From complex shoots, stretching over several months to same-hour delivery.
Our core strength lies in our ability to adapt to any style, under any condition, to cover all our clients needs.
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.

Don’t trash that Wacom tablet…
Don’t trash that Wacom tablet…
2021
For Wacom tablets users who have recently upgraded to Catalina or Big Sur, are upset with Wacom inexistant tech support, and are ready to give up and throw their beloved (and expensive) tablet in the landfill, despair not:
A small company has created "Connect My Tablet" which - according to their website - is: "The only expert system to connect your beloved Wacom tablet to the latest MacOS (El Capitan to Big Sur) Far more then 1800 combinations of Mac Computers – MacOS versions – Wacom tablets covered"
Disclaimer: www.filmages.com is not affiliated with nor sponsored by Connect My Tablet.
We created that video just because that app initially didn't come up in our search for a solution, and we were really ready to throw our tablets to the bin; so we are happy to share this find with the community.

Yep, so mind-blowingly simple and cheap uh? But to our knowledge nobody had though about that one before, so we are happy to share it with the community.

By creating this seamless video loop we brought a world of endless office fun to Zuru's Instagram followers...
Infinite Loops
2020
Ever-hungry social media platforms put an incredible pressure on marketing departments to produce cost-effective yet quality content.
Instagram is particularly keen on very short loops, short enough to be viewed before the inevitable swipe-left.
We were commissioned to produce original Infinite Loops that would get the selling points across while being creative and shareable.
The results include Bird-headed Cocktail Lovers, a Jacuzzi Cosmonaut, a few Magic Sunglasses, and a Boomerang Dancing Duet....
Arts and Design
2020
If you are still having trouble deciding which artwork to feature in your living room, imagine sourcing artworks for an entire Contemporary-Chic 5 star hotel...
To feature the decoration elements we choreographed our camera moves to be wholly zeitgeisty.
Cocktails Masterclass
2020
If you think that mixing the perfect cocktail is an art, try filming a series of "how to make... " cocktail videos.
Focus on the female mixologist... Not masculine enough
Feature the whole back-lit glass wall with bottle display… Too wide
Show the ingredients in extreme macro… Too close
Too many details... Not enough step-by-step information
Fortunately Filmages came to the rescue, shaken not stirred.
LRC Corporate
2020
Founded in 1883, the Ladies’ Recreation Club is a private member’s club located in the heart of Hong Kong.
With five-star sporting and dining facilities and outstanding service, the Club offers its members a place to gather, socialise and enjoy an array of activities for their families and guests.
Norman Chan Interview
2020
“The new ALVA hotel is unique. It is a project that I was immediately attracted to.
Given the proximity to the lush hillside and the Shing Mun River, I envisioned the start of the guest journey with a double-volume height lobby, filled with natural light..."
While the Alva Hotel was still under construction with large parts still bare concrete we produced this soft-sale creative promotion for the Alva Hotel with star interior designer Norman Chan.
This included aerial shots that had to wait for last-minute-to-edit due to the construction elements still visible from the sky.
Those aerial shots had to be carefully rotoscoped and colour graded to make the building stand out from the summer humidity fog.
Oh, and we may have had to romaticized the delicated colour palette of the the Shing Mun River's waters...

While the Alva Hotel was still under construction with large parts still bare concrete we produced this soft-sale creative promotion for the Alva Hotel with star architect Daiji Chikuba.
The production included also filming birds "angling their wings carefully", which turned to be a lot more challenging than PR and Marketing could possibly imagine...
Challenge accepted.

The Right Fit - Hats
Health & Wellness
2019
The right talent make all the difference! We were fighting against Nature when a typhoon came crashing down on our shoot.
We had to adapt fast; turning our camera angles away from the falling rain, adjusting the lighting to make up for the gloom outside and then applying every colour-correcting trick we know during post-production.
Although it's not always fun and games we want this is kind of energy in front of the camera, as well as behind.
Gaddis
2019
Not many people know this, but Gaddi's is the first restaurant in Hong Kong to introduce the Chef's table where guests can experience the service in an otherwise closed kitchen.
We collaborated with the Peninsula team to showcase their impeccable fine-dining restaurant with snapshots of staff serving and interacting with guests along with closeups of the tantalising dishes.
Crowdfunding Campaign
2018
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.
Wedding
2018
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.
Chokolate
2018
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.
Enter the Lions
2018
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.
Make A Difference
2018
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.
Serviced Apartments
2018
Standing high on the hillside, Hong Kong Parkview cultivates a lifestyle with an appreciation for art and a healthy, family-oriented community. Their exclusive members club has all the facilities and amenities to make it an oasis away from the city.
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.
Art & Culture
2018
Standing high on the hillside, Hong Kong Parkview cultivates a lifestyle with an appreciation for art and a healthy, family-oriented community. Their exclusive members club has all the facilities and amenities to make it an oasis away from the city.
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.
Spa & Facilities
2018
Standing high on the hillside, Hong Kong Parkview cultivates a lifestyle with an appreciation for art and a healthy, family-oriented community. Their exclusive members club has all the facilities and amenities to make it an oasis away from the city.
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.
Restaurants & Outlets
2018
Standing high on the hillside, Hong Kong Parkview cultivates a lifestyle with an appreciation for art and a healthy, family-oriented community. Their exclusive members club has all the facilities and amenities to make it an oasis away from the city.
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.
Chinese New Year Puddings
2018
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.
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.
Cake Shop
2018
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.
A Legacy of Conservation
A Kerry Staycation
2017
With a city as dense and diverse as Hong Kong, virtually every neighbourhood has a unique quality and character.
Finding the right group of friends to explore Hung Hom was a good place to start.
How could our talents keep their cool and beat the excruciating summer heat?
Work hard by playing hard for the crew, of course!
A Kerry Moment
2017
As the first hotel to open on Kowloon's shoreline since 1995, Kerry Hotel is the new kid on the Hung Hom block.
This new character on the Hong Kong hospitality scene had to stand out without being compared to its luxurious parent company, Shangri-La, or their hip, inner-city sister, Hotel Jen.
Filmages brough a range of talents around various hotel spaces to show that Hongkongers and overseas visitors alike would find themselves at home at Kerry.
Spa
2017
We had two days to shoot all the footage necessary for three different edits - hotel, food & beverage and spa. Therefore, to avoid disrupting the guests at Banyan Tree Macau, it was essential that we planned production down to the smallest detail.
Storyboarding each scene was crucial as our movements had to be carefully coordinated with access to locations limited to specific times during the day.
Admittedly though, it was the first time talents asked for more takes.
Food and Beverage

