霓虹的製作 The Making of Neon Signs | NEONSIGNS.HK 探索霓虹

[@djneon8637]

As a new neon bender this speaks to me so hard. Thank you!

[@DrowningInTea]

好久沒看過這麼有質素的本地紀錄片！

[@MashMaloCircus]

great light installation, really appreciate how they combined traditional chinese calligraphy and neon light at the same time, really hope I can buy smaller pieces to support them

At 3:30 Hotel Miramar Nightclub - my late father was the General Manager of Catering - I remember it was a great large hotel w/ water fountain in the lobby

[@joycewong4685]

Thanks for making a documentary on this topic. I have been to Hong Kong long ago and it these signs never brought any attention to me. They looked old and unattractive, but after watching this short, I gained more respect for these signs because they are apart of Hong Kong that cannot be replaced! Also love the cinematography, has a similar filter as those 80s(?) HK films! :)

[@Mozeart]

Neon will live on, and evolve with the change.

[@vicromono4799]

A dying art. A museum is opening in The Dalles, Oregon. I am looking forward to it.

[@sirdouchebag4570]

I went to Oregon once but I never knew it!!

[@vicromono4799]

I hope you enjoyed the visit.

[@GETTUM0]

Best subtitles I've seen so far from Cantonese to English. :O

[@suseeutube]

This is like the art of making mechanical watches. Exquisite craftsmanship and a lifetime of dedication. Sad that its going out of fashion. Wish artists take this up and propagate it.!

[@dancoulson6579]

Really is a shame that neon tubes are fading away and being replaced by LED. I always think true neon looks amazing. I even have one in my bedroom as I love them so much. LED looks terrible for signage. Too glaring, and bitty light comes off them. Neon gives a steady, soft, uniform glow throughout the entire length of the glass tube. Much better. Also fascinating the way the different phosphors work with the two gases to produce so many different colors. I never knew the neon gas would excite a phosphor, I only thought argon could. You learn something new every day, huh?!

[@jjss3055]

That's like saying a photograph is superior to an illustration. Only someone who doesn't appreciate art would think that way.

[@jjss3055]

+Greg Chess First of all, Calm down. I never said illustration is superior to photography, read my comment again. Second, LED and Neon do not look the same, meaning you can't make an LED sign look exactly like a neon sign so when it comes to art you cant say one is superior to the other.

[@andybaldman]

This is such a wonderful film. I am a huge lover of neon, and am sad to see its decline, but it is special to see some of the talented craftspeople who create and maintain it. Thank you so much for making and posting this.

[@k1773ns]

was very sad towards the end but an interesting look on yet another technology that is fading away and becoming obsolete.

[@asa226]

Thanks ! Thanks for recording it down !!

[@Versedian]

Cool video, never really thought about the process before, truly is an art form and its sad to see LED is causing it problems.

[@Teckno77]

Absoutley fascinating, I hope this lighting technique stays alive. LEDs are ok but the art in true neon signs is beautiful.

[@jukilo5510]

Very meaningful!! I started to appreciate those neon signs Thanks for making this video

[@UncleFeedle]

I got a little neon sign for my living-room. It's amazingly bright and easily lights the whole room. It also has an organic quality to it that LED just can't match. LED's look cold and synthetic in comparison.

[@andersdenkend]

Wonderful! Thank you so much for this documentary.

[@yuchoy1]

Fantastic video!

[@thelastneonbenderonearth4017]

Love this little Documentary.

[@lily121127]

how do you support them? I hope there business booms once again

[@jetsmets2]

[@kane01337]

1080p version? Neon deserves as much quality as possible! :)

[@Spottieottie666]

What is the song that starts around 9:20?

[@iamfuturetrunks]

Great video.

[@GHexagon7209]

shit nearly made me cry at the end :(

[@SmileToMyMod]

Really lovely!

[@zibbachiu]

Only Hong Kong this process? Other countries do not have it?

[@genghiskhan7703]

Amazing

[@winsomma]

this is so good

[@SB-ew8ug]

Where can I buy one of those transformers they show at 6:44?

[@TheMachStick]

Sébastien Bourdeauducq you'd probably have to make one yourself duud, or go to china and apprentice under one of these amazing masters.

[@vicromono4799]

These transformers are extremely high voltage (up to 15,000 volts). You can find them just about anywhere. Ebay, amazon, or local sign shops. They differ in size according to the length, diameter and type of gas. High voltage doesn't always kill but it can jump to the closest grounded object (such as a person) and with the proper amount of amperage, it could ruin your whole day.

好难维修，好难找师傅，我的大招牌坏了8年都没办法修复

[@ngangela4774]

Hello👋🏻 唔好意思，我想問一問你哋有無呢條片裏面嘅霓虹招牌師傅嘅聯絡方式，我想邀請佢哋接受一下訪問🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@hkeld8675]

Does anyone know what happens to the old signs they take down?

[@OEMSpecAutos]

HKELD They throw them away, why else would they take it off

[@Sinskita]

Honest question: Are there no words for neon and argon in Cantonese? Wikipedia has 氖 and 氩, so why does he spell them (N-E-O-N and A-R-G-O-N) instead of using those words? Sorry if this isn't Cantonese. I don't speak any Chinese languages and I just assumed, since it's HK.

[@nodedelta-alpha]

The reason being those words would be known only by people who studied Chemistry (and English at certain level to know how to pronounce such words) before. It is possible that the old people in the video never went through that part of education, and was already working in the industry for a living at a young age. That is why they spell it out, as if these Chemicals are product names like X.O., V.S.O.P etc.

[@Sinskita]

Hola Ah, that makes sense. So chances are that he just saw a label "NEON" and didn't realize that it was a word rather than an acronym?

[@nodedelta-alpha]

DallasisaLeo Yes, I think that is the case.

[@DrowningInTea]

Actually, Hongkongers seldom refer to chemicals in Chinese. It's easier to memorize in English :P

[@RockWen]

非常好的紀錄片，香港沒有霓虹燈就不是香港，文化局應該要補貼讓這個行業維持

[@CannibaLouiST]

毀滅香港之華夏文物，正是北狄賊黨任務。

Chicken intestine?

[@Sinskita]

Every industry has its own strange names for things they use every day. When there's not an official name, you just name it after whatever it looks like. In this case, they obviously think that part of the glass looks like a chicken intestine.
