5 months ago
16 February 2008
Traditional end of New Year Celebrations in Tong Fuk Village, Hong Kong.
1 Dragon, 4 Lions and 2 Unicorns performed for the 2,000 villagers of Tong Fuk and guests from neighbouring Lo Wai, San Wai and Shui Hau villages.
Daytime worshipping of Village Temples, Gods/Goddesses, followed by 8 century old traditional 'Big Basin' meal.
An event usually reserved solely for the Tang and Chan clans of Tong Fuk village, I was very honoured to have been invited to join their festivities.
Hope you enjoyed a little bit of a fast vanishing tradition.
Thank you for watching.

You originally from HK too?
Pete, I like to hear your comments on the Sanyo HD1000 and the iMovie, I am thinking to switch to Apple.
Once again your videos are A+.
Thanks again for the compliments Pebbles. I am certain that your switch to Apple will be a wonderful one!
If there's any place you would like me to tape of HK, previous home, school etc, I would be more than happy to do so!
And thank you too for liking our vid.
Loved your video of the rollercoaster on wings. ;D
Wish I could do something like that.
I enjoyed seeing how this camera can perform and the content was a blast.
A couple of questions if I could?
About the scene at night where there are a couple of guys in front of you in the viewstands. I see some bright lighting toward the edges. Did you provide your own lighting here or was that provided by the organizers or was it just sort of there?
You obviously are very comfortable and capable doing this so after hearing many horror stories about not being able to edit this storage format effectively what have you found works?
Lastly do you work for Sanyo ;>)) Probably should!
The lighting was provided by the organizers. There was one very large spotlight shining at me around 10 metres behind and above the lions and unicorns, as well as several smaller spotlights to my immediate left and right directed towards the crowd.
I too heard many stories about people having problems editing this particular format, though I suspect they are all from Windows users. I'm using a Macbook and the supplied iMovie HD software to edit, and it's quite simply a copy and paste thing then doing whatever editing is required, and finally doing the conversion to .mov. I'm quite certain though that with the right editing software, editing and conversion on a PC should be just as painless.
Work, or should work for Sanyo? Goodness no. They would most probably point at my other footage and laugh, then wince, then throw me out the building for putting their HD1000 to shame :) But thanks so much nonetheless for your very kind words!
So far, all of my clips were shot at 720P 60fps.
Edited in iMovie HD and exported as H.264.
Used the Vimeo suggested compression guidelines vimeo.com/forums/topic:4331 with the exception of using a Data rate of 5000 kbits/sec instead of 3000 kbits/sec for a hopefully better quality.
Hope this helps!