Passion Pâtisserie 2016
2016
When you work in the creative industry, there is not much that separates your passion from your work.
The team at Passion By Gerard Dubois understand this labour of love and we endeavoured to reflect that commitment in this tribute to their retail brand.
Finishing touches in post-production added that extra dash of magic using creative visual tricks, motion graphics and illustration.
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.

Electronic Museum
2015
In a city of bright lights and all-night parties, we were approached by a very unique client.

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.

The avant-garde Felix simply oozes style. Designed by Philippe Starck, the views from the 28th floor of The Peninsula tower over the breathtaking Victoria Harbour, and Chef Kaji, serves Modern European cuisine, made with the freshest, seasonal vegetables.

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.
Kot du Wrone
2015
Sopexa and Inter Rhône jointly launched a "Red Emotion" video competition to promote the French Côtes du Rhône wines.
Squeezed in between other important commercial projects we had little time to join.
Cliff who was fascinated by the many colours of wine "robes" (colour, transparency, texture) decided however to participate, and we gave him our best support.
The clear and beautiful visual, supported by a multi-cultural comedic soundtrack made it a great movie for TVC commercial.
Wines from the heart

Sopexa and Inter Rhône jointly launched a "Red Emotion" video competition to promote the French Côtes du Rhône wines.
Squeezed in between other important commercial projects we had little time to join.

This is our little homage to the food and everything that we love here in HK!
LANDMARK - Boutique Boulevard 2013
LANDMARK - Boutique Boulevard 2013
2015
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.
LANDMARK Men - Whisky Tour 2015
LANDMARK Men - Whisky Tour 2015
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.
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.

Pen Does Christmas
2015
When it comes to decorating for the holidays, there should be no half measures.
The Peninsula brought in the festive cheer with full force, building a life-sized gingerbread house and a giant model train set, and of course, there was still room for a Christmas tree!
Shot over three consecutive nights, the crew became completely jetlagged but had to quickly shift back to other daytime shootings before shifting back once again for New Year's Eve party.

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.

LANDMARK - Rolling the Bauble into Christmas
LANDMARK - Rolling the Bauble into Christmas
2013
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
LANDMARK - No Dress Code
2013
We went behind-the-scenes and captured the glamour of a high-end photo shoot, and as usual we had to work discreetly around the photographer.
Back in the edit room we decided to highlight specific elements of fashion by using a magnifying graphic system. This allowed us to showcase details on accessories, wools, and furs and show how breathtaking winter fashion truly looked like.
Fall/Winter 2013 Fashion with Huang Xiao Ming
Fall/Winter 2013 Fashion with Huang Xiao Ming
2013
For this Fall/Winter 2013 and third installment of One Central Macau‘s promotional movies, following Gaile Lai and Donnie Yen, it was no less impressive to work with Mainland China’s Megastar Huang Xiao Ming.
A renowned actor, singer and model with over 20 Millions followers on Weibo, brand ambassador for Tissot and ridiculously good looking, Huang Xiao Ming turned out to be very friendly and easy to work with. This was crucial as the whole movie was shot in just half a day since we had to share time with the photographer and keep the excited fans at bay.
But as Huang Xiao Ming played the game, reacting very positively to our direction, we were able to wrap the whole movie just in time for sunset on the One Central Macau promenade.

Missed your last Yoga class?
Don't worry, maybe instead you can try to capture on film the subtle but fleeting expressions of a toddler at play.
Crawl all day on your knees, elbows, and belly.
We did, and it hurt.
But you will have to agree that the result was worth the back pain.
