21c Museum Hotel

The 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, KY was truly one of the coolest hotels we have ever stayed in! We were a bit nervous taking our toddler to a “museum” hotel but it proved to be an amazing experience for the entire family.  We were passing through Louisville on our way to Atlanta for a video shoot for KIA’s dine & drive experience so we didn’t have any time to explore the city, just the hotel.  Luckily the hotel had plenty to see and do!

As we pulled up we could hardly believe our eyes!  Even the outside of the hotel was exciting!  21c is know for their red penguins and you are greeted by them near the entrance and on the roof. We were even lucky enough to get red penguin tattoos for the little guy.  🙂  The front of the hotel is even complete with its own 21c limo that is covered in red marbles.21c 10- small21c 13- small21c 12- smallAfter check-in we were taken to our room called Asleep in the Cyclone.  The room is made of re-purposed barn wood (which has a really nice smell,) custom textiles that look like stained glass, an old record player complete with cool records and a bed that toddlers especially love to jump on!  🙂21c 1- small21c 3- small21c 2- small21c 4- smallAfter having a ton of fun in our room we decided to check out the exhibits…21c 8- small21c 7- small21c 6- small21c 9- small21c 5- smallOur favorite room was the room with a million tickets!  Man did we have fun in there!

By ROF Industries | Corporate Videography & Visual Storytelling At ROF Industries, we’ve shot food photography and high-end video content globally… from bustling street markets to exotic destination hotel restaurant menus. But our work with Mangia Mangia taught us that the most cinematic food content isn’t just about the plate; it’s about capturing the feeling of a dining experience. If your restaurant or brand needs to translate “warmth and comfort” into pixels, here are our three pillars for cinematic food storytelling. 1. Focus on Movement, Not Just Stills One mistake many brands make is relying solely on static photos. At Mangia Mangia, we leaned into Videography that focused on: The “Twirl”: Fresh pasta being twirled onto a fork to show texture. The Steam: Perfecting lighting to catch the rising heat from the kitchen. The Light: Using backlighting to make rich sauces catch the light and look “alive” on camera.   2. Capturing the Atmosphere (Environment Matters) A restaurant is an ecosystem. To make Mangia Mangia stand out, we didn’t just stay in the kitchen. We captured the dining room in motion. Great videos and photos are about showcasing an individual style. Our goal is to make the viewer feel like they are already sitting at the table.   3. High-Quality Presentation for High-Value Results Whether we are working on a massive printing publication or a digital video campaign, quality is non-negotiable. For Mangia Mangia, we used professional-grade gear to ensure the textures of the food were as crisp as a high-volume magazine print. What made the shoot even better was the personality behind the food. Mangia Mangia doesn’t just serve Italian cuisine… they serve warmth, comfort, and that unmistakable feeling of gathering around a table with people you love. That […]
