DFS T GALLERIA

We were asked by Duty Free Services (DFS) to produce a film documenting the making of the logo for Singapore's new T Galleria store.

CHINA with Oracle

A five day shoot for IT giant Oracle takes The Deck from the streets of Shanghai to the mountain villages of Anhui province.

The film tells the story of Ying, who leaves her remote village for life in Shanghai. Using Yihaodian's online shopping portal and nationwide delivery infrastructure - empowered by Oracle Exadata - Ying is able to make sure her parents back home are getting all the food and provisions they need.

Rapha Returns!

The Deck's latest contribution to The Rapha Continental series is in post production. Our last film, shot among the volcanoes of Central Java has now been viewed on Vimeo almost 35,000 times. Hoping that Sa Pa gets even more hits.

Thanks to the Rapha team for having us along on the trip. A real expedition, with a flight to Hanoi followed by an overnight sleeper train up into the mountains close to the China border.

The original music score for this film is being composed by Melbourne based composer Aaron D'Arcy of Ripon Studios.

The film was directed and is being edited by Jon Moore at The Deck.

Here are some stills taken by filming partner and photographer Andrew Loiterton.

Back to the Himalayas!

Middle of August, somewhere in them there hills.

The Deck's next adventure is in pre-production. In and around Sapa in northern Vietnam.

Java! THE RAPHA CONTINENTAL

The Deck ventured deep into volcano country to shoot our latest film.

Three days on the road - and unsealed tracks - with the cycling team from Rapha. The trip took us up 25% gradients in 42 degree heat and pushed the team to the limit as they took on seven of Java's volcanoes, including smoking Mount Merapi.

Filmed and edited by Jon Moore and post-produced at The Deck's Singapore studio.

Stay tuned for the next episode in The Ring Of Fire, somewhere in Southeast Asia.

Thanks to Adam Horler, Adam Taylor-Campbell and the rest of the Rapha team in Singapore and Hong Kong.

And special thanks to Bryan Hoare at Mesastila Resort in Java.

MUSIC MATTERS LIVE on YouTube

The Deck partnered with Singapore Polytechnic this week to produce three days of live coverage from the main stage at Music Matters Live, part of the All That Matters Music and Digital conference in Singapore.

The initiative was a two-way partnership to help promote undiscovered international music artists, while giving local students the opportunity to gain experience of live production.

The live HD YouTube webcast was the first of its kind in Singapore. More than forty international bands performed for a total of eighteen hours as The Deck took twenty-five students from keen and green to slick and professional, all with a budget of $0.

Jon Moore looks on as Shawn Ang directs his five cameras and Shandis Wong edits feature packages

Visiting VIPs from Discovery Channel, MTV, CNN, SXSW, YouTube, Google, GraceNote, Singapore Tourism Board and many more poured on praise as they watched the young crew drive the five-camera setup under the guidance of Producer Jon Moore of The Deck, Nicholas Chu of Singapore Polytechnic, Streaming Director John Wigglesworth and Senior Cameraman Chris Dickinson.

A key part of the production setup included a split-track audio recording and dedicated broadcast mix of the performances, handled by the polytechnic's music and audio recording students and supervised by Geoffrey Low.

The bands performing live included Gary Nock (UK), Kate Miller-Heidke (Australia), Early Rise (Israel), Midnight Youth (New Zealand), Dustin MacGahee (USA) and Manafest (Canada) together with a strong lineup of regional artists from Singapore, Malaysia, Korea and China.

YouTube registered tens of thousands of hits and the Music Matters Live Facebook page Likes soared to more than 55,000 as the weekend got underway. Some of the footage will be used in a one-hour feature to be broadcast on MTV this month.

For some of the best live music coverage you're likely to see on a shoestring, check out Day 3 of Youtube.com/musicmatterstome, Directed and Vision-Mixed by 19-year-old Shawn Ang, who had never cut live music or keyed a super before the morning of the event.

Phew!

Special thanks to Sony and Panasonic for providing some of the key equipment.

i-India: School On Wheels

The Shaw Must Go On!

Goa to Pokhara, two weeks and 3000km through India and Nepal in a 150cc Auto-Rickshaw! In September 2009 we signed up for The League of Adventurists' Autumn Rickshaw Run. We put three complete strangers behind the handlebars and joined sixty other teams on a unique, bizarre and totally unforgettable journey from the shores of the Arabian Sea to the foothills of the Himalayas.

Tiger infested jungles, monsoon floods, river crossings, Delhi belly, and more than one empty petrol tank - would they make it? What would they have to do to get there? How would they get along as they bumped cheek-to-cheek for ten hours a day?

From quaint Goa, climbing through Maharashtra, exploring the forts of Madhya Pradesh, threading through the side-streets of Bhopal, crossing the Ganges to the ghats of Varanassi and on to the serenity of Lumbhini - the birthplace of Buddha - and to the Himalayas beyond.

Electrico "Faces"

Recorded overnight in a studio somewhere in the heartlands of Singapore. Thanks to Dave, William, Desmond, Marcia and the crew for their hard work that night. We saw the sun come up.
