Excited to share this latest piece from my portfolio for Sambo. To bring out the rich texture of the chocolate and the warmth of the cocoa, I took this project into DaVinci Resolve for a dedicated color grading session.
Key Adjustments:
Warmth & Contrast: Enhanced the brown tones to evoke a premium, sensory feel.
Texture Highlighting: Refined the highlights on the melting chocolate to make it look as appetizing as possible.
Atmospheric Depth: Balanced the steam and background shadows for a cinematic look.
It’s amazing how a professional grade can transform a shot from a simple visual into a "tasty" experience.
The brief was simple. Show a new personalized news feature.
The obvious solution was to show a few clicks in the UI as you choose your topics. Clear, but not very interesting.
So I pulled that moment out of the interface first and turned it into a cloud of topics. You get the idea before you even see the product, then the video drops you back into the real UI and shows where it lives.
I really like these tiny decisions. The feature stays the same, but it feels easier to get and a lot more fun to watch.
