We started to do a 3-D short film on Hong Kong rocks.I used the Sony EX-3s again for compact size to be able to mount on cranes and jibs. Ki is the director for the 3-d film and I am glad that we share similar views in aesthetics in 3-D. I got a very brown tan during the shoot and when we are filming in Tung Ping Chau, I could not resist the thought of taking a shot of myself right next to China there....
