Grand Hyatt’s Great Taste Awards gathers the top chefs of the groups’ esteemed hotels to put their culinary skills to the test. This round, 18 chefs across Southeast Asia are given 6 hours and 4 mystery ingredients to create a dish to wow the judges and emerge as champion of the Southeast Asia semifinals.
The brief of the project was to film the process of the contestants from start to finish, as well as the tasting session and award ceremony. To match the intensity and heat of the competition, heartpounding rhythmic music is used, as well as fast moving edits to emphasize the fast pace of the event. Lightbox photography was also a component, to capture the final dish of each contestant.
