Delicious and refreshing: editing, post-production, and motion design to sell drinks

I was responsible for the post-production (including editing, montage, and color correction) and Motion Design of a series of videos for Fran's Café.

If you live in or have visited Sao Paulo, there is a good chance that you have seen a Fran’s Café shop. Founded in 1972 in the countryside of Sao Paulo, the chain currently has more than 100 establishments in several locations in Brazil. I have done several jobs for Fran’s Café.

Among them, I worked on two videos, one for Cold Drinks and another for Franccino, two of the most popular products of the coffee shop chain. The work involved editing, post-production, and motion design.

Project Outcome

Key points

I was responsible for the post-production (including editing, montage, and color correction) and Motion Design of a series of advertising videos for Fran’s Café. Working with the food industry has always been something I have enjoyed, even more when it comes to products I consume (and like a lot). The expertise in presenting and selling the product is not always in the hands of the art director. That doesn’t make the job any easier. Negotiating this kind of situation is always an exciting learning experience.

What I learned

In this specific job, the Art Direction was done by the company responsible for the product photos. Because it was a company that specialized in photography and not animation or video, I was called to make the final piece under the coordination of other professionals. It was fascinating to work with professionals from different backgrounds.

I'm always looking for new challenges, projects and creative partnerships. Shall we talk?

Feel free to contact me. I love coffee and good conversations!
