Beauty in simplicity
The film we had to produce was for a very specific audience in mind - European sales representatives for Kikkoman soy sauce. It's about research results in how soy sauce is doing among competition. The challenge was how to make this visually appealing and remind why soy sauce is nice. I did visual research in how to present food and products in a simplified style but still keep their appeal.
