Showreels, Tabletop Motion & Visual Storytelling

Leading Director in Commercial Video Production

Eating is an active experience, and we capture that energy for the screen. As a food cinematographer, Brent applies vast cooking know-how to tabletop directing, using constant light and camera movement to bring products to life. We treat every production as a beautiful puzzle, ensuring that high-speed liquid motion, robotic arm precision, and lifestyle moments come together in one cohesive creative goal.

Brent Herrig Creative is a culinary motion production company based in New York and London, shooting commercials, ads, and promotional material for food and drink brands. One booking covers the stills and the video marketing assets, shot by one crew on one lighting plan, so the campaign holds together across the website, paid placements, and the social feed.

Commercial Showreels + Tabletop Motion

Cinemagraphs + Social Media Loops

4K Master Edits + High-Speed Capture

Social-First Strategy

We keep various final projects in mind while capturing. Your images will be sized for both 4K output and 1×1 social grids. From engaging animated GIFs to high-retention recipe reels, we ensure your visual story connects on every platform.

Hybrid Production

Working with a team experienced in both stills and motion saves time and money. We ensure both productions aim for one cohesive creative goal. By utilizing camera movement and lighting skills honed in food photography, we deliver a library of assets that look like they belong together. The same crew works in New York and London, out of the Manhattan partner-studio network and the South Hampstead base.
