Always Make Extra - Dinner Dilemma Done - (Social Series)

Role: Editor · Colorist · On-Set BTS Photo & Video

Concept

A warm, relatable father-and-son story that turns a quick dinner into a shared moment. The dad comes home with M&M’s chicken burgers, cooks them up—and suddenly his “too-busy-for-dinner” gamer son can’t resist joining in.

Story & Approach

Shot in a cozy, lived-in home with soft lighting and shallow depth for intimacy. The pacing builds from quiet separation to playful connection at the dinner table. The edit leans into reaction beats—the son’s curiosity, the dad’s pride, the final shared laugh. The color grade balances warm ambient tones with crisp food highlights to make the burger the hero of the frame.
