London Food & Drink Film Director
Scott Choucino is a London food and drink film director — pours, splashes, condensation and macro product motion — represented by Agent At Large, working from fully equipped studios in London and Leicester. His work sits at the point where photography and video meet: the same eye for texture, light and timing that shapes a still image, applied frame by frame to build a film a brand can put in front of millions of people.
Scott’s films have appeared in campaigns for household names including Dolmio, Papa Johns, PepsiCo, Doritos, Ben’s Original and GoPuff, alongside ongoing work with smaller brands building their identity from the ground up. Whether the brief calls for a hero product shot that moves, a full 30-second campaign film, or short-form content built for social, the process starts the same way: understanding what the product needs to say, then building a shoot around it.

What a food & drink film director shoots
Drink & liquid films
Pours, splashes, condensation and macro detail directed for drinks brands. Liquid on camera is unforgiving — a pour that looks right to the eye can look flat on film, and a splash that looks great as a single frame can fall apart across a sequence. Directing drink films means controlling all of it: the speed of the pour, the light hitting the surface, the exact frame where the splash holds its shape. See the drink and liquid photography portfolio for recent examples.
Food films
Texture, freshness and appetite appeal for advertising and packaging. Food on film has to read as touchable — steam rising off a dish, sauce catching the light, a piece of food falling into shot exactly on cue. Directing this kind of film is as much about timing the plate as it is about timing the camera. See the food photography portfolio.
Motion & video content
Broadcast, e-commerce and social video content shot on 6K raw slow-motion cameras, edited in-house. This covers the full range a brand might need: a 30-second broadcast spot, a short vertical cut built for social feeds, or product motion designed to sit on an e-commerce listing. Because editing happens in-house, a film can go from shoot to final cut without handing footage off to a third party. See recent food and drink videography work.
Still life & product
Tabletop and product photography for FMCG and consumer brands, shot with the same studio and lighting setup used for motion work — meaning stills and films from the same shoot day share a consistent look. See the still life and product photography portfolio.
Studios in London & Leicester
Scott works from fully equipped studios in London and Leicester, kitted with Broncolor lighting, a full grip package, high-resolution view cameras, 6K raw slow-motion video cameras and an in-house editing suite. Having two bases means a shoot can happen wherever it makes most sense for a client — nearer to an agency in London, or in the larger Leicester space when a set needs more room to build. Both studios are set up to go from a tabletop product shot to a full-scale campaign production without moving equipment between locations.

Scott is represented by Agent At Large, working directly with advertising agencies, brand marketing teams and packaging designers across the food and drink industry. That range runs from major FMCG names running above-the-line campaigns down to independent restaurant, hospitality and beverage businesses that need the same quality of film on a tighter budget and a faster turnaround.
