Corporate
2013
It used to be that companies only had “The-One-and-Only Company Presentation”. But now the game has changed. Videos are used to update partners, give out awards, motivate staff, and much more.
As their needs have diversified, companies have the choice to use several vendors to meet those needs.
-- or come to see us.
Whether a company needs in-depth script development, product presentation, or award submission, we have a proven track record to help business grow.
Shaping Our Future
2023
What does the future of construction look like?
Hundreds of client's PowerPoint slides were trying to define it, yet they could neither simplify, articulate, nor visualize - let alone communicate it.
And if there's somethin' you can't solve in your communication
Who ya gonna call ?
Script, storyboard, copywriting, filming, edit, SVFX... in record time. Done.
It was eventually adopted by Gammon's CEO for his opening address at CIC annual event.

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.
We Build Trust
2021
Filmages is proud to have contributed to the celebration of Hip Hing's 60th Anniversary by producing this inspiring movie testament to the resilience through time of their amazing people.
Filmed through 2020-21 Covid-19 crisis we had to adapt our workflow to comply to all necessary safety compliance.
It also involved climing a 70m high crane, setting up a badmington court on a rooftop, shooting arrows in the sea, and mostly being extremely flexible to adapt to ever-changing situations.
ALOFT
2021
Did you know that the first model electric vehicles dates from 1828?
Electric Vehicle charging has gone a long way since...
With a growing climate crisis and plenty of practical EV to choose from, one unsuspected challenge is the implementation of charging stations.
More specifically, parking spaces without a wall to mount on.
Fear not, Cornerstone Technology to the rescue with this innovative overhead EV charger.
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!
A sustainable future with EV chargers
A sustainable future with EV chargers
2020
"A Sustainable future can’t wait, and the clock is ticking..."
This movie, made as Covid-19 was crippling the world, Hong Kong was just re-opening, and many overdue projects were suddenly hyper-urgent, was produced in just 2 week, from initial meeting to full delivery.
TM-CLK Link - Design for Manufacture and Assembly
TM-CLK Link - Design for Manufacture and Assembly
2020
The challenge:
45,000 meters of E&M service pipes to install in an underwater tunnel narrow service gallery.
Gammon's solution:
DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) modules fabrication and installation.
For Filmages the challenge was to sift through very complex technical documents and create a simplified yet faithful storyline.
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...
Enertainer
2020
It has been an industry headache for a long time to get sufficient and early power supply from utilities companies to power all equipments on a construction site.
Gammon worked together with startup company Ampd Energy to produced Enertainer.
The Ampd Enertainer is an advanced battery system designed as a one-for-one, drop-in substitute for a traditional construction diesel generator.
Basically, the largest battery we had ever seen.
And yes, it can power your smartphone for the next few centuries.
MIC - Modular Integrated Construction
MIC - Modular Integrated Construction
2019
How to reduce carbon emission, provide controlled and safer conditions for workers, guarantee production timeline, and address aging construction workforce?
Gammon produced for CIC (Construction Industry Council) this MIC (Modular Integrated Construction) demon and exhibition building to prove the concept, share best practice, and hopefully convince key players.
On our side that meant filming high and low in Mainland China and Hong Kong, installing a 3 days timelapse camera on barge boat, and many sleepless nights.
IDPD - Integrated Digital Project Delivery
IDPD - Integrated Digital Project Delivery
2018
On the 7th consecutive year producing a video for their annual showcase, we kicked things up a notch for Gammon's 60th anniversary.
Looking at the company's future, instead of the past, we focussed on the multifaceted technology of IDPD - Integrated Digital Project Delivery.
Our task was to boil down all this information as concisely and memorably as possible to encapsulate all the digital platforms involved.
We collaborated with multiple departments, managed several stakeholders and worked with different file types.
In fact, our coverage of IDPD was so thorough that some of the stakeholders were not even aware that some of these processes even existed!
SR Corporate Presentation
2018
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 Niccolo Room
2018
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.
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!
MIPIM Asia 2018
2018
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.

