How do you avoid hard shadows when filming and photographing the dish?

The hard shadow comes off the dish before the still and the clip, by moving the dish, not by darkening the sauce. If the shadow is in the room and not on the dish, it is not this file.

Turn the dish until the cut has a soft shadow and leave that mark for both takes. In the sierra the still of the dish is clean and the clip falls into a blind's shadow. Still and clip come out with the same soft shadow on the cut, not with the room's blind.
