The film

Brasa cooks everything over fire, and wanted a film that smelled of smoke. One evening service, filmed from the grill outwards. Ninety seconds of heat.

Inside the edit

Four decisions, where they sit in the film.

We open in the dark, on the first match. The grade starts almost black and warms with the fire.

Drag across the frame: the log file on the left, the graded film on the right.

Graded in DaVinci Resolve. One look across the 90 s master, the 30 s cut and the stills for print.

The cut

A single service, four cameras, nine hours of footage. The first cut showed every dish on the menu.

We kept four dishes and the fire, and the film finally had a smell.
