Food Effects

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.
