Food Effects

Restaurants, cafes, and food brands animating menu and marketing imagery.

Restaurants and food brands are selling appetite, and the effects AniFX plans for this industry are chosen specifically for how well they read as freshness and warmth — steam, drifting particles, gentle light — rather than for visual spectacle.

Because food marketing is often produced in-house without a large budget, effects surfaced for this industry tend to require minimal source material — one well-lit plate, not a full production.

Planned
