Hang Lung Properties — Hang Lung V.3: A New Chapter in Corporate Strategy
Use this as a referenceProject background: communicating a property strategy
‘Hang Lung V.3’ sets out Hang Lung Properties' development strategy around three pillars: expansion in core cities, growth in return on investment and an improved customer experience. Darkroom Studio was commissioned to make a corporate film explaining the group's property development and management work, together with its future direction, to investors and the wider public.
Visual development: AI and future architecture
To visualise developments that had not yet been completed, such as Westlake 66 in Hangzhou, we incorporated AI image techniques into the production:
AI-assisted architectural imagery: Using architectural CG images supplied by the designers, we applied AI image-to-video techniques to introduce movement. Static designs became moving visualisations that offered viewers a preview of the proposed buildings.
A portfolio across core cities: The film moves between cities including Shanghai, Kunming and Hangzhou. Brisk editing and on-screen data, including the supplied ‘+200% Street Frontage’ figure, present selected aspects of the property portfolio.
A sustainability direction: Motion infographics explain the sustainability themes presented in the film, including low-carbon materials and LEED certification.
Creative outcome: turning strategy into a visual narrative
The film translates a complex business strategy into a visual story for an international audience. AI-assisted imagery addresses the lack of live footage of future buildings, while the combination of location filming and graphic explanation presents Hang Lung's development plans in a clear, contemporary format.
