    uniE608 Restaurant Promo | Randall & Aubin Soho - Oyster Bar Seafood & Brasserie, London
    Promo produced as part of a series of videos and short films to promote one of Soho's most frequented and well known restaurants. Launched in 1996 on Brewer Street in Soho, Randall & Aubin is an Anglo/French Brasserie that specialises in seafood and has been delighting foodies, fans and celebrities for the past twenty years. Relaxed, fun and luxurious, this is a place where lobster and steak are served with a side of good humour and a wink as sparkling as the champagne. With its marble topped bar height shared tables, loud chatter and peels of laughter are common - from patrons and staff alike. From its roots as a Victorian butchers shop to finding itself at the epicentre of London's gay scene and now Soho's gentrification, Randall & Aubin have always embraced the old and the new; 18th century chandeliers from Paris share ceiling space with a giant, glittering disco ball, which so perfectly reflects the fun-loving, lighthearted atmosphere that makes Randall & Aubin such a unique dining experience. Co-owners Jamie Poulton and accomplished Head Chef Ed Baines commissioned us to create this promo video reflecting the fun and eclectic dining experience they offer in the heart of Soho London. We wanted to create a fast paced and dynamic film, reflecting the atmosphere in the restaurant and excitement of Soho but with genuine customers and interactions. Our trademark editing style is fast-paced and tightly structured to create a fun, engaging and cerebral experience. Ballistic Video Production specialises in creating branded content for the hospitality sector, we look for the best way to portray and reflect your business through the power of the moving image.

From captivating commercials to thought-provoking documentaries, the moving image has revolutionised online communication and marketing strategies. filmdirector videoeditor video advert promo restaurant
