Paradorn Srichaphan was the first men's singles player from Asia to be ranked in the top 10 of the ATP rankings, reaching a career high world no. 9, but as the guest of honour he was very friendly and approachable with his tennis clinic pupils, both young and old.

We filmed and edited the highlights of that fun day of competition and community tennis at the Clearwater Bay Country Club.

Congratulations, your next product is going to be a hit.
When it reaches the shelf, of course...

In this tongue-in-cheek video we started from the real life nightmare of any client, leading to AsiaPack as the savior solution.
The video is so effective that 10 years after production AsiaPack is still using it daily!

We cooked up some anticipation for the Mapic event held in Cannes, France.

To contrast the strict and practical expectations of a corporate evening we came up with an original approach that would surprise and entertain the attendees.
With animation we displayed the award process as a recipe, really attracting the attention of the crowd.  Using simple, yet strong design, with some special sound effects, the metaphor lighted some sparkles in the audience and really set the tone for the rest of the night.

Et voilà!

Internship on steroids. That's how you might think of the VIE program.

VIE stands for "volontaires à l'international en entreprise", a master-level paid internship in French companies worldwide.

Very talented fresh-grads eager to show that the world is their oyster and Hong Kong attracts some of the best. Many of them have astounding results and have made substantial contributions to their hosting companies.
To recognise these young people the Conseillers du Commerce devised a competition, reviewed all submissions thoroughly,  and put on a grand Award Ceremony event at the consulate's residence.

P&G Max Factor needed a motivational training video.
We produced a short narration to illustrate how to be defuse conflicts, define goals, stay focused, ... and win.

Data is flowing faster than many organizations can manage. We produced a teaser video to attract I.T. executives to download a white paper on big data, converged systems, virtualization, cloud computing and so on...

A bit of a dry topic? Well, we managed to develop an original and catchy animation to raise the eyebrows of busy I.T. experts.

Our ITX character is simple, yet tells a rather complex story with basic movements and facial expressions.

One month later; a jazzy tune, casual voice over, an eye-catching color scheme and some delicate transitions bring the Hitachi Data Systems' technical findings to life.

 

Under the Song Dynasty (420), the 15th day of the 8th lunar month was officially declared the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it would never be complete without the famous Moon Cake delicacy.

We go in to the kitchen and observe how Chefs Frankie Tang and Yip Wing Wah prepare to make a staggering 470,000 moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, using the Peninsula's unique recipe of a traditional dough mixed with a British-inspired custard filling.

The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hong Kong commissioned Filmages to create an upbeat promotional video to point out 2 main trends: the growth of their members (755) and the FCCIHK strong appeal to non-French companies aiming to deepen ties with French businesses. Filmages came up with the idea of filming interviews outdoor to give a feel of involvement of French businesses in the city. Also Filmages developed a narrative continuity through a well-prepared script that would link each sequence with one another.

Right from the start, Filmages sets the mood with speedy shots of busy streets of Hong Kong as a place of global exchanges. Next step is to illustrate the “French layer” in Hong Kong with a strong presence of French leaders in key sectors such as infrastructure, banking, environment, food and beverage, logistics etc. Last but not least, come the actions and services proposed by the FCCIHK. The whole process finds its logic with the 17 interviewees filmed on the field. They were FCCIHK members or FCCIHK staff, ready to confidently convey the message of an active and successful French business community supported by the FCCIHK.

Although August offered a surprisingly bad weather and that everyone was not back from holiday yet we managed to shoot all the interviews within 3 weeks. Post-production included the editing, the music integration and rotoscoping of 3 shots to integrate key words (insight, inspire, influence) as well as sound mix and color grading. The video was ready to reveal its impact at the FCCIHK Annual Dinner.

Frank Sinatra and Barbara Streisand were meeting at the Polar Express train station in Hongkong Land's Landmark Atrium.

Snowball anyone?

