The Show Must Go On - Boticelli and his Time
The Show Must Go On - Boticelli and his Time
2023
In 2021 the world was a mess, and so was FIF's documentary project on the "Boticelli and his Time - Masterworks from the Uffizi" at the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
Social unrest, global Covid-19 pandemic, and administrative red tape had derailed their earlier plans to focus on the exhibition itself.
So we patiently picked up the pieces and created a new solid narrative for a 60 minute+ documentary that would give a full picture to the project, and give a voice to the different partners and artists involved, including world renown cineast Andrew Lau, pianist Niu Niu, Myriam Yeung, Eason Chan, Renée Fleming, Xuefei Yang, Leon Ko to name only a few.
The quality of the full documentary led it to be broadcast on several Asia cable channels and on Cathay Pacific's in-flight entertainment in Chinese and English.

SWEAT Dance Festival Promo 2022
SWEAT Dance Festival Promo 2022
2022
Due to Covid-19, HKAPA's SWEAT Dance Festival had been cancelled twice in a row.
For 2022 drastic travelling restrictions to HK were still in place, so they decided to give worldwide dance students a life back by re-inventing themselves as a mixed on/off line event.
Needless to say, they were pretty busy to get it off the ground, so it's only very last minute that we were contacted to create this promo teaser.
Created in less than 2 weeks, with virtually no guidance, we exceeded their expectation and got the written and visual content flowing on a tailored soundtrack.
The promo teaser racked 120K views in just 2 weeks, and the event was fully booked a few days before start, to become one the their best-off ever.

Drums and dragons and lions - oh my!
In the 15 years we have been filming in Hong Kong, there is not much that compares to getting amongst the Chinese New Year celebrations.
When you are tasked to capture all this vibrant energy we were definitely spoiled for choice at The Peninsula Hotel Hong Kong with 10 lions, a dragon and a dozen drummers filling their hotel lobby.
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.
Bright Idea: LoveArtPhk
2018
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.
A Fairy Kingdom Divided - A Midsummer Night’s Dream
A Fairy Kingdom Divided - A Midsummer Night’s Dream
2018
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?
Boutique Boulevard 2017
2018
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.
Peninsula Dragonboat 2017
2017
Of the many Chinese traditions to celebrate, Dragonboat festival is not one to be missed!
Hundreds of teams go oar-to-oar across the city in vibrant long boats in a fantastic show of strength and camaraderie.
And for those who stay ashore, they savour delicious rice dumplings while cheering on the races with family and friends.
But that was no rest day for Filmages' sharp shooters, baking under the sun to capture some of those ephemeral yet extraordinary moments.
Triumph in the Skies
2017
Model pilots and inseparable brothers, Gaëtan & Godefroy came to Hong Kong to the delight of the local crowd.
Despite the unstable marine wind and stormy weather, they manage to pull incredible stunts with model airplanes specifically designed for indoor flight.
"衝上雲霄 - Triumph in the Skies" is titled after a very famous local TV series.
Godspeed!
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.
Salon Prowine Asia
2017
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...
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.

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.

Don't forget the essentials before putting your party shoes on!
A final clip to remind guests what to expect, and what is expected of them, at the office Christmas party.
Annual Party Teaser #2/3
2016
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.
We made sure that these partygoers knew what they were getting into... costumes that is!
Annual Party Teaser #1/3
2016
How can we make sure you make it to a party without relying on your smart calendar?
Simple - burn it into the back of your brain with visuals you can't forget!
When we received a brief to build trailers for a game themed party, you had to practically hold us back from diving into the toy box.
We even searched high and low for one of the few classic pinball machines in Hong Kong.
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.
25th Anniversary
2016
Our clients and friends from La Rose Noire were celebrating their 25th anniversary, and we had the priviledge to write their stage's script. Here is the first excerpt:
"If the whole story of the universe, since its creation to today, was measured as 1 year,
our solar system would only appear on the last quarter,
birds and flowers would only appear in the last 3 days,
humans would only appear in the last minute,
and modern history would only start in the last 5 seconds.
So 25 years is not much, really.
One can argue that it is a quarter of a Century; but in the grand cosmic scheme it is virtually nothing, less than a blink of an eye, and it is humbling.
Yet, the 25 years that we are celebrating today represent an incredible journey,
filled with wonderful people,
hard work,
amazing achievements,
and I hope you will agree; delicious outcome.. "
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.

2016
One can expect nothing short of the spectacular upon entering the Peninsula, and this LoveArt instalment was no exception.
A hulking machine that danced with light in the middle of the neo-classical lobby was a surprisingly elegant sight to behold.
Our cameras had to play along to find the right angles that captured it's unique movement.
New Years Eve Countdown
2016
What's not to love about a New Year's Eve party?
Well, one with media crews that get in your face and in the way of your good time.
The good news is we've mastered the art of filming in stealth mode.
Filmages does their utmost to minimise disturbance to guests and work alongside hotel staff and security, all while moving our crew and gear among the large crowd incognito.

