As an architectural icon, the Murray Hotel Arches are an ideal location with so many eye-catching angles to choose from.

In preparation for the Fendi fashion catwalk, we collected timelapses of the construction and trial run of the event setup to highlight the versatility of this space.

The startup company, Nivose, needed to showcase their winter athleisure fashion for a crowdfunding campaign on the French platform, Ulule.

But, there was no actual collection to feature! So how could we create an eye-catching promo video without any products?

Luckily, we were given 2 prototype styles of winter jacket and some old posters of the original Nivose branding from 1936.

With these in hand we told the legacy of their brand name using a creative mix of vintage graphic styles and green screen technology.

Over the years we have become experts at filming technical processes, whilst working within the restrictions that maintain their safety and scheduling. 

We worked closely with the Star Rapid team to accurately depict their prototyping and low-volume manufacturing business in China.

After a thorough pre-production planning stage, we ensured our 2-day shoot ran without a hitch as we filmed every process in their factory with equally keen eyes.

We wanted their expertise to speak for itself by combining staff and client interviews, and complementing their high-tech equipment with smooth motion graphic captions and discreet 3D motion tracking.

The glory of unveiling a hotel is highlighting the efforts that go into bringing such luxury experiences to their guests.

Filmages often go behind the scenes to capture these moments; mood lighting, place setting and a whole lot of teamwork!

Although it may seem simple to film an empty box, we creatively used timelapses, camera angles and visual tricks to truly showcase the flexibility of the Murray Hotel's ballroom.

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! 

To the newly weds and soon-to-be weds, which do you think is more strenuous; arranging a wedding or staging a fake one? 

Of course the answer is the former! Our Client recognised the lengths people are willing to go to fulfil their dream nuptials, so we went even further to recreate that experience.

Just like a true partnership, we worked in close collaboration to source a glowing cast and put them in full wedding attire to pull "the Big Day" together.

At Filmages we treat every shoot like we are preparing a homemade recipe:

Equal parts creative direction and precise on-set execution.

Plated up in post-production topped with subtle graphics and light retouching.

From time to time our videographers undergo an event coverage endurance challenge and MIPIM Asia is a workout we look forward to every year.

Besides capturing the usual networking and key note speakers, we also joined the after party celebrations at the Grand Hyatt.

Although the brief has hardly changed over the years the key to covering these events is to be spacially aware, especially when so many activities over so many days blur into one.
 

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. 

When asked to produce an event presentation video, we looked deep into how the company is wired discovering the pillars that held up their market-leading operations.

We wanted a strong visual representation to tell this story and what better way than through the dynamic sport, Muay Thai.

After a successful soft opening, it was only a matter of time until The Murray Hotel was paid a visit by these bringers of good luck and fortune.

Balanced by vibrant Chinese New Year themed b-roll, we packaged scenes of the dancers into this video greeting card.

It was a humbling opportunity to work with one of the best Lion Dance troupes in Hong Kong, Ha Kwong Cheong Group, with whom we collaborated to channel the true spirit of this celebration.

It takes a village to open a hotel so the old addage goes... maybe... ok not really.

But when it comes to opening a new hotel it takes a strong team, dedicated to creating an impeccable guest experience.

Every staff member is a key player and we went behind the scenes to see what it took to be a part of The Murray Hotel team.

The "Old Town Central" initiative by the Hong Kong Tourism Board celebrates the convergence of culture, arts, heritage and cuisine with a series of five walking trails running close to The Murray.

We caught up with Anthony Lau and on of Hong Kong's many visitors to talk about what makes this city so vibrant.

Creative expression comes in so many forms. It can begin as one thing and be turned into something completely other. 

Michael Craig Martin took his vision to the Peninsula and turned one of his works into a standing monument, visually representing this shift in perception. 

We stayed up well into the night to watch this sculpture make its home at the Peninsula during Art Week 2017.

Capturing the serviced apartments, with 8 different decor themes, offered up some of the most enviable views in town.

Timing the shoot was crucial to make sure we caught some of the winter sun, which bathed the rooms in natural light.

Although our cameras could capture only so much of this warmth, we endeavoured to recreate this glorious glow in post-production.

Upon arrival, it takes next to no time to realise that art is integral to the Hong Kong Parkview experience as these artworks are spread throughout the property.

Their galleries are open for viewing to anyone, even non-members. Our cameras were spoilt for choice as we could only select a handful of pieces to highlight such a vastly diverse collection.

The numerous athleisure spaces challenged our ability to show guests having fun without over-staging it. 

Their well-equipped gym facilities gave us the opportunity to make their talented PT's sweat, for once, as we were the one's calling for more reps, probably more than twice. 

Working with their tennis club members and a spritely trio of kids meant we could focus on getting the right drone and steady cam shots while they focussed on keeping their energy up.

The appreciation of art and creativity extends to the numerous F&B outlets; Ming Yuen, George's, Teahouse, Oasis, Teppanyaki, Lifestyle Café, Karaoke and The Whisky Bar each have a space that is carefully designed to please the eye and taste buds alike.

Stage fright, over confidence, the jitters... every performer knows what could happen before the show goes on.

Not everyone can be a veteran of the stage, but Bottom finds a way to motivate her fellow players.

Modern day romance has got nothing on this love tri...love squa...love quad...

It's complicated...

Who needs reality TV when you can watch a fairy power couple battle it out? 
 

Whether your the Duke of Athens or a rude mechanical, you can bet there's a lot on your mind once that midsummer air starts to turn.

Every couple has their quarrels, but few can change the balance of nature!

When King Oberon and Queen Titania cannot see eye to eye, who's side should you be on?

Huge sets and professional actors aren't always necessary to tell your story.

Along with a lite crew, we sent in some furry friends to brighten up the scene behind delicate product close-ups.

Having covered the event several times over the years, we pulled together a crew of videographers and photographers and high-tailed it to The Landmark's Boutique Boulevard.

Live performances by Rain and Bebe Rexha kept our team on their toes as they tustled through the crowds to cover every angle of the event.

While the guests partied on into the night, we did not rest until all photos and video were delivered the next morning.

The camera always eats first at Filmages, and with over a dozen cakes to showcase we wasted no time in getting up-close with Kerry Hotel's Cake Shop latest offerings.

Besides a zen-like focus on the task at hand, we brought a selection of displays and platforms on which to present this feast for the eyes.

When you're passionate about your work, there's little that can stand in the way of your dreams, and our Client, La Rose Noire, has carried this youthful optimism with them everyday for over 25 years.

We wanted to tell the world of their triumphs with the exact same energy, and what better way than working with sparkling on-screen and voice over talents.

Of course, our production schedule had to keep the same pace! From pre to post, production was wrapped in 4 weeks just in time for our Client's presentation and the holiday season for Filmages.

Following the success of The Investigation, Filmages went incognito once again to uncover the latest mouth-watering line-up of La Rose Noire products.

Filming in multiple locations in Hong Kong and in the Philippines, our team pulled out all the visual storytelling tricks that would keep the audience informed and entertained.

What does the future hold? What are the major innovations that are going to deeply change the construction industry?
From robots to GammonBot, from exoskeletons to remote-controlled cranes, from 3D concrete printers to virtual dashboard, new technology is coming fast and implementation is on its way to 2030.
