How do you represent a company with a global presence?
You get people from all around the world to talk about it.

So, we created six mini-stories ideally portraying a business club manager in New York City, a golf club manager in Singapore, a catering manager for a fashion event in Paris, a six-star hotel manager in Dubai, an executive chef in Sydney, and a royal banquet official in London.

The Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong are producing a special range of products and activities in support of Breast Cancer Awareness throughout the month of October.

Proceeds from the "Peninsula in Pink" campaign went to the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Family Registry.

A hike is always challenging, having to hike and shoot is even more challenging. That is what we had to do for Leitner Ropeways, as there are no roads along most of the 5.7km cable car trail. In addition to this we shot all the components of the internal workings of the cable car & strapped a Go Pro to capture the view as if you were in the cable car too.

We then sent all the footage to Leitner, for them to create an edit for all of their cable cars from around the world.

This video features Hovan Lam, the Senior Bartender at The Peninsula Hong Kong and he creates the Pink Amour Cocktail, a delightful French themed cocktail.

It seems that the sky is the limit for Gerard Dubois and his loyal team...
To celebrate the launch of their (already very successful) second shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, La Rose Noire asked us to produce a video that would reflect their long-term vision.
With shop rental being the major hurdle for any brand expansion in Hong Kong this video is primarily geared to seduce property owners.

How many steps does it take to get married?
According to Hongkong Land, only 53.

This shoot was particularly challenging, as we had to adapt and overcome the conditions placed on us by the Photo-shoot and Mother Nature.

In shooting a behind the scenes of a photo shoot, we must discreetly capture every aspect of the photo shoot, without ever delaying or disturbing the primary shoot.

When it comes to sampling whiskies, the best advice is to follow your nose.

The Filmages crew take a tour through the Landmark's subterranean shopping arcade, sampling some of the finest whiskey whilst browsing the latest in men's fashion and gadgets.

E-commerce is not only a sophisticated technology, but also an extremely complicated concept with a lot of moving parts; Online retailing, ad banner administration, consumer behavior tracking, promotional offers, online payments, warehouse management, fulfillment, and much more.

So to add some clarity to the complexity and get ClearGo’s message out loud and clear we used dynamic motion graphics.
Motion graphics helped to represent abstract concepts and give a unified look in line with Cleargo brand identity.

Chef Kelvin Wong Hon-Keung from The Square designed an innovative Cantonese cuisine for Gwyneth Paltrow:
"I know Gwyneth is a multitalented, Oscar-winning American star. So, I combined something from China and America together: Crispy Prawns with Strawberry Sauce."

This was one of the four videos we produced for Landmark, with the other recipes from world famous and Michelin star-studded Joel Robuchon, Umberto Bombana, and Richard Ekkebus.

Chef Joël Robuchon from L'ATELIER de Joël Robuchon created the tasty and light Le Caviar Imperial for Ms. Paltrow: "This is a dish which can suit everyone, for children as well as very discerning people, such as Ms. Paltrow." 

This was one of the four videos we produced for Landmark, with the other recipes from world famous and Michelin star-studded Umberto Bombana, Richard Ekkebus, and Kelvin Wong.

"April is the time of white asparagus so I use this seasonal ingredient because it's slim, tall, white and beautiful - just like Gwyneth." says Chef Umberto Bombana's about the dish he created as a tribute to Gwyneth Paltrow: Asparagus and Orange on White Asparagus Risotto.

This was one of the four videos we produced for Landmark, with the other recipes from world famous and Michelin star-studded Joel Robuchon, Richard Ekkebus, and Kelvin Wong.

"I want to respect Gwyneth Paltrow's healthiness in the dish with very light flavours and healthy components." Richard Ekkebus, Culinary Director of Amber shares his inspiration for creating the Alaskan Crab, Burrata & Mauritian Royal Palm Heart Salad with Watercress & Caviar.

This was one of the four videos we produced for Landmark, with the other recipes from world famous and Michelin star-studded Joel Robuchon, Umberto Bombana, and Kelvin Wong.

My mother told me to never play with my food, but I can't help it...

It was early morning in Istanbul, the city was still surprisingly chilled as the summer heat was about to turn up. I had two hours of quiet all to myself. Bliss...

As I sat in the bar terrace and ordered a turkish coffee, the Owner offered a plate of decadent mille-feuille he had just prepared.
As he sprinkled the icing sugar, I immediately thought about the cute glass penguins I had just bought for my kids.
The idea for a stop-motion animation hit me like a bolt of lightning and tout-de-suite shot the sequence in less than an hour.

Besides, I was too hungry to make myself wait to bite into that crispy pastry any longer

Together with the Filmages Team, we pieced it together as our way to wish you a wonderful and creative Springtime!

Our challenge was to feature 5 new products, and 5 different recipes, with only half a day to shoot them all.

BTW, did you notice the shots that were really close to the bottom of the pan, almost touching the food?

Well, we sacrificed a few Bergner pans and slit their side so that we could shoot extremely low. So the talent had to cook without letting the food fall out!
 

Our challange was to feature 5 duo tools, and the 10 ways to use them, with only half a day to shoot them all.

Fortunately, we are experienced in shooting macro-photography.

We ensured that everything we had planned in the storyboard was delivered according to Bergner's expectation.

Chef Umberto Bombana tells us about culinary inspiration, Marc Chagall’s painting, and stealing cherries…

8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana is an Italian restaurant in Alexandra House, Central. In 2012 it became the only Italian restaurant outside of Italy to receive 3 Michelin Stars.

