// CGI for food & drink brands

Good enough
to taste.

CGI films, stills and social content for food, drink and spirits brands. We work from photographic reference of the real product to match its depth of colour, viscosity and reflections. Trusted by Coca-Cola, The Balvenie and Chivas Regal.

Why CGI for food & drink?

Food and drink are judged in a split second, on colour, gloss and texture. We photograph the real product and match it: the depth of colour in a whisky, the viscosity of caramel, the reflections on chilled glass.

That reference drives every simulation, so pours, splashes and drips behave like the real thing, every time.

Pack updates, limited editions and new flavours render from the same build, so a range can grow without another shoot.

What CGI makes possible for food & drink.

The perfect pour.

Liquids, foam, ice and splashes simulated and controlled frame by frame.

From cask to glass.

Spirits, ingredients and origins brought to life up close, from the barrel to the pour.

Every flavour, one build.

Ranges, limited editions and pack updates without a reshoot.

Shelf to street.

Retail, social, OOH and FOOH assets from a single set of renders.

FAQs

Can you match our product exactly?

Yes. We work from the real product, photographic texture reference, packaging artwork and dielines, matching colour, viscosity, reflections and label detail before animation starts.

Is CGI more cost-effective than a food shoot?

It depends on the brief. For ranges, pack changes and shots that can’t be filmed, CGI usually costs less across a campaign because the same build is reused. We’ll recommend the best approach for your brief.

How long does a food & drink CGI project take?

Typically 3 to 10 weeks from brief to delivery, depending on length, complexity and the number of products and formats.

Who works on our project?

A small, senior team. Everyone on your project is experienced, so briefs move fast and changes are handled quickly. We use the right tool for each job, and when a brief needs something new, we learn it.

How it gets made.

01

Get inside the brief.

The product, the occasion, the audience and the campaign.

02

Concept & storyboard.

Scripts, style frames and camera moves, with liquids and lighting approved early.

03

Build & animate.

Packaging, liquids and simulations built from photographic reference of the real product, then animated.

04

Deliver.

Films, stills, cutdowns and pack variants in every format and spec.
