台灣的九把刀,在網絡成名後拍攝了一部超賣座的電影,九把刀似乎就便得對各位同學有點距離。反而,這幾位美國年輕人的成功故事,可能是同學們更好的借鏡。只要對創作和製作有興趣,其實有很多空間讓大家發揮,YouTube的免費平台,電腦和軟件也越來越便宜,當然拍攝器材和技術也普及了。對於真的對創作和製作有理想的朋友,除了沒有恆心和時間,應該沒有什麼好藉口的了。
事實上,香港這些年也有不少年輕獨立創作人在網絡上成功發圍,但似乎仍未成功到Wong Fu Productions的地步,反而大部分時間停留於「惡搞」、「反叛」等題材上,這也可能一個瓶頸。
借鏡Wong Fu Productions的成功經驗,各位同學不妨加多磨練:
- 發崛並堅持自己的形象和風格 (才容易吸納對創作人的支持者,而不只個別熱門題材內容的點擊率虛火)
- 不斷學習的心態 (成名雖然不是預計之內,但卻努力do the best to deserve it)
- 成為知名人士的心理準備 (Wong Fu Productions現在其實已經有如藝人了)
- 表達能力 (在鏡頭面前能暢所欲言,而且能展現親和力)
- 挫折當閒事 (成名前不少project也無疾而終)
- 懂得適當地賺錢 (影片免費任睇,但卻懂得成為YouTube partner,也開發tee售賣等)
香港近年興起不少結婚攝影團隊,三數個年輕人,一身型格黑衣,架生齊全,擒高擒低,左穿右插,兼即場剪片,製作很受年輕人時尚風格的影象和影片。這類公司也間中替品牌製作影片,風格入流,質素不錯之餘,價錢更比傳統的production house便宜很多,marketing人和廣告人也應該多加支持。
希望同學們也能找到自己的創作模式,而且受到很多人歡迎。廣告界如果有更多的本地Wong Fu Productions,除了解決一向導演很忙的問題,也可能會帶動一番新景象。
請各位同學加油!
Wong Fu Productions的自我簡介
Wong Fu Productions first started making videos in 2003 at UC San Diego. Starting as friends and dormmates Wong Fu Productions is now Wesley Chan, Ted Fu, and Philip Wang.
We are a growing independent production company working fulltime on various parts of our business.
We create short films, music videos, vlogs. Writing, directing, editing, everything on our own.
We started a tshirt brand, Nice Guy Design, completely designed and run by us.
We go on tour speaking at universities and also started the concert series ISA (International Secret Agents) with Far*East Movement.
As emerging artists and filmmakers, we hope to continue to improve our craft, grow as a company, and reach people with our work.
We never had the intention of making Wong Fu what it is today, but we know we’re very lucky and will do our best to deserve it. We believe we can have a positive influence in this industry, and on our audience…and if we can do this, then we know we’re doing something right.
