Always lots of things going on... Here are the poetry night with Sophie Hannah that I moderated and videoed, and the podcast with Jason S Polley.

Three podcasts with the British Council and an event coming up. Click the pictures to download each podcast.
I will be interviewing Sophie Hannah (and videoing the session) on 25 July at the BC. Click the picture for information and registration.  Video essays on various subjects for young learners, plus a "found sound" song for the BC. The YouTube channel is growing slowly, which is nice.
I shot and edited this video of the Proverse Spring Reception. First time to do a multi-camera edit with Resolve.
In January, I was made chair of the Hong Kong Writers Circle, of which I'm very proud.
Finally, I completed another video essay for primary school children learning English. This is the first one I've edited using Davinci Resolve, which is a wonderful program to use.
Book launch at the ACO (my new favourite bookshop), and podcast with Peter and Elsie (click to download directly). The Christmas podcast features writers from the HKWC and the Singapore Writers' Group (SWG). Seven stories, which is a lot of recording and editing!
Eighteen videos for Proverse Hong Kong, edited by me. I also did the camera and sound for one of them: The Layers Between (see below). Subscribe here.
This was a giant project for me, and I essentially taught myself Lightworks from scratch throughout the process. Gillian Bickley was a marvel, and I'm very grateful to her.

Second vlog for my teacher channel. This one has more live footage, which went over better with the children. Several of my students visited the Science Museum as a result of this episode.
A review of a current HK film, and the start of (hopefully) regular content on my "teacher" channel on YouTube.
An interview with Jane Houng about her book, "Cat Soup".

A music video for a song for work. I rewrote the song to make it a bit slower and easier, and put together the students work and some guitar stuff with me at Tsim Sha Tsui.
On 14 June, 2016, I was in conversation with Xu Xi for the Hong Kong International Literary Festival. I owe a debt of gratitude to Xu Xi and to Phillipa Milne, the organiser. The photo below is by Laura Ho.
On 21 June, 2016, I published the podcast, which in many ways is the extended version of our conversation at the Kee Club, albeit recorded beforehand.

A remastered version of a little TEFL song I made a few years ago. It's quite popular with my students (the original has 600 views at the time of writing - not bad for me!). I had shot the original footage in 1080p, but I had edited it on Windows Movie Maker, and so it had suffered a lot of degeneration. I thought I would have a go at remastering the song and colour correcting the video. It's also slightly wider and the subtitles (surtitles?) are better quality. I think the extra width slightly spoils some of the jokes, but maybe I'm just used to the original...
An interview with Ray Hecht, author of South China Morning Blues, published by Blacksmith Books. I experimented with filters and EQ to remove low-end frequencies and to boost our voices.

Some improvements to the garden, including a wooden shelving unit rescued from a closed-down shop. The spinach didn't survive the cold snap, and the sweet potato almost died, but has returned stronger than before. 
"Bucking the trend of embarrassing self-promotion that makes up 98% of today’s arts media content, mention of Jame’s books is followed by useful, in-depth discussion and generous advice about crime writing, international publishing, and how to stick to your guns as a contemporary author."
An interview with another HKWC member, Pat Kozyra, and an essay from me reflecting on eight parenting books.

"News, How-To's and interviews from the heart of the Hong Kong literary scene."
A new podcast with Jame Dibiasio to re-launch the HKWC Podcast on Libsyn. I tinkered with the format a little bit too.
