Selected Works

World without Oil

2009-12-04T06:30:00.000-08:00

Production Company : Triton, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Tenn

An incredibly testing edit, even if the cut doesn't show it. Through a combination of live shooting and time-remapping, we had to show how the world would function without oil. The sound design and music were also a challenge, in the end I think we choose the correct decisions.

Samsung_Touch

2009-12-04T04:55:00.000-08:00

Production Company : Triton, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Nine

Great clients on this one, one's that notices the board actually had too much information in and then asked the director to help them reduce shots, but tell the same story. A lot of playroom with the effects at offline gave the clients a good indication of what they could expect - helping smooth the presentation process.

Nissan_Jungle

2009-12-04T03:29:00.000-08:00

Production Company : Triton, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Tenn

This was a really fun edit to work on, a lot of the work was done in post so it required a lot of imagination as regards to the timing of shots.

Lexus_Sense

2009-12-04T03:02:00.000-08:00

Production Company :Triton, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Tenn

The brief from the director here was luxury and speed - and how we can execute both in an elegant way.

I enjoyed working on this edit because of the amount of freedom the director allowed, it was also a lot of fun to experiment with the different speed ramps. I like the idea of introducing the music later, highlighting the sound the car makes.

Thai Airways_2009 Campaign

2009-12-04T02:33:00.000-08:00

Production Company : Joy Luck Club, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Jamie Quah (Running Water, KL.)

The agency and director teamed up for the second year running and luckily, I got to edit again.

The footage was shot as if it were a documentary film, so choosing the precise moments became the challenge - that and convincing the client about the music. Overall, I think the film worked out very nicely - I can look back on the edit and be happy that we all achieved our goal.

Thaitainium - Baby, Whats Up ? (Music Video)

2008-06-26T05:30:00.000-07:00

Production Company : Macho Mango, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Rajit
The director and I had just finished a job for the latest Toyota Yaris.
Thaitainium ( the best-known hip-hop artist in Thailand,) had starred in that and written the song for it. The band then decided to release an MV featuring a longer version of the song. The basic idea for the clip is 'the last supper,' Toyota also wanted a piece of the action so the director wrote in the story of the girls arriving at the party (in the cars.)
I really enjoyed working on this piece, I was given pretty much carte blanche as far as the editing-style is concerned. It was essential to disscuss ideas and plan techniques in pre-production - with a reduced budget we decided to take as many photos as possible and put them together using different editing-techniques. It certainly helped that the D.O.P. was also a top photographer - although this was his first time operating a film camera.
NB : The band refused to perform any 'sync' takes.
Thankyou to P'Joe the D.O.P. aka J_Surat.
Many thanks (also) to Finito Films, for the use of the Online facilities. ;)

Lumix Ken 30

2008-06-17T20:35:00.000-07:00

Production Company: Film Factory,Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Michael Warr

Generally working with P'Mike is a real pleasure, most times I've worked with him he's experimented in one way or another - this times being no different.

Music turned out to be a real issue, but I think we found the right one - eventually.

Johnsons 60

2008-06-17T20:29:00.000-07:00

Production Company: 21 plus, Shanghai, China. Dir: Eva Munz

This job was a bit of a marathon, with a lot of footage to choose from we only had 3 days to edit and then another 4 days were reserved for the endless stream of client tweaks.
In the end, I was very happy with the edits, the soundtrack too helped to add to the touching element so important to the film.

It was the first time I had worked with this agency, but it was also a lot of fun.

Racer 45

2008-06-17T20:05:00.000-07:00

Production Company: Cases Films, China. Dir :
A Chinese car company went into production with Lotus, here's the result.
A very cool director/producer team that made the job great to work on, I was happy with the end result but am still unsure about the music.

Amild - Soundrenaline 60

2008-06-17T19:56:00.000-07:00

Production Company : Running Water, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dir : Jamie Quah.
An interesting, creative way to advertise what essentially was a rock concert.
The key was to create a rhythm to cut to that not only built towards the end but also to hold shot for a sufficient length for the viewer to coomprehend the notes onscreen.

ICI Plastic 40

2008-06-17T19:24:00.000-07:00

Production : Running Water, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dir : Jamie Quah.

A surreal look at the lengths some people will go to to create the perfect environment at home -
and, of course, the actual solution.
A beautifully simple spot which became almost defined by it's music - we tried countless tracks but this Tierrsen composition provides enough grace, semblance of surrealism and normality all at once.

Samsung 45 sec

2007-11-14T19:05:00.000-08:00

Production : Phenomena, Bangkok, Thailnad. Dir : Satit

JVC 30sec

2007-11-14T18:42:00.000-08:00

Production : ANA Film Network, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Khun Kaew

UOB 60sec

2007-11-14T18:10:00.000-08:00

Production : Finito Films, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Michael Wong
Multiple scenarios linking a common goal. Here, the challenge was about imagining the end result at the offline stage.

Suzuki Tata 60sec

2007-11-14T17:40:00.000-08:00

Production : Finito Films, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Adam Strange
My first time working with this director and quite a challenging job. The edit should come across almost like a film trailer, showing the psynopsis of a story rather than be based on continuity editing.

