Videographer's Journal: Run & gun with Justin Chan



Biography Videos. Another innovative product from WolFang Digital, is a delightful video that features YOU. One drawback about Biography videos is the limited time at our disposal to complete one. In our case, the interviews were quick because our client was had a tight schedule to work with. Videography sessions with luminaries like Justin Chan required that we not compromise on the quality of the video. This means less time for setting up and testing but the deliverable had to be top notch.

To counter this obvious disadvantage, we traveled with a small studio's worth of equipment and worked with a skeleton crew of 3.

The main challenge with this series of Biography Videos was the script- our objective was to let Justin speak freely, although within relaxed guidelines.

We had the privilege to visit rising star, Justin Chan in his home: a posh and contemporary two storied apartment in the centre of town. Appearing at ease and amicable, Justin made our job a breeze. He composed songs, played the guitar and even sang a few lines for us.

Justin told us that he has gotten a place of his own and would soon move out of his parent's home to accommodate his plans for a bigger audio production studio. Justin is apparently a family man with deep concerns for living up to his role as big brother to his siblings (Matthew and Jayde). While admiring his aspirations, we were taken aback by his congeniality. Most celebrities tend to be arrogant. Justin shares with us that having a humble attitude will take you to higher places.

I personally take this opportunity to congratulate Justin on his new company, BeanWorks Productions. I'm sure his future looks bright.
