For many years, we've taken video just for fun. Albeit some of
our members did work as freelance, video production was too
professional for ordinary people. For most of the time, we had little
chance to share them with other people. Let alone movie taking, playing
back the wheels of film was a nightmare to noice. The great
leap-forward of digital technology has empowered everybody simple,
practical and affordable equipments for creating his or her own video
in a much easier way. Even a cell phone has a built-in video camera
capable of taking video as good as the obsolete but expensive super
eight film camera for amateur hobbiers. Every body now become a witness
as well as a reporter of the great issue at the great moment. Moreover,
with the internet, all people in the world can now be your audients
seeing what you've seen and hearing what you've heard. We believe
that the nature and actual life are the essense of art which
will bring inspiration to the artist and vigour to his work in
the process of creation. All these video created by our
colleagues are now released to the pubic free of charge under our "UM Free Art License". These are
only part of our portfolio. We keep working on the authoring of our
archieve and releasing them to the public from time to time. As what we
believe in still pictures, they are not just some kind of
artwork but may serve as documentation of the development of our world
in the last few decades. Just click and view.
