Thanks BrandStory and The Cathay for the invite !
Finally I get to see it myself what is Cathay Motion Picture Awards all about.
In the past , I get to see it advertising on social media and if I am not wrong last time The Cathay have this space for people to go in to take a look at all the video submission and there is even seats carter.
Happily dress up for this occasion.
Guests and Participates are gathering together for a chit chat session and not forgetting with all
the yummy food available for us !
All time favorite dessert
Despite being early, we still manage to enter the hall and guess what ?
We were the only guests inside the hall while the rest were the sounds personnel.
We sat down and listen to them doing all the testing.
This is what I do while waiting for everything to start!
Let me give you a summary of what this Cathay Motion Picture Awards is all about !
Its a short film competition which Cathay have started in 2012 to celebrate Cathay Organisation's 77th anniversary. Since then , seeing overwhelmed support , this has been an annual signature event with its 4th iteration this year. This year the theme given to the team were " Memories". It's paying homage to Cathay Organisation's 80th anniversary this year. Participate will need to come up with an 80 second film within 80 hours when the competition started on 2 May 2015 12pm and ended on 5 May 2015 8pm.

My phone die on me and I did not manage to snap their group picture :(
Overall, I really enjoy myself ! I can't believe they manage to come out with such a good film within 80 hours. Most of the touching film , I did tear because you can totally feel it just by watching the film. I personally feel that to produce a good film , you need to catch the attention of the viewer if not your film is really cannot make it ! One of my favorite video is (Reminisce) by Banana Split. It's so touching and I love how the flow the film is like ! Thanks Cathay for the copy and now I can get to watch my favorite film again at my own comfort.