Petronas 60sec

2007-11-13T19:21:00.000-08:00

Production : Oxygen Channel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dir : Steven Aung
Four different cars, all using the same oil in varying environments. Although heavily CG based, the dir asked me to try and craft the edit to some extent.

Double A Robot 30 sec

2007-11-13T19:04:00.000-08:00

Production : Phenomena, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Kanin
Don't ever get mad at your photocopier. This was the first time I worked with this director
and this post team (digital magical, BKK.)

Nescafe Cappucino45sec

2007-11-11T19:43:00.000-08:00

Production : Film Factory, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Tony Potts
The perfect coffee for every girl.

Sunsilk Taxi 30sec

2007-11-06T20:37:00.001-08:00

Production : Muan Jai Dir : Jonathan Leonnard
A quirky take on the benefits of using a certain brand of shampoo.

Goodyear 45sec

2007-10-22T11:22:00.000-07:00

Production : Hub Ho Hin, Bangkok, Thailand.
007 from the perspective of the Goodyear clients.

Fineline 45sec

2007-10-22T10:44:00.000-07:00

Production : Amano FIlms, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Thierry Notz
A step back in time to the days when men fought with a blade of steel and women fought back with especially soft fabrics.

Priston Tale 45sec

2007-10-22T10:32:00.000-07:00

Production : Phenomena, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Kanin
A rocking spot for an online game, with nice special effects from Digital Magic (TH.)

iMode 40sec

2007-10-22T10:25:00.000-07:00

Production : Planet FIlms, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dir : Farouk
A pop-art based 2d commercial which required heavy compositing at the offline stage, I also tried to use an almost robotic style of editing so the human element was as neutral as possible.

Afra 3min Music Video

2007-10-22T09:40:00.000-07:00

Production : W&K Lab, Tokyo, Japan. Dir : Eric
A simple idea but nicely executed, the cutting involved a lot of compositing, timing and generally working in tandem with the effects house, (Ocean Monsters, CA.)

Aquafina 45sec

2007-10-22T09:26:00.000-07:00

Production : Phenomena, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Satit
An artists impression of how to create an interesting photo shoot.
Beautiful grade and choice of music aid the spot with their simplicity.

Hotlink 60sec

2007-10-22T09:17:00.000-07:00

Production : Planet Films, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dir : Farouk
A lot of compositing, mixed with a few editing techniques creates a 2d environment through which the actors rock through the city.
Fun to work on and well designed (by the House Projects,) from the pre-production stage.

Lux 'Womans World' 60sec

2007-10-17T03:57:00.000-07:00

Production : Amano films, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Wicky
Lux tried to break away from the normal 'beauty' commercial, this is a surreal take of what the world would be like if we were all a little more female orientated.

Hutch 60sec

2007-10-16T06:11:00.000-07:00

Production : Triton, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Tenn
A touching romantic drama compressed into 60 seconds.

Dove 60sec

2007-10-16T06:04:00.000-07:00

Production : Big Blue, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Eva Munz
Originally four girls were chosen with only two to actually go on air, the director and I thought they were all just as appealing as the next and decided on a sixty second combined to achieve what we'd set out for.

Rosso SIlver 45sec

2007-10-16T05:55:00.000-07:00

Production : Triton, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Tenn
My first men underwear commercial, quite a quirky idea and nicely executed.
Edited on the lightworks.

Sime Darby 90sec

2007-10-16T05:49:00.000-07:00

Production : Chilli Pepper/Film Factory (BKK) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dir : Mike Warr

A combined National Day and environmental friendly commercial.
A nice experience to work on, five days to edit and a lot of footage to sift through.
The music was pre-defined so it was like a jigsaw puzzle getting the right
combination of shots together.

Coke 60sec

2007-10-16T05:35:00.000-07:00

Production : Planet Films, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dir : Farouk

The editing was created for a remix of the buddy holly song, however, once we'd place the original music onto the clip, the cut seemed to flow a lot easier.
I'm not sure if this one ever made it to air like this, I recall a re-edit done sometime down the line after the client reconsidered the freeze-frames.

Toyota Camry 30 sec

2007-10-16T05:21:00.001-07:00

Production : Triton, Bangkok, Thailand. Dir : Nine

A nice little story that fits nicely into thirty seconds.
I don't work with Nine very often so it was nice to help out a friend who was under a tight schedule to finish.

VW China 45sec

2007-10-16T05:09:00.000-07:00

Production : Radical Media, Sydney. Australia. Dir : Nik Robertson.

The agency had wanted a mix of beautifully shot environments contrasted with the power and flexibility of the car.
This was a fun edit to work on with lots of room to play with effects.

Honda Civic 30sec

2007-10-16T05:02:00.000-07:00

Production : Passion Pictures, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dir : Jamie Quoi

The task was to create something new, slightly edgier than was achieved previously.
I thought the best way to do this would be to create an original soundtrack, which could then dictate the pace of the editing.
