LUMINANCE BY SIMON YAM

RESPONSIBLE FOR EDITING AND COLOUR GRADING

A FUN PROJECT WITH A WELL-KNOWN ACTOR IN HONG KONG, SIMON YAM'S RELEASE OF HIS CLOTHING BRAND WAS IN COLLABRORATION WITH FOUR FASHION DESIGNERS ACROSS HONG KONG AND CHINA (ARIES SIN, HENRY LAU, MOUNTAIN YAM AND PONDER:ER) AS WELL AS A 1-OF-1 CARPET PIECE DESIGNED BY SIMON AND CRAFTED BY TAI PING CARPETS.

THIS PROJECT WAS A SOLID CHANCE FOR ME TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT EDITING STYLES AND COMBINING SLOW AND FAST PACES THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO. I STARTED OUT BY CRAFTING SAMPLE TRANSITIONS FOR THE VIDEO USING STOCK FOOTAGE AND SOME HOMEMADE TRANSITIONS, AN EXAMPLE OF WHICH CAN BE SEEN BELOW.

FURTHERING THIS, THE PROJECT GRANTED ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ON HAVING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT STYLES OF COLOUR GRADING IN ONE VIDEO, AND CHALLENGED ME TO CREATE A COHESIVE OVERALL GRADE WHILE STILL CREATING A DISTINGUISHABLE VISUAL SEPARATION BETWEEN THE COLLABORATORS OF LUMINANCE'S FASHION PIECES.

OVERALL, I THINK IT WAS A PROJECT THAT I CAN DEFINITELY SEE MYSELF WANTING TO TAKE PART IN AGAIN, AND IT SOLIDIFIED THE IDEA THAT I CAN WORK IN A PROFESSIONAL AGENCY WITHOUT FEELING AS THOUGH I AM FALLING BEHIND.