Extending its tradition of hosting delightful world-class holiday displays for the Chinese New Year, Hongkong Land brought a jaw-dropping puppet show created by French puppeteer Jean-Claude Dehix.
We shot "Puppetland at The Landmark" at the opening of the display and edited it very quickly for social media distribution.
The show was a major success and brought sparkles into the eyes of the Hong Kong audience.

Luxury watches are beautiful crafted objects, but also potential high-yield investments.

Hongkong Land organized an event for their VIP customer to sharpen their bidding skills in a mock-up auction.

Start JG had just finished shooting a travel series of 5 Australian segments for CNN Go, and needed the edit done urgently, so we received the raw footage with very little instruction.

Before their creative team flight touched ground we had already completed all the edits, music, sound fx, and colour grading included.

In Hong Kong, men now have a mall to call their own.
To celebrate the rebranding of Hongkong Land's Landmark basement in "LANDMARK MEN" a runway show featuring actor Louis Koo Tin-lok presented the latest fashion from their tenants luxury brands.

With limited space to dance around the models and stage, we got to display our remarkable steady-cam skills.

Valeriiiiiiieeee, Popopoopopopoker Face, etc...
For TimeOut's open mic night at the über-trendy Salon de Ning bar we went into stealth mode and captured the rapturing performances of not-so-amateur singers.

Leaving a rainy Scotland, our hero arrives in Hong Kong, and enjoys the cultural shock before adapting to his new life…

Collaborating with the very talented illustrator Harry Harrison (SCMP, Wall Street Journal), we concentrated all our efforts on animating his two-dimensional drawings.

We intially received them in black and white, then applied various composition tricks to bring elements of cinema to the illustrations. Additionally, we supplied the storyboards, sound effects and Scottish voice over.

Two weeks, roughly 160 drawings and several coffee breaks later, we delivered a unique anniversary video for a private event hosted by Eventsman.

Unfamiliar with the subtle distinctions between whiskey and whisky? Between wheat, barley, malt and rye?
Missing knowledge about pit moss, oak barrels?
Hongkong Land VIPs were treated with an evening of spirited knowledge with the gold liquor guru Ron Taylor and his unmistakable Scottish accent.

We must say that the dark environment stretched the limit of our camera's ISO sensitivity down to its knee.

To celebrate the rebranding of Hongkong Land's Landmark basement in "LANDMARK MEN", a pop-up store was transformed into a premier billiard parlor for its Pool Tournament Series.

After two weeks of hard-ball competitions, the series finally came to a close when world snooker champion Marco Fu and celebrity Jennifer Tse soared in to show off their pool-playing skills in a friendly match.

This instalment of One Central Macau's promotional movie starred fashion model, magazine cover girl, and actress Gaile Lok (at that time Gaile Lai). 

The Macau-born supermodel stunned the cameras as she highlighted the Spring/Summer 2011 fashion and different parts of One Central Macau's allure. 

This promotional movie was followed by two more, featuring Mainland China Megastar Huang Xiao Ming, and "Ip Man" Donnie Yen. 

One sure thing with hair dressing maverick Kim Robinson is:
However glamorous the model, he remains the star of the show...

Check out Kim's "Salon" in Landmark

Filming jewellery is not as glamorous as one would think…

Try shooting within a very short (2 hour) time frame, through thick glass cases, with bright halogen spotlights creating crazy-strong overexposure, causing minimum disturbance to the VIP guests, watched closely by nervous security guards breathing suspiciously down your neck.

But that was no concern for our experienced team. We pulled that job off pretty well, don’t you think?

For the second consecutive year, GL Events commissioned Filmages to produce a short presentation video for Comexposium's “Cartes in Asia Summit” in Hong Kong.

The main topics of this year’s conferences were mobility, payments, smart technologies, digital security and IoT. To catch the audience’s attention immediately, and centralise the human element within the story, we created a kick-off video featuring a hand manipulating smart technologies with various interfaces in everyday situations

The apparently simple animation was based on outline strokes animated using one hand, which required advance motion graphics with a few tailor-made sound effects. The final video was a startling surprise for an audience of tech buffs. It helped the client strenghten its corporate image as an innovative event organizer.
