. We’ve all seen the crazy-delicious food photography and filmmaking splashed across social media, with food looking so good you can almost taste it through the screen.

How to shoot cinematic tech videos like Apple

When it comes to slick product videos, no one does them quite like Apple. They truly are the masters of the game, with the high tech, sci-fi-style slow reveal having become their trademark. This style isn’t reserved for Apple alone though, and it’s entirely possible to use this technique to make a great tech video of your own. Genius steals, after all. With some vision, a bit of resourceful thinking and the clever use of tools, you can shoot a cinematic masterpiece of your own using any everyday object.

Compose Your Vision - Levitation Photography

Real-Levitation Photography is a testament to finding beauty in the surrealism of moving subjects in the air. It is a celebration of the transient moments happening all around us every day that we barely seem to notice. For this project, I am bringing it back to where real levitation got its start: Footwear. I will be highlighting some of the world’s most coveted sneakers, alongside NBA style legend, Lance Fresh.

Compose Your Vision - Satisfying stop-motion loops

Creativity is a special kind of feeling. It makes me feel excited, focussed and, when the stars align, can make magical things happen. Being creative is not something that is ‘on’ all the time. I have to be in the right mood to get my creative gears going. But when that happens, I try to hold onto this feeling as long as I can. This project is a visual hommage to that creative mood. A playful typographic experiment that resulted in a satisfying stop-motion loop. Which you can watch again and again… and again.
