What more could a videographer ask for than a chance to run around little ones as they find their feet?

We spent half a day sliding along the floor during a football coaching class to catch these kids' developing motor skills in action.

When working with young children the trick is to manage their unpredictability by being uber prepared in advance. We closely coordinated the shoot with the Little Kickers coaches to ensure we knew how each exercise would unfold, and therefore where our cameras needed to be, whilst avoiding disruption to the class.

Our carnivorous crew was put to a tantalizing test, having to concentrate on their camera work while the smell of prime French beef cooking was floating in the air.

Our productions generally require a mid-size crew of 3 to 8 people.
With so many booths with so little time, and only a cameraman and an assistant assigned, would the "Filmages Lite" crew be up to the task of capturing the vibrant wine-hub of South East Asia?
The result speaks for itself...

A Tale of Two Apps...

The brief was to create 3 different edits, showcasing the HK Disneyland Park app, PhotoPass app, and one edit that would combine both. Pressed by the upcoming holiday season, we had to pull the whole production - storyboarding, location scouting, talent sourcing - in just a couple of weeks. Shooting from sunrise to sunset on one of the hottest days of the year certainly added another level of difficulty, but made it happen.

During post-production, the challenge was to tell a story that demonstrated the two different apps' functionalities without being too long or confusing, and up to Disney's high standards.

Additional product lines, expansion of their Passion retail brand and overall improvement of their business practices meant that we needed to produce an equally energetic video to do their success justice.

When you work in the creative industry, there is not much that separates your passion from your work.

The team at Passion By Gerard Dubois understand this labour of love and we endeavoured to reflect that commitment in this tribute to their retail brand.

Finishing touches in post-production added that extra dash of magic using creative visual tricks, motion graphics and illustration.

La Rose Noire has grown in every direction over the years, and Filmages joined them on a journey back to where it all began.

This movie presented a unique challenge as we documented a complex subject over several countries with lots of different elements, and people, involved. We needed to balance a lot of information to stay in control of the story.

Aside from understanding the technical elements of the chocolate making process, we kept focus on the core message - why La Rose Noire chose to make their own couverture.

From Singapore, Austrailia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and China, Sonepar managers were converging for their annual Leadership meeting.

A final clip to remind guests what to expect, and what is expected of them, at the office Christmas party. 

Stage 2 of our "lest they forget" strategy was making sure the guests arrived appropriately dressed.

Hosting a costume party is like choreographing a flash mob; it only works when everyone reads the same memo.

Since their doors first opened for business, La Rose Noire has struck a balance between their business and humanitarian activities in the Asia Pacific region.

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