Spec ad · Ori, matcha & coffee · Łódź

One shoot. Four hooks.

One session filmed at Ori, where I volunteered, cut into four 15–20 second ads. Each one opens differently, so a café can test which first second actually stops the scroll.

DRhythm0:16
“Sift. Whisk. Pour.” One word on every beat, music straight from the drop.
AEmotion0:20
“POV: your matcha is ready.” Payoff first, a rewind, then how it got there.
CPerson0:18
“Who makes your matcha?” The person behind the counter answers it before the cup does.
BCraft0:19.5
“Every cup. By hand.” Latte art forms on screen in the first second.

How it started

I volunteered at Ori, a matcha café in Łódź. Together with the café's social media manager, who shot most of it, we filmed one session on an iPhone and a second camera: the drinks being made and the people making them. The clips were handheld, with chatter behind the camera, so the ads run on music alone. The goal was something the café could post as is, with four openings so the post can be tested instead of guessed.

What the edit does

  • Every shot stabilised; anything that still shook was cut.
  • Cuts land on a 120 BPM grid. The track drops on the moment the story turns from process to person.
  • Text is placed per shot so it never covers a face or the pour.
  • One colour grade across both cameras, including the iPhone's HLG footage, mixed to Instagram loudness.
  • Every version closes on Ori's card over a macro of the finished cup.
