14/12/2017

I re-recorded my Christmas song with slightly different chords (and very different instrumentation) and shot a new video for it.
The music video is tied to a fundraiser I'm doing for Save the Children - click here to donate before the end of Christmas 2017.

In January, I was made chair of the Hong Kong Writers Circle, of which I'm very proud.
​​I interviewed Lawrence Gray about his novels Adam's Franchise and Cop Show Heaven. Click the picture to visit the podcast page and listen.

​I appeared with the HKWC to present the lastest HKWC anthology Future Perfect. I also recorded the readings (see the Zoom H4n Pro on the mic stand), which will be released soon.

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.

Proverse Readers' Club videos

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.

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.

"Did You...?" remastered in HD

2/6/2016

0 Comments

 
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...

Three music videos to accompany songs in courses I teach. For each, I wanted to make the songs more engaging (or, in other words, to turn them into karaoke videos) and learn something new about video production.
