Hong Kong is Home. from Javin Lau on Vimeo.
Stunningly beautiful and highly creative video of Hong Kong shot from all sorts of angles using all sorts of beautiful ideas.
An absolute watch whether you've been before or not. The film was created by Javin Lau who first arrived in Hong Kong ten years ago.
"I felt like I had walked into an actual movie set. It was a place that I had only seen on TV as a kid, with its strange red taxi’s, odd stop lights and driving on the other side of the road.
My intent with this project was to
illustrate the grandeur of Hong Kong that most people would never get to see.
When I had recently watched the movie Oblivion, it had somehow starkly reminded
me of Hong Kong, with the feeling of being so insignificantly small -- almost
irrelevant to my surroundings. Hong Kong is an unbelievably dense city, where
much of the world can be accessed at your fingertips. But in a city where you
can access the material world in a matter of seconds, it also has the ability
to isolate you from the 8 million people around you as well. With this piece, I hope that you are able
to engage in this contradiction."
