This project was a special and meaningful experience that combined creativity, teamwork, and the spirit of Ramadan. Our goal was to produce a promotional video that captured the warmth, beauty, and generosity of Iftar at Café Concerto — a place where people come together to share moments of connection and joy.
What made this project even more challenging was that it took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to carefully follow safety measures while maintaining the artistic and emotional flow of the video. It was important to show the preventive steps — like sanitizing, temperature checks, and mask use — in a smooth, natural way that blended seamlessly with the overall mood of the film. We wanted viewers to feel safe and comfortable without losing the charm and relaxing atmosphere of the café.
I was responsible for developing the concept, planning the flow of the video, organizing each scene, and managing the filming process. I wanted every frame to reflect the essence of Ramadan — the soft lights, the smiles of people gathering, and the inviting aroma of delicious dishes. During filming, I worked closely with the team to make sure the atmosphere felt real and emotional, not staged.
After filming, I directed and edited the video myself. The editing phase was where everything came together — choosing the right music, setting the right rhythm, and giving the visuals a warm tone that reflected the feeling of Iftar evenings. In the end, the video managed to highlight both the Ramadan spirit and the importance of safety measures in a smooth, natural way.
