This project combined live-action footage with conceptual 3D rendering to transform a traditional restaurant location into a bold visual statement. The building was filmed on-site and later enhanced with a digital effect that reimagined the structure as if it were infused with melted cheddar cheese. The creative render generates the illusion of cheddar flowing from the roof, symbolizing indulgence and abundance while pushing the boundaries of architectural visualization. This piece functions as both a product video and a conceptual exploration, merging real-world footage with imaginative 3D effects to create a striking, memorable impression.
