Dreamers HK: Whats Your Dream in Life? LamWooStudio 2011-03-25 | http://cmestudio.wordpress.com What is your dream in life? In this video, the first part of our series entitled Dreamers, we look at CM (a professional session musician, arranger and producer, who also goes by the name of CMgroovy) and Chan Yat-kuen (an artist and retired teacher). This is a 2nd version of the same video (we have fixed some mistakes with the titles, editing and color corrections). We also conducted interviews in the street with passers-by and learned how varied our hopes and aspirations can be. These street interviews were partly inspired by the "Fifty People One Question" series of videos. http://fiftypeopleonequestion.com Though, this is a documentary, we decided against using narration. It is up to you, the viewer to interpret the message of the video. The two main interviewees took two very different approaches to achieving their dreams, but can we say that one approach is better than the other? We would like to thank all the to the interviewees for sharing their dreams with us. 'Dreamers' is a Dreamers 2011 Production. The video was produced by a team of Form 4 (Grade 10) students at SKH Lam Woo Memorial Secondary School in Kwai Chung (Hong Kong) Director: Winsome Wong Video editors, interviewers, camera operators, photographers: Evangeline Hung, Teresa Ng, Maggie Lai, Winsome Wong Produced by CMe Creative Media Studio Website: http://cmestudio.wordpress.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/CMe-Creative-Media-Studio-SKH-Lam-Woo-Memorial-Secondary-School/165829820111994 Project Supervisor: Stephen Richards http://longzijun.wordpress.com Stephen also composed the background music.

You pretend to know me a lot. In fact, what do you know? I lost my way in a crowded street. You said you will come and find me, But you never keep your promise baby. Is this all a dream? I am so confused I just want to scream out loudly. Difficulties keep coming in streams. Although no one stays with me, I still wanna pursue my dream. I will make my own way Until we meet again one day. The way that I'm looking for-- I still don't know what it will be. I will fight forever and ever. You said you know everything about me-- The things I do; The things I won't do You pretend to know me a lot. In fact, what do you know? I lost my way in a crowded street. You said you will come and find me, But you never keep your promise baby. It is not a dream, undoubtedly. I just want to scream out loudly. Difficulties keep coming in streams. Although no one stays with me, I still wanna pursue my dream. I will make my own way Until we meet again one day. The way that I'm looking for-- I still don't know what it will be. I will fight forever and ever. Time goes by; We need to say goodbye. Don't be surpised; Don't ask me why. But what I heard is someone sigh. I will be fine. Although no one stays with me, I still wanna pursue my dream. I will make my own way Until we meet again one day The way that I'm looking for-- I still don't know what it will be. I will fight forever and ever.

Dreamers HK: Pages of Life ~ Working Elderly in Hong Kong (ThinkSeries Award Winner 2010) LamWooStudio 2010-02-12 | http://cmestudio.wordpress.com This student-produced documentary, which was entered in Wiseman Education's ThinkSeries Competition (Junior Secondary Division), is about two elderly men, Mr. Wong (a hawker) and Mr. Ng (a shopkeeper) who, in their devotion to their work, show faith in themselves. Here is Mr Wong on Google Maps http://maps.google.com.hk/maps?q=kowloon+tong&hl=en&ll=22.334139,114.172701&spn=0,0.002084&z=19&brcurrent=3,0x340407335121d4d5:0xea6602cb7ee084f0,0,0x340400d4376c85e1:0xcab6faa04b58a8a7&layer=c&cbll=22.334139,114.172701&panoid=7-tTlAVupC4kYSfAFiJlZw&cbp=12,164.25,,0,-2.08 In the competition, this award won the ThinkSeries Award (for more outstanding documentary) in the junior secondary division. They started their respective businesses over fifty years ago and have never thought about retirement. Although they have faced obstacles over the years, they have also gained a lot. Why have they never given up? We believe it is their faith in themselves and their search for dignity which has allowed them to persevere. We'd like to thank Mr. Wong and Mr. Ng for giving us their time and sharing their views with us. 這個學生製作的紀錄片, 用作參賽 Wiseman Education's ThinkSeries Competition (初中). 該片段是關於社會上的老年人士,受訪者為黃先生和吳先生. 黃先生和吳先生雖然年老,但他們依然對自己的工作十分有熱誠和信念. 兩個老人家工作已經有五十年,但他們從未想過退休 五十年間,經歷過無數的起跌和障礙,他們學會了很多 為什麼他們從未放棄過理想呢? 是因為他們我信念,令他們一直堅持,忍耐. 多謝黃先生和吳先生的時間和分享.
