The Show Must Go On - Boticelli and his Time
The Show Must Go On - Boticelli and his Time
2023
In 2021 the world was a mess, and so was FIF's documentary project on the "Boticelli and his Time - Masterworks from the Uffizi" at the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
Social unrest, global Covid-19 pandemic, and administrative red tape had derailed their earlier plans to focus on the exhibition itself.
So we patiently picked up the pieces and created a new solid narrative for a 60 minute+ documentary that would give a full picture to the project, and give a voice to the different partners and artists involved, including world renown cineast Andrew Lau, pianist Niu Niu, Myriam Yeung, Eason Chan, Renée Fleming, Xuefei Yang, Leon Ko to name only a few.
The quality of the full documentary led it to be broadcast on several Asia cable channels and on Cathay Pacific's in-flight entertainment in Chinese and English.

Diginex ESG
2021
Companies are feeling increasing pressure to report their ESG data from both customers, investors and regulators. But companies should spend more time improving their sustainability performance than reporting on it.
That’s why Diginex has created DiginexESG; an intuitive, fast and affordable blockchain-enabled ESG reporting tool that facilitates the entire reporting process.
One of the major challenge for this project was to produce a complete video that would encapsulate DiginexESG vision ready for their launch, while the other marketing materials were still being developed.
Another 20min "Onboarding Video" was produced to demonstrate the Saas interface in depth.
Smart Classify
2021
According to the Environment Protection Department, over 3,300 tonnes of food waste is sent to landfill every day here in Hong Kong. Over 800 tonnes of which is from the commercial and industrial sectors and the remaining 2,500 tonnes is accumulated from household waste.
Cornerstone Renewable Energy commissioned us to produce a promo video for their new "SmartClassify", an intelligent and funway to recycle food waste.
Aimed at investors, government agencies, property management companies, it had to look slick and desirable, while working in fact with a WIP prototype in a very small industrial space.
Making use of good lighting, precise storyboarding, and some VFX magic, we made their product shine bright, and food waste recycling hip.
Youth Outreach
2021
While preparing to launch Hongkong Land HOME FUND with an initial injection of HK$ 100 million, our long-time client Hongkong Land reached to us to direct a video that would be informative and inspiring.
Filmed in just half a day we quickly blended in with Youth Outreach amazing people to gently steer their boundless energy to create a dynamic yet controlled filming.
Recycle for Rewards
2021
There is no denying that the Plastic Crisis is a most urgent matter.But merely adding collection stations won't do much since batches are more than often contaminated and simply discarded in landfill.
Cornerstone Technologies ask Filmages to create a clear, informative, and compelling video to promote their Reverse Recycling Machine, and their partnership with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park.
With very litlte filming time, we used a combination of various aerial, macro, underwater, and gimbal cameras, with the addition of motion graphics.
If we have done our job properly, you too will pay attention when disposing of your plastic bottles...and get paid for it!
Covid-19
2020
When public health is not in crisis, allocating substantial budget to medical science doesn’t seem like an urgent priority.
And when a pandemic strikes it is chilling to discover that pumping last-minute enormous funding can’t buy immediate solutions.
Have you ever wondered what could be done to help bring a balance between research spending and scientific efficiency in confronting infectious diseases?
This is where The Pasteur Foundation Asia funding comes in...
Their funding is the antidote to our neglect!
CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility
CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility
2020
Many companies try to be more socially responsible.
Million dollar question is: What to do?
It seems that the answer point in the direction of: everything counts, and La Rose Noire has been working hard at it.
That might seems all nice but that made our task explaining it all very very complicated because organising their myriad of actions in a strictly logical order just wouldn’t work.
Our creative logic ended up with a Polar Bear, a Baby Boss, and other wacky concepts.
But it works!
This is Nuts...
Foundation 2018
2018
In times when large corporations continue to push profits ahead of ethics, it's always heartwarming to watch La Rose Noire support their workers and the community through CSR and charitable activities.
We documented the La Rose Noire Foundation vocational training programmes by interviewing the students, alumni and employers.
Besides capturing moments from their latest graduation ceremony, our cameraman found out what it felt like to be totally covered in bees!
Gala Le Centenaire
2018
When Le Souvenir Français approached us to create a movie for their annual gala fundraising dinner we knew that it was going to be a tough sell.
Look around, war memorials and the wellbeing of ex-servicemen are not exactly hot topics at the moment.
So we put our communication skills into action to help a cause that gives back to those who honoured their country in their service.
The fundraising efforts were a great success when our little Paul and Mei characters turned an otherwise formal dinner upside down and struck a strong emotional chord in the audience.
Thematic Funds
2017
Where there are a handful of generous donors, there are a million more NGO's in need of support. But how to sort the chaff from the wheat, ensuring these NGOs have sustainable programmes with thorough planning and accounting processes that will make the most of this funding?
This is the mission of Swiss Philanthropy Foundation.
During a 4-day "Thematic Funds" workshop dedicated to Youth Employment in Hanoi, Vietnam, SPF made sure that their handpicked NGO partners could make the greatest impact in the field with the right backing from their donors.
Through the animation of hand-drawn concept boards, brainstorming sessions and field trip coverage, and some key interviews, Filmages edited this piece to help SPF reach out to even more generous donors worldwide.
35th Anniversary
2017
Shaheen Sports Club, building character since 1982, celebrated their 35th anniversary partnering with Filmages to pay homage to their youth football and hockey teams.
Our videographers were just getting warmed up as they took to the streets of Mong Kok to visit Shaheen Home Base. Then, with a freshly broken sweat, we got stuck into the action as they battled it out at Adidas Sports Base.
With this tribute we thank the coaches for instilling the spirit of sportsmanship and creativity in the youth, and helping us shed a few ounces at the same time.
Les Ailes Brisées
2017
Question: What do the Moon, Burgundy wine, Jules Verne, and a WWI French airman's organization have in common?
Answer: Les Ailes Brisées