Classic Fine Foods is the market leading importer and distributor of fine ingredients, serving the vast majority of five-star hotels and high-end restaurants in Asia, with an expanding presence in the Middle East and Europe.

To pay tribute to their favourite Chefs, CFF have started a “World’s Top Chefs series”, with a first movie about Alvin Leung from Bo Innovation.

Creating a second installment for this series was a challenge for us as we wanted to take a different approach, maintaining the same level of quality and consistency required to build a series.

Needless to say, we had a lot of fun creating this video! We will let you be the judge: if you watch this video and your taste buds do not respond, either you've just eaten or we failed.

We would like to thank Opera Gallery Hong Kong for their support.

In celebration of their 110th anniversary and their long-standing relationship with this great city icon, HK Tramways approached Filmages to produce a series of promotional videos.

You can watch a shorter version of the movie, which was made as an opening trailer for the French Film Festival.

In this promo we enhanced the action by framing the footage with motion graphics during post-production.

By including notable, million-dollar faces in property development, we highlighted some of the many opportunities to be found at MIPIM Asia.

Being nominated in 3 categories at the prestigious the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) 2014 Annual Awards is quite an achievement, but this was only the beginning for Knight Frank because they only had days to piece together their 45-second video submission per category nomination.

We got a call just a week before Chinese New Year. That’s right; THE Chinese New Year that paralyses the entire region for a full week. By experience we knew that submissions would be judged on hard facts contained in the printed submission. However, we knew that we had to create something fresh and bold for the fastidious jury panel. Moreover, win or lose, we wanted the videos to steal the show!

So we proposed to intertwine 3 athletic disciplines with the 3 categories in order to surprise, delight, and leave a long-lasting impression. It was a risky pitch, but we were pleasantly surprised to receive the full trust and creative support from KF.

“Big thanks to you and your team in producing such high quality videos! We got two [out of three] of the awards nailed – Residential and the Professional Services. The videos were the talk of the town last night and we received big compliments in terms of our out-of-the-box presentation of our teams.”
Natalie Tsui, Head of Marketing & Communications - Knight Frank 

As VSC was expanding their were facing difficulty communicating their transformation from a long-established local rebar supplier to a larger international group with varied portfolio.

This is when we entered the game...

The "HSBC Marketing Fame Awards" video is a dynamic production showcasing HSBC’s marketing excellence across Asia Pacific.
Designed to align perfectly with HSBC’s brand identity, the video features sleek motion graphics inspired by the HSBC app interface.
It includes interviews from teams across the region and prominently features the then-CEO throughout, adding a strong leadership presence.
To replicate the energy of a live event in the absence of a physical ceremony, male and female voiceovers were used to emulate an MC experience, as HSBC announced results online for the first time.
The client praised the video for its professionalism, creativity, and embodiment of digital transformation.

Kids helping kids be kids with the help of some child-sized teddy bears, Landmark taught young people about the gift of giving.

In the fashion of a scavenger hunt, these kids raced around Landmark to buy gifts for children of the Make-A-Wish foundation and their families.

“If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

During a dress rehearsal, we went behind the scenes of a classic story to capture the energy and excitement of the Faust kids.

The challenge was to quietly capture the magic without interrupting the young artists at work.

Tak Mei Toys called us in to help during the conceptual stage of their new product: Jacob iBear. 

Filmages took the opportunity to develop a video that would bring all of Jacob iBear's features to life to stand out to their customers. You need more than a powerpoint presentation to informative as well as entertain your audience.

A combination of cinematography, motion graphics, voice over and some adorable children created a video that could stand on it's own during an internal or external presentation.

A 28-metre long, 19-metre wide and 7-metre tall sculpture, filled with rolling baubles.

This tour-de-force sculpture, designed and built by European artist Hanns-Martin Wagner, is called the "Infinite Joy Rolling Sculpture" and certainly brought endless joy to Landmark's shoppers.

With a prop of this scale, we had to accurately plan where our cameras needed to be to capture it's momentum. 
 

From humble beginnings in 1958 with the construction of a new runway at the Kai Tak Airport, Gammon Construction has weathered more than five decades of market changes, social and economic fluctuations and regional developments that have shaped the modern engineering landscape.

To celebrate 55 years as one of the premier construction companies in Asia, Gammon commissioned Filmages to produce a faithful and vibrant portrait of its remarkable achievements and current activities.

As it goes with construction industry, our crew and gear were put to the test going deep underground to high up in the air in a helicopter. 

HK Tramways was bought out in April 2011 by a French JV between RATP (the Parisian MTR) and Véolia Transportation. Most low income people were worried that foreign investment would take advantage and raise fares. The general public was also very worried about the future of their beloved Ding-Ding. So far the new management has been very respectful of the tradition and is doing its best to modernize the fleet whilst remaining the lowest travel fare in Hong Kong.

With a limited budget and enormous logistical constraints due to the nature of the railways lines, Filmages chose to portray the evolution of the city and its architecture by following the same woman through 4 distinct eras:
- Pre-WWII (1904-1945) with elegant Cheongsam or Qipao
- The 50s and 60s, with the emergence of a growing female working force
- The eccentric 70’s
- Modern-day with a natural look with a touch of Chinese silk tradition.

Another version of that movie was created for the Hong Kong Tramways 110th Anniversary
