A day of changes comes when hard working Japanese woman Amaya in Hong Kong meets a foreigner – charming man, Paul. Their meeting dramatically changes Amaya’s perception of her cultural and personal identity. Their life changes forever.

Amaya (Kaori Momoi) in her late forties has nothing apart from her job as masseur and marriage counting 25years with Chinese husband Renshu, laundry worker. Their life goes peacefully and each day is the same – dull. A day of changes comes when Amaya is invited by Tao, her boss and brother of her husband, to train massage techniques a small group of local people. Suddenly a foreigner, Paul (Andrius Mamontovas), joins the course. Paul is in a charming man in his early forties. He leaves an impression of lighthearted superficial adventurer to whom this trip is yet another occasion to spread his charms towards local women and to leave some broken hearts. In Hong Kong Paul meets his ex-fiancé Lori (Kristine Nevarauska) and experiences dramatic return in times when they used to be together, revealing old and painful wounds.

A relation that appears between Amaya and Paul is special. Their meeting dramatically changes Amaya’s perception of her cultural and personal identity. Paul and Amaya find a common language through the touch of fingertips. Amaya’s life changes forever and so does Paul’s.

„Mans Lielais Klips” veidots dziesmu sērijas „Mans Lielais Singls” oriģinālversijai, kura dienasgaismu ieraudzīja šī gada maijā.

Video pamato dziesmas ideju, kas slēpjas mūsos katrā – spēja motivēt sevi un pa pusei pilnā glāzē ieraudzīt tieši pa pusei pilnu glāzi, nevis pustukšu. Klips arī parāda domu, ka mīlot to, ko katrs no mums dara, paveras pavisam cita pieeja lietām un citas iespējas. Klipā paralēli ir uzsvērta arī dabiskuma loma.

„Vienmēr pienāk kāds brīdis, kad maskām jākrīt. Tāpēc arī šajā klipā mēs centāmies parādīt to, ka dzīve bez tām, dzīvojot to dabiski, ir vienkārša un skaista. Kā? Piemēram, speciāli klipa filmēšanas procesā izvairījāmies no tādām it kā pašsaprotamām un, iespējams, pat obligātām lietām, kā grims un make-up”, tā saka Gacho „Vēl ar klipu vēlējāmies aicināt katru neapslāpēt savas emocijas un sapņus tikai dēļ bailēm, ko citi par to varētu vai nevarētu padomāt. Jūtaties brīvi un izmantojiet dzīves brīžus darīšanai, nevis plānošanai. Turklāt, papildus arī klipā ir atainota doma, ka ne vienmēr materiālās vērtības ir noteicošās, lai varētu skaisti baudīt dzīvi.”

Darbs pie klipa aizsākās uzreiz pēc dziesmas publicēšanas, maijā un tikai pirms pāris dienām tika pabeigti klipa veidošanas darbi. Visilgākais laiks tika veltīts klipa filmēšanai, kopumā gandrīz divi mēneši, jo ļoti daudzi kadri bija atkarīgi tieši no laika apstākļiem, tomēr jūnijs nebija no siltākajiem un saulainākajiem mēnešiem.
Klipa filmēšana veikta ar Canon EOS 7D fotokameru, līdz ar to klips ir viens no pirmajiem Latvijā, kura filmēšanai izmantota fotokamera. Pasaulē EOS 7D fotokameru filmēšanai izmantojuši daudzi jaunie operatori, pamatojot šādu izvēli ar fotokameras piedāvāto dabīgo un precīzo attēlu veidošanu, kuri vēlāk nav jāpārtaisa.

Klipā filmēšanā piedalījās daudz sava žanra ievērojamas personas un talanti. Vienu no galvenajām lomām klipā tēloja Latvijas topmodele Luīze Salmgrieze.

Transformers 3 was in the making outside of my work on Michigan Ave over the weekend. I spent 5 hours there with my camera looking down on it. I missed the explosion, but got Shia’s reaction to it at the end which is funny to watch.

The main character in this short is William Turner, a janitor whose life seems mundane on the surface but as it develops, many interesting layers are revealed. We shot his boring existence in the present day at 24fps utilizing the new Canon 5D firmware.

As William’s life unfolds from present day to the past, we shot with the Canon 5D at 30fps and pulled it in at 24fps to give it a slightly dreamy feel. The creamy Canon ‘L’ series glass delivered the period look that we were hoping to achieve.

Featurette: A Digital Magazine Motion Cover and Feature for the iPad

With the iPad release a mere few weeks away, it’s only appropriate that we release our own bit of goodness.

Together with co-directors Cory Strassburger and Ming Hsiung, we produced a motion magazine cover and feature spread for Viv Mag – an all digital magazine, which would allow us to create content that will be able to live on the iPad and other tablet devices where digital magazines can live.

Check out this featurette, which goes behind the scenes and shows how we put it all together.

Special thanks to Campion for taking a risk with me. Without the bravery of a good client, we wouldn’t be able to bring you work of this caliber.
