Sunday on the terrace
Specialty coffee brand
The brief asked for “warmth.” On the first call, the owner talked about the last Sunday customer: someone who stays when the line is gone. That was the piece.
We shot on a real terrace, no hired extras. Three lenses, one operator, and just enough time before the sun dropped. Espresso steam did the atmosphere.
The cut was decided in the room, with them. The last frame is not the logo: it is a cup left on the table.

Stills
The table
An hour of coffee. No moodboard. We wanted to hear how they talk about the place when they are not presenting.
The frame
35 mm at eye height. No hero shots of the beans. People, steam, the last of the sun.
The cut
Two passes in the room. The third went home. Tone is decided together, not in a portal.