Leadership Meeting APAC 2018 - Thailand featurette
2018
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.
Best Time Ever - Company Presentation 2018
Best Time Ever - Company Presentation 2018
2018
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.
Gammon 2030
2017
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.
French Beef: A Taste of Terroir
French Beef: A Taste of Terroir
2017
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.
MIPIM Asia 2017
2017
A showcase of engaging speakers, impactful networking opportunities, and celebrating outstanding property development projects in the Asia Pacific region, Filmages has felt at home covering the MIPIM Asia conference since 2007.
The energy was palpable throughout the two-day event as we interviewed key opinion leaders and captured the startup awards gala dinner to wrap up another successful convention.
Farewell to our China Factory
2017
Animation adds a greater flexibility to storytelling that's appealing to more than just kids!
Layered with a professional and upbeat voice over track that spread like butter to bread, a pop-up graphic style gave their message a storybook quality to end a chapter in their company history.
Company presentation 2017
2017
Whether you're a customer, a competitor, or even a video production house; keeping up with a fast-paced business like La Rose Noire requires a lot of stamina!
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.

Leadership Meeting APAC 2016 - Kick Off
2016
From Singapore, Austrailia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and China, Sonepar managers were converging for their annual Leadership meeting.
Our task was to deliver their new mission brief to them, loudly and clearly.
Opening with an engaging Blockbuster theme we made them feel like heroes ready to jump into action.
The response was thunderous and set a high energy mood for the three day conference.
The Investigation - Company Presentation 2016
The Investigation - Company Presentation 2016
2016
How could we turn a classic case of corporate need into a piece of entertainment? How could we engage an audience of existing customers with the details of the whole of La Rose Noire's processes?
We turned the story upside down! Instead of highlighting the positive points of production, we lead the audience into a dramatic exploration of LRN operations from the perspective of hired investigators.
For what was a rather dark movie, we had to come up with a positive resolution to ensure the audience came away informed and satisfied.
Our People
2016
We love a challenge and Gammon has always made sure to raise the stakes when it comes to testing our shooting and story-telling abilities.
This year we turned our lenses towards the one's who make such iconic infrastructure possible: those unsung heroes, the unamed workers, and their commitment to the Gammon promise.
We used the workers' daily Qigong practice as a storyline, and created a double exposure aesthetic to show them as an essential part of the construction process.
Swiss Economic Forum
2016
Being invited as a major speaker to the Swiss Economic Forum is nothing short of prestigious, and usually the SEF produces the guest's biopic introduction themselves.
But Gerard Dubois preferred to take his portrayal in his own hands, or rather, to put it in ours.
Having already produced several films for LRN we had to stick to the provided SEF guidelines, but could produce a much more creative and richly documented video portrait.
Values 2016
Kickoff
2016
Q: How to push your new Company Values forward globally?
A: Put your boots on and kick some!
We convinced Speedcast senior management to use rugby to embody the teamwork spirit, and pass the message around with a smooth continuity effect.
With words visually translated into forward action, this video scored and converted way over the expectation crossbar.
Megaman Lighting Exhibition 2015
Megaman Lighting Exhibition 2015