Adorable kids, a tree and 5 cameramen captured the wonder of the holidays at the Peninsula Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony.
Electronic Museum
2015
In a city of bright lights and all-night parties, we were approached by a very unique client.
Can you keep a secret?
Totoro Typhoon told us about a pop-up party that we just had to attend.
Amongst the lasers and black lights we caught a taste of the revelry, blink and you'll miss it!
Treasure Island
2015
Written by playwright Bryony Lavery and performed by our young actors aged 8 to 18, this thrilling version follows the emotional and physical journey of a young hero thrust into a world weighted with treachery and betrayal.
We have been supporting Faust's theatre shows for a few years now, but shooting this particular movie was an interesting challenge because;
1) it was shot by a single cameraman who had never seen the show before
2) it was filmed within a single rehearsal, without any interruptions or retakes

2015 marked the 5th anniversary of Landmark's flagship "Boutique Boulevard" event, brings the music and fashion worlds together for a glamorous celebration.
Flown in especially for the occasion was singer and style icon, Rita Ora, whose performance of chart-topping hits had guests dancing the night away.
Covering such an action-packed evening spread across Landmark's 5 buildings and 80 participating boutiques required careful time and resource management.
Additionally, we provided photographic coverage throughout the evening.

Trying to act natural around Hong Kong's elite and a star-studded musical line-up featuring CoCo Lee and Katharine McPhee was no easy feat.
In amongst the foliage we caught glimpses of runway fashion, personal styling, tailoring and craftmanship demonstrations, and countless photos ops.
The key was to blend in to capture the flow of the evening's celebrations, and their guests in their natural element.

2015
It's hard enough to say no to a glass of well-aged Whiskey. But who could resist the dream of comparing 30 of the finest Whiskies, carefully picked from around the world for trendsetting Hongkong Land?
One noteworthy visual effect that we created is the space-time continuum dolly shot on the bottles. This trick allowed us to highlight the bottles without promoting any particular brand.
However, given the high number of paticipating shops to visit, the short time available, and the density of the crowd, we were required to shoot sharply and swiftly.

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.
LANDMARK - Art Event 2015
2015
They say a true appreciation of art comes from perspective. This year the Landmark turned the way we look at art upside down.
A blend of projection, installation and magnification altered the way their guests admired these stunning pieces.
This specially comissioned public exhibition, designed by William Lim, showcased artworks worth over $140 million.
Getting the chance to witness and capture this spectacular sight? Priceless.

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.
In Love with the Tram
2013
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.
Special thanks to Charlot Kryza (Stylist), Jan (Model) & Jojo (Hair & Make-up)
Another version of that movie was created for the Hong Kong Tramways 110th Anniversary

2012
Our challenge put in front of us was to create an eye-catching awards animation. With our model and several motion graphics techniques (can you count how many?). This dynamic mix of concept, direction, individuals and techniques, we created an awards animation that would kick off their ceremony in the best possible way.

Nice footage and good music makes for a pretty easy editing process, but we wanted to go a bit further and really bring the best out of those ingredients.

MIPIM Cannes Awards 2012 Kick-Off
2012
Using an enormous multi-screen in Cannes, France we wanted to captivate the audience. This Awards Ceremony celebrated the most outstanding of property development in 9 different categories.
So the kickoff needed to not only be informative but it needed to be entertaining and inspiring as well. To maximise visual effect we worked with the lighting and stage designer and truly enhanced the stage. We wanted our effects to be described with words like"big", "bold", "gutsy". But at the same time we wanted to illicit emotion and leave a lasting impression on the attendees.
Tennis Champions Cup 2011

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.
MAPIC 2011 Kick Off Animation
2011
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!

MIPIM Asia Promo 2010
2010
In 2010, Reed Midem really wanted to generate an optimistic buzz for the MIPIM Asia awards. After the 2009 global downturn, the key takeaway was Asia Pacific’s rapid, effective and sustainable recovery.
In our 3rd consecutive collaboration, using the now highly recognisable MIPIM Asia format, Filmages created a powerful and upbeat promotional video. Focusing on the fact that, even in the darkest hours of the melt down, Asia not only started her recovery earlier than anywhere else but also that she weathered the financial storm with stellar business acumen.
The MIPIM 2010 video sought to promote that, even though 2009 was a tough year, the exhibition was a resounding success and was definitely not to be missed this year.
Leadership Meeting APAC 2010 - Kick-off

2010
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.
MIPIM Asia Kick Off 2010
2010
For the 4th consecutive year, Filmages helped Reed MIDEM consolidate its position as a leader in real estate in the Asia Pacific region through its flagship exhibition, MIPIM Asia.
Filmages was once again commissioned to provide a complete video service package for their annual event at the HK Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Starting with the release of the pre-event promotional video in March 2010, Filmages coordinated the video coverage throughout the 3-day exhibition, the conferences’ web casts and the awards ceremony.

