Hong Kong Search Stories: Search for the Tourbillion

Like most promotional videos, dialogue plays the main role in the sound mix. However, we have requested for a specific spot to stand out the sound effects just for a little bit, without music and without dialogue, just sound effects alone, the Toubillion near the end of the video. It's something that people won't see everyday, it's something that's so delicate and fragile that it's an art of horology, so why not make it an end statement to end the video?

Hong Kong Arts Centre’s ifva partners with Google to present a series of short films, “Hong Kong Search Stories”, through the 18th ifva greenlab commissioning project . The collaboration aims to provide a nurturing environment and creative opportunities to talented homegrown directors. Three ifva (Incubator for Film & Visual media in Asia) award-winning directors have documented three heartwarming tales of individuals in Hong Kong who explore and realize their dreams with Google Search as the common thread.

The three ifva award-winning directors, Jessey Tsang Tsui-shan, Ming-kai Leung and Chris Ng Ho-yin, directed the “Hong Kong Search Stories” series, consisting of three short films: Search for the Taste Buds, Search for the Dream of the Red Pavilion, and Search for the Tourbillion. The three stories are constructed in completely different settings but they are all stories of real people’s positive hopes and dreams.
