Project Overview
I collaborated with Design 24, a Sri Lankan creative agency, to produce the complete food and café video campaign for Ayla Café (Gampaha).
The goal was to visually highlight the café’s cozy atmosphere, signature dishes, and warm customer experience—blending mouth-watering visuals with cinematic movement and lighting.
This project allowed me to merge my passion for visual storytelling with a clean, appetizing presentation style that resonates with both café culture and lifestyle branding.
My Role
- Videographer
- Editor
- Colorist
I handled the entire production and post-production—from framing and lighting each shot to editing, color grading, and final delivery. Every frame was crafted to reflect Ayla Café’s vibrant brand identity and cozy charm.
Style & Approach
The video followed a modern cinematic food style—rich textures, natural tones, and slow-motion shots to emphasize the freshness and flavor of the food.
Soft lighting and shallow depth of field were used to create a warm, inviting feel that complements the café’s aesthetic.