As one of the leading global providers of energy efficient and smart lighting solutions, Megaman commissioned the Filmages crew to cover their booth at the Hong Kong Lighting Fair 2015.
Innovate and Excel - 2015 in review
Innovate and Excel - 2015 in review
2015
Capturing the blazing speed at which our urban environment is evolving is a rare treat. We felt honoured that, for the 4th year in a row, Gammon asked us to produce a creative presentation of their annual review.
At the time we were weather and authorisation dependent so the shooting stretched over several weeks. But not to worry, right off the bat we created an overall structure that allowed us to build this movie with maximum flexibility.
Combining various techniques such as drone and helicopter aerial filming, timelapses, hyperlapses, steadycam, jib cranes, and many other in-house tricks, we created a piece that illuminated Gammon's technical innovation.
We made it look easy, but we guarantee that (a little) blood and sweat were key components in the making of this movie.
StudioCity
A Luxurious Experience
2015
One Central Macau is a home away from home for any retail connoisseur.
Yet they needed our best camera moves to wrap their high-end luxury brands portfolio up and convince Mainland Chinese visitors to spare time away from gambling tables.
Leadership Meeting APAC 2015 - Kick-off
Leadership Meeting APAC 2015 - Kick-off
2015
Nowadays most corporate annual meetings start with a kick-off video, then with the Chairman's address. Better than nothing, but still quite old school.
Although not represented in this video for confidentiality reason, we actually wrote the outline of the introduction speech to sync perfectly with the video.
The abstract dimensions of the visual perfectly matched the leadership address. The audience was literally mesmerized by the synchronicity.

During their annual conference, and after the traditional kick-off and welcome messages, the CEO got right down to business.
"Last year we got together, we brainstormed, we devised strategies... we talked a lot. But did we walk the walk? What happened when everyone went back to their desks?"
He left the question pending... and this is when our movie started up.
Reaching Further, Bringing You Closer
Reaching Further, Bringing You Closer
2015
AsiaSat was launching their new corporate branding initiative, and needed a video to broadcast their revamped identity and reaffirm their business positioning.
Shot in 4K/Ultra HD over just a few days, we were particularly challenged by consistently bad weather over Hong Kong, so the time-lapse involved a lot of composition magic to look glorious.

Company presentation 2015
2014
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.
Passion Pâtisserie 2014
2014
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.
Build, Grow, Operate your e-Commerce
Build, Grow, Operate your e-Commerce
2014
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.
ULTRA
2014
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!
Duo Tools
110th Anniversary
2014
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.
20th Anniversary Celebration Video
Aim High, Think Big
2014
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.”

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...
HSBC Marketing Fame Awards
Jacob iBear
2013
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.
The Gammon Promise
2013
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.

Cosmo Supply Lab
2013
The Challenge: Cosmo Supply Lab is a leading manufacturer of mix-material accessories, mostly for “The Forbidden Fruit Which Shall Not Be Named”.
So we had to show without showing, explain without being specific, demonstrate without end products, yet convince - uncompromisingly.
The Solution: We borrowed from the craft of magicians who are always attracting the audience's attention to distract from what should not be visible. We carefully worked out the frame and camera moves, and added dynamic visual effects to work out the magic.
Company Presentation 2013
2013
Following the previous year’s video the highly successful La Rose Noire wanted to keep their customers updated with their achievements and new lines of mouth-watering products.
However, the world had been shaken by several China food scandals, and we scripted a storyline starting from their strong fundamentals; top quality Flour, Eggs, Dairy, authentic craftsmanship; building up towards quality control, distribution, and ultimately impeccable taste.
This video certainly helped them go serenely through the media storm, and in fact consolidated their reputation.
Doing business in Mongolia
2013
Mongolia in Feburary is cold - very cold!
Shooting in -30 was equally tough on our bodies as well as our equipment; but we always relish a challenge, even one as chilly as this!
With good preparation we could complete the shooting within the very short time - 2 days only and with very short daytime s'il vous plait!
This Mongolia episode is just another part of the ongoing series commissioned by the UK Trade and Investment. You might want to refresh you memory watching the compilation of previous 9 countries around SE Asia.
New Products 2013
2013
How do we make a movie delicious? This was the challenge posed to us by LRN, was to turn 3 new product lines and make them visually appealing whislt using our sense of sight to ultimately determine taste.
Another challenge was to demonstrate the handmade care taken with the products, all being done in an industrial factory.
It was a challenging project, this fun, delicious, stylish and sexy and we here are very proud of the end result.
Jardine’s Pride in Performance Award
Jardine’s Pride in Performance Award
2013
This video is part of Gammon’s 2013 submission into the Jardine’s Pride in Performance awards, a group-wide competition, which recognises individual projects and their outstanding achievements.
We wanted to showcase the grandeur of the West Kowloon Station Terminus North project in a more creative manner.

