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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
