As my film output winds down (although I will be doing more "local" films in the future) I have decided it is worthwhile to revisit some of the locations to see how they have changed (or not) over the years. I could use Google Streetview to be lazy but I feel that these images can only be done proper justice if I physically go and try to match the image (as best as I can given lens length etc) in person.
Anyway, here is the stuff I have covered so far as well as the film that the location originally features in. This list will obviously get bigger in future. I've also added a Now/Then label so you can just list everything I've done at once. The list below is by the 3 major regions (HK, KL, NT) and then by district within those wider regions. I hope to have examples from all 18 districts at some point.
