How is a food or restaurant video made with AI?
A food film sells appetite and atmosphere: the fire, the hands of the chef, the room at night. At Cinela it is made with AI, so no service is interrupted, and your real dishes, logo and venue are the reference. One rule is fixed: anything a customer will order must look like what they will get. A 30-second film starts at $1,990 and a social series of three vertical videos is $990 (excl. VAT).

What a food film should do
Most food films show a plate in close-up, and most of them look alike. The ones people remember sell a feeling around the food: the heat of the grill, the speed of the kitchen, the sound of the room at night. The dish matters, but the story is what makes someone want to come tonight.
Our sample film Fire works this way. In a Turkish grill house after midnight, the master handles the fire like the hero of an action film: meat pressed onto the skewer, smoke over the coals, a copper serving tray, cut to a fast rhythm. It is sample work, not client work, made to test the method.
The honesty rule
Food is the one category where an ad can easily promise something the customer won’t get. Our rule is simple: anything a customer can order must look like what they will be served. Atmosphere, the room, the chef’s moment and the city outside can be built freely; the dish follows your real photos, and you approve every frame. Every film also states that it was made with AI.
