Restaurant Videographer — Cinematic Food / Culinary Ad — Hamilton, ON
We’re looking for a talented videographer to film a professional, cinematic promotional video for a restaurant in **Hamilton, Ontario**.

* Capture cinematic food preparation and restaurant footage
* Close-up shots of cooking, plating, sauces, grilling, ingredients, finished dishes, etc.
* Capture a few simple shots of staff using the restaurant’s Dashi ordering/POS system
* Film the order flow from online order → restaurant → kitchen → completed order
* Follow a provided shot list / creative brief
* We will coordinate the restaurant, staff, dishes, and timing remotely
### Deliverables
* **1 professionally edited 30–45 second promotional video**
* Vertical/social-friendly format preferred
* Basic professional colour grading
* Music and sound design
* Approximately **20–40 usable raw/B-roll clips**
* Commercial usage rights for both the restaurant and Dashi Inc.
