    paper AACA 2025: Vision Mixer w Ross Carbonite panel

    Honored to return as the Vision Mixer for the Asian Academy Creative Awards Gala for the third year running.

    Operating the Ross Carbonite panel for a high-stakes, 40-category live broadcast requires absolute precision. It was a pleasure working with Randel again—his tempo and direction make managing a fast-paced gallery seamless.
    Great synergy leads to great productions. Looking forward to the next one!

    paper Message from the Godparent (RDJ)

    Had the chance to camera op, coordinate the production crew, and handle equipment for this shoot in Singapore 🇸🇬

    Nothing too fancy… but not everyone gets to say they’ve filmed RDJ 😏

    🎬 Watch here:

    paper <Title of the Show>

    Directed and Camera Op for this project, leaning heavily into a Cinéma Vérité aesthetic.

    The goal was to use handheld movement, reactive zooms, and “fly-on-the-wall” framing to create an authentic, raw energy—all optimized for a vertical format. It’s a fun challenge to capture that documentary feel while keeping the composition tight for social platforms.

    Keep an eye out for the full show!
