Shake Shack At Home

We shot 15 deliverables during this project: 15 stills, 12 video loops or macros, and 5 cinemagraphs, with 4 parallaxes. This single-day shoot in a New York corporate test kitchen had a one-week post-production turnaround following two weeks of preparation. The main objective was to replicate the Shake Shack experience as if customers ordered from the app and enjoyed the meal at home, showcasing all burger variations in 360-degree video. Assets were used on social media and as hero images for out-of-home (OOH) banners in stores.