To honour their commitment to this cause, we introduce how LRN Foundation support education and training programmes in developing communities.

Bamboo Schools
2010
Continuing its support for Matthieu Ricard’s global humanitarian organization, Karuna Shechen, Filmages produced a short documentary featuring the low-cost, high-educational impact of Bamboo Schools.
The goal of the Bamboo Schools project is to bring education to children from disadvantaged communities in Nepal. Beginning in 2000, the project now operates 8 Bamboo Schools, of which 3 have been built with Karuna Shechen’s financial aid, providing free education to around 15,000 students.
The film follows the initiator of this project explaining his life’s mission, and how, with a little help from some friends, he can change the future for many Nepalese children.
Bad breath for Hong Kong people
Bad breath for Hong Kong people
2009
Did you know that Hong Kong only enjoys 41 days of "clean" atmosphere per year according to the World Health Organisation air quality standards?
Clean Air Network is a think tank that has been pushing hard for our politicians to look at hard facts; The most harmful pollution for Hong Kong people doesn’t come from across the border, it is our own roadside emissions that are killing us!
And it not only costs human lives, it is also very expensive for our “developed” society.
Filmages helped to raise the red flag by combining experts’ interviews, testimonials, educational motion graphics, and expressive sound effects.
Tai Lua Interview

To support Mr W.K. Tam’s candidacy as Vice-President of the Lions Club International Filmages created a full campaign including a communication strategy, visual identity, print materials, and a few video segments to spice up the website.

2008
If you thought that the terrifying plague, the Black Death, was something from the past, here is some not-so-good news.
With the apparition of antibiotic resistant strains, the Plague is currently classified as a re-emerging disease.
The good news is, the folks at Institut Pasteur are hard at work keeping us safe, but there is still a long way to go.
You’ve been warned…

Shechen Clinic - Services presentation
Shechen Clinic - Services presentation
2007
The Shechen Clinic in Kathmandu is a charitable institution helping people in need. Its original feature is that it features allopathic, homeopathic, and traditional Tibetan medicines.
But it also provides many other services such as counselling for those struggling with alcohol and drug abuse, and family planning.
Filmages has been supporting the Karuna-Shechen humanitarian organisation since 2003, including branding, printed material such as brochures, leaflets, annual reports, website, and overall communication strategy.
The Fight Against Infectious Diseases
The Fight Against Infectious Diseases
2005
In the age of attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, 140 max-character IMs, and 15-seconds video clips, watching a 12-minute long documentary might seem like a sizeable task. But there are people who dedicate their lives to saving others, and that doesn't happen in a snap.
Hong Kong University - Pasteur Research Centre needed a corporate documentary to present their latest activities and appeal for research sponsorship. Filmages created a whole set of communication materials, including a brochure, a website, and a 12-minute long video.
This enabled HKU-PRC to secure an endowment fund and further contribute to the fight against infectious diseases.
We also produced a full scale exhibition at HKU Museum and Art Galleries (UMAG) "From the Plague to new Emerging Diseases"