This year was a little different, amidst bankruptcies and bailouts, MIPIM and parent Reed MIDEM needed to express their long term commitment to the real estate market in Asia Pacific.
Filmages created a video that is both practical yet hopeful, realistic yet visionary. There WILL be a next year, and year after, and year after…
Opening Teaser
2009
For it’s 10th annual event, the HKJFF wanted to make a branded video to raise awareness of the event, using the HKJFF logo as the storyboard foundation.
The HKJFF logo contains three perspectives in it’s design:
1. The Star of David - Historic symbol of the Jewish faith and culture.
2. Audience eyes - Well, it is a film festival.
3. A circle of people holding hands - Bringing the community together for culture, entertainment, and new friends.
From Howard’s storyboard, Filmages developed and choreographed a cast of unique characters, composited, edited, and synched the edit to Carol’s great music.
Graphic Village
2009
Design art in Hong Kong just got a feel for quirky Parisian-style with the “Antoine+Manuel Graphic Village” presentation at the Shatin Heritage Museum.
Prolific Parisian graphic artists Antoine Audiau and Manuel Warosz had their first ever exhibition in Hong Kong. It reminded us of the “It’s a Small World” ride at Disneyland, only edgier and critter-free!
"Through our works, people can leave all their worries and concerns of the outside world behind for a moment, and enter a fun-filled and joyful world [sic], feeling like a child,” said Warosz.
Our challenge was to shoot and edit this video to best represent the experience of their exuberant, oddball style under the spotlight with larger-than-life exhibits "typographic room" and all-white 3D geometric constructions.
Dragon Boat Race 2009
2009
For the second consecutive year, while others were joyously splashing in the water, we were frantically editing the great Stanley Dragon Boat races for a PR dispatch to TV stations, and for a same-day sponsor after-party.
To deliver on time we had to derush fresh footage while editing the master timeline simultaneously. So we daresay that we may have been the fastest racers that day.

As everyone waded ankle deep through the mud to rebuild the equestrian obstacle course, and with uttelry disrupted production plan, Filmages documented whatever the skies let them. Narrative could only be developed later.
In the end the competition went off without a hitch, and the audience at the GL Events annual convention were blown away by their comeback, heroically featured by our video.
Dragon Boat Race 2008
2008
While others were joyously splashing in the water we were frantically editing the great Stanley Dragon Boat races for a PR dispatch to TV stations and for a same-day sponsored after-party.
To deliver on time we had to derush fresh footage while editing the master timeline simultaneously. So we daresay that we may have been the fastest racers that day!
MIPIM Asia Promo 2008
2008
After we filmed the entire 3-day MIPIM Asia exhibition, MIPIM needed Filmages to edit a promotional video to promote next year’s event.
Our brief was to show the productivity and scope of MIPIM Asia to global real estate leaders.
We agree with our client that this video will be a major factor in attracting even more attendees to next year’s event.
JB Group Classic 2008
2008
Please note: This video is not available for public viewing.
Filmages was contracted to cover the women's exhibition tennis tournament organised by JB Group, and we rallied all our energy to keep up!
We provided end to end coverage throughout the games including press conferences, photo ops, and of course the closing celebrations.
60th Anniversary - Asian Heroes party
60th Anniversary - Asian Heroes party
2006
"The feats of a conquering boxer or of a billiard's player on the world's stage can raise the hope and spirits of millions amongst the destitute" said Corazon Aquino at Time Magazine's 60th Anniversary - Asian Heroes Party.
We were witness to an amazing crowd of Asia's most influential people; from "Mr. Condom" Mechai Viravaidya to Momofuku Ando who invented the Cup Noodles, and even Rudy Hartono who redefined Badminton in the 70's!
We used an elegant motion graphic layout to condense a memorable evening and let the stars shine.
Global Market Asia launch
2006
For their extravagant launch party Woori needed a video to announce the debut of their new Global Market to 250 of Asia-Pacific's top bankers and officials.
We proposed to cast CNN Financial News journalist Lorraine Hahn to anchor the video and spin the story as if it was an interview-based financial reportage. We also proposed to play a ubiquity trick, starting the story in a studio, continuing in Seoul, then seamlessly transitioning to Hong Kong.
To the surprise of everyone in the room, the CEO agreed to the strategy and immediately awarded us the job.
Heart Beat
2006
New brand identity? No problem.
Uniplan is an event company that needed to exhibit their credentials and unveil their new corporate identity.
Using dynamic motion graphic animations we gave life to the still pictures that we were provided with, and pumped up the pulse of Uniplan's new heartbeat.