2012
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. And since many of them had astounding results and substantial contributions, it became clear that their excellence deserved to be recognized.

2012
From data centres to boiler rooms, ventilation to security systems, Gammon’s Electrical and Mechanical division covertly affects numerous aspects of our lives.
We had the opportunity to explore the secret systems meant to be felt - not seen.
We dynamically intertwined motion graphics and interviews to showcase how Gammon E&M connects people and technology with the future.

Datasource International, is a company who specializes in translation services. They contacted Filmages to help them develop a new brand campaign with video as a spearheading component.
Instead of creating a standard corporate video, we took this as an opportunity to create something that would allow the Client to stand out in the market place.
Having 2 days to shoot the 3 parts meant that we needed to plan and storyboard each video, for the most effective use of the time allowed.
But with 3 separate storyboards being conceptualized, meant we would have to create 3 unique viral videos that could stand alone, yet, be used and make coherent sense as a trilogy.

Passion Pâtisserie 2012
2012
Never forget where you came from.
La Rose Noire may have an incredibly successful global enterprise now, but they never forgot their humble beginning as a single cake shop.
Although the high-demand grew them into a wholesale manufacturer, they always kept a deep love for retail.
So in 2012 they opened the “Passion” patisserie and asked Filmages to produce a social-media teaser.
Our main challenge was to introduce the audience to an unusually large array of products.
We decided to bring in two dancers with different outfits, choreography and mood lighting to represent various consumers and their respective appetites.

For this presentation video, we were briefed to create a dynamic and informative video for this charity.
Their aim is to create as many aspiring directors, camera operators and video editors for tomorrow. So of course, this is a project very close to our heart!
This project gave us the opportunity to use different techniques, allowing us to flex our creative muscles.and adopt techniques we wouldn’t have the opportunity to!

There are many people who might think Bakery and Pastry are easy; just add the ingredients in correct quantities, mix, bake, serve; et voilà! - Not quite.
The fine art of French Bakery and Pastry is about crafting each product down to the smallest details. And that is what makes La Rose Noire operations so fascinating; Industrial scale yet genuinely handcrafted.
So to produce this movie we had to first observe, and then humbly learn to see from the eye's of this industry.
We brought in a strong storyline, a touch of poetry and humour.
The resulting movie was extremely well received by LRN customers world-wide and this translated in a noticeable increase in sales.

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.

Insight, Inspire, Influence
2011
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.

Cartes in Asia
2011
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.
Doing business in Vietnam
2010
This segment is one of nine movies Filmages produced for UK Trade & Investment’s “Business Opportunities in Asia-Pacific” campaign.
Our challenge was that we had only 2 days to shoot in each country over a 4-week period. During this time we endured the rapidly changing Asian summer monsoon season.

After commissioning a video presentation for their upcoming seminar, Sonepar gave Filmages some existing material with which to start building a video. But there was not enough to truly represent their global reach as it only focussed on their business in Europe.
Considering that they are represented in 17 Asian countries, this presented a very unbalanced picture. So, with very little time and material available, Filmages decided to redress what we had to create a video that fully exposed the Asian arm of Sonepar.
By adding snapshots of the people who make up the Sonepar Asia operations teams, Filmages produced a video which lifted up the Asia Pacific image on the global management stage.

Pourquery approached Filmages to create an animated video, which would promote their bicycle testing services at the Taiwan bicycle expo. Instead of showing the testing machines, Filmages focussed on the clients' benefits in terms of customs and legal compliances, as well as user safety.
The challenge - capture the attention of visitors to the Pourquery amongst a myriad of visually dynamic colours, carbon and chrome exhibits throughout the expo.
The solution - Filmages proposed the creation of a colourful illustrated video exalting the importance and necessity of product testing, rather than concentrating on the physical act of testing.
