Anti - Smoking Sweets vs Anti - Smoking Campaign!

The other day we came across the most odd and awesome named candies: "Okuda No-Smoking Candy" and since we are good friends with Micheal Chan who is the official face of the Government's most recent anti-smoking campaign (yet is a smoker himself), we thought it would be a VERY good idea to put these Anti - Smoking Candies to the test. And the test was:

Anti - Smoking Sweets vs. Anti - Smoking Campaign of the Hong Kong Government , to see which was truly more effective in stopping people from smoking for good.

To see the results of our little experiment check out the video below:



Here's the original Government Anti - Smoking Campaign:





That's how we do it Crazy from Kong style!

Simon Birch Film Project

A couple of weeks ago on a Sunday, I had a very interesting day indeed!

In fact I spent that Sunday acting in Simon Birch's new film project as Matthew Barney, a famous US artist who's best known for the Cremaster Cycle and the Drawing Restraint series.

I'm sure you all know who Simon Birch is, but in case you don't I can tell you that he is an amazing artist who produces inspired and original work. Check out one of his pieces:



You can also click on his name above to check out more of his work.

At any rate, Simon has recently been invited to put together the largest private art installation in Hong Kong by Swire Properties. It will include a selection of paintings, sculptures and the very same film project which I had the pleasure of holding a small role in. Lots of other interesting people came down to get involved in the project and I thought I'd post a few photos here.

Race Wong 黃婉伶 Fast Forward Trailer

Well things are really coming together with Project Race and getting more exciting by the day!

One of the most exciting developments of this last week was the launch of our first official trailer video, Fast Forward, shot by Arne Venema and Jona Chung Dha Lam and edited by Arne. It really helps to bring together a lot of the background footage of the recording sessions and shows both the seriousness and the fun on an amazing creative project. Thanks for putting this together guys!

Check it out:



Featured in the video are of course Race Wong, Kelvin Avon (Afreex), Jennifer Chiang, Candy Lo Hau-Yam 盧巧音, Arne Venema, Chan Wing Him and even myself (hiding in the background).

It took several weeks to capture all this footage, hence you can really see the creative process coming together. Apologies that we are not yet ready to release more of the music, but don't worry it will be seeing more of it here very soon.

Here are some background photos taken over the same weeks as the video was coming together.
