AB005 Carrefour China - Kiew Ee Fun, Edwin (EKEF) -- Nanyang Business School, NTU

[cellprof]

Overall: Satisfactory piece with clear message. Focused on what to do, neglecting how and why. Extent to which 1. Content meets requirements? Somewhat incomplete.

2. original & creative Analyses? Lists actions & impacts

3. uses Time well? Short, sweet, largely to the point.

4. logical & actionable? good decision criteria. Nice effort to justify from financial perspective.

5. uses Multimedia? Nice yet unobtrusive animation. Clear narrative complements images

Bro this is so mint i had to watch it in 720HD!

No kidding, wow wow wow. Very informative and relevant, fab usage of 'non-tacky' animation that held my attention throughout every second of it. Stuck through most of the 'theory' bits because of clear, comprehensive explanation, coupled with bright colours and stupendous animation techniques. Great job. Interesting ideas. Great voice too.

And no, Edwin did not post this comment. lol. Keep it up bro, u've got a gift. God bless!

[bringmickey]

wow, great stuff there! very interesting to watch! keep it up!

[vsboy]

Wow that was very educational, an interesting corporate presentation.

I find it fresh that NTU business provided this opportunity for their students, and I watched a few other videos to compare. Yours is definitely the most informative.

[youzhi87]

i really enjoyed this! it is really very nicely done. did you use flash to do the animations?

[goodgirloftheyear]

wow edwin this video is amazing! very very professional indeed! :D

[edwinkiew]

thks guy for the suggestions and comments! finally another project i really took lotsa pride in...and yes i went down to carrefour singapore to film some shots!

[cherrieye]

Absolutely great! Good use of the mixture of pop art and real people, coupled with matching music for the theme. The pace and analysis was well developed which makes the grasping of ideas and concepts a breeze. well done!

[WuSuFan]

WOAH! It's really great! Catchy intro, cool graphics etc... and YOU DID THIS ON YOUR OWN? WOW. haha

Did u film some of the scenes urself??

[yunyoutan]

Very well researched. Visuals are easy to follow and effectively reinforce the main points. Charts and video footages are well interlaced, which adds great dynamism to the presentation. Can consider selling it to Carrefour!

[oreoorangesg]

Enjoyed this video immensely. This topic could have went very dry but you went to great lengths to make it very interactive, very colorful and entertaining! All these while maintaining a constructive flow and keeping focus on your main ideas. Dint have to rewind at all to capture your points! Must been a lot of effort especially on the painstaking details~ Hope you get an outstanding grade for this! :) - ed

[antagon19]

Heys edwin! The video is greaT!

I didnt know you did this until i heard your voicE! my goodness!

It looks very professional :)

Absolutely an A+ standard!

[RichieLiao]

One of the best videos ever!!!

[ericmjl]

Very impressive!!!!! I liked the subtle reference to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, just cause I'm up here in Vancouver and had a blast of a time here!

On another note, I found the video quite educational. Very sound and well-thought recommendations, professionally animated and designed, and conveyed in a fashion that was accessible and understandable. Awesome job!

[DouLiYu]

well done! very impressive animation and informative presentation! However, it is a bit like giving a lecture, a more impassioned tone would make it even better, haha

[baldmynah]

Succinct and professionally filmed and put-together! Amazing job! I especially loved the domino-animation showing Carrefour's aims and positioning. The EMS portion was a bit too wordy though - a suggestion of gd examples of EMS would be nice. But so professional! Good job -andrew

[Goliathe]

very informative and professionally done! i'm impressed with the animations.

[fabiantanzy2]

very comprehensive with excellent visual and sound aiding the content in the video. It is easy to understand with minimal usage of jargon or technical terms and clear narration! Also like the simple introduction of Carrefour's history and objectives. Job well done! (:

[czsh]

Great job there! I was really impressed by the quality of the video, animations and content put in place.

The analysis and recommendations were sound and really feasible to be put in place. However, these recommendations would be more respected if it were to be audited and certified by well-known institutions, for example, the LEEDS standards. The rationale is that it is difficult to measure the effectiveness of the recommendations and how much it can contribute to this green movement.

[happyface1628]

i loveee the music, and the animations really help in my understanding of carrefour china's objectives. the pronounciation was good too, but mayb, more zest is needed in the voice to engage the audience better??

great job, edwin!! =)

~steph

[edwinkiew]

weixiang, thanks for the comments. the confusion with the pronounciation  went like this. i did an earlier recording rendered as "car-foo", subsequently checked BBC news n the reporter read it as "car-four" instead. i think i didnt change e first segment, sry for the confusion.

agree with u on the swallowing of words, haha had a hard time reading e long lines...there was one part i had to NG 10 odd times. first try at this video-making thing, good hands-on nonetheless

[weixiangg]

3. At about 1:23, the vid flashed that there are "3 Issues to building a green store." You went on to describe these issues, however it would be good to flash the numbers "1", "2", and "3" for clarity as well.

4. At 2:50, you mentioned the "Geothermal project" as a suggestion, but laymen will not understand if you do not continue to elaborate.

Pointers aside, this is very professionally done and I can easily envision it being showcased in a real business meeting :) good job!

[weixiangg]

Hi Edwin,

A great informative video combining superior technical and video skills, a natural and refreshing sense of aesthetics, and cold hard effort. However here are some pointers so that your vid may be a Youtube hit :)

1. Some words were mispronounced or swallowed, and I had to listen hard so that I didn't have to repeat segments to catch what you mean. Most glaringly, you pronounced "Car-foo" at first, and "Car-four" in the middle onwards. You may have to find the correct pronounciation.

[Yumirin3710]

very nice video! It's easy to understand Carrerfour's businesses in China. お疲れさま！

[hiroshi020983]

The clear narration and appropriate visuals certainly made the video very engaging! Your one week of blood and sweat was certainly worth it (and you know that too!)! Great job!

[kasstersoh]

great video flow with fitting music and clear narration. informative without being complicated. thumbs up from me!

[b0h3mian]

very clear explanation on all the pointers. well done! :)

[anthonykan87]

professionally done, great video and soundwork, content comprehensive and well thought out yet not overloading! =)

[liny0045]

Excellent recommendations with proper evaluation. I like the clear transitions between one point from another and the wordings at 2:48. The music and clips like at 2:16 are great too.

However, it would be good to also include how were the reduction in costs like 2:29 and 4:25 calculated so as to further strengthen your point in building a green store. But the overall as a whole is excellent. Great job! :)

[thomasng87]

This is certainly one of the most impressive videos that I have seen so far! I believed alot of effort and hard work has been put behind in order to produce such a high-quality video.

The analysis and concepts presented are clear, interesting yet not overly-informative.

I will definitely have to say that it is really an excellent job done, Edwin! (=

[redshoe02]

Great work, I didnt know much about carrerfour's businesses in china, especially "going green", until your video. Great  breakdown and explanation of it's policies as well.

[msbobochacha]

Great animation to illustrate the issues and concepts. could have slowed down the pace slightly at the recommendations part. overall it's a fantastic analysis and engaging video presentation.

[akailong]

pleasant music and narration aside, content is well-organised and easy to understand.

overall, a very insightful video! good job!

[lmj8808]

very impressive:) the video is easy to follow~

[edwinkiew]

Thanks guys, as much as getting this video up was a pain in the ass, i kinda enjoyed doing it =) pls tell me my one week of blood n sweat was worth it...haha!

[guanyun]

very well-presented and engaging with interesting illustrations and statistics to backup findings (:

[apinchofmilk]

what an experience this was! not only was your analysis sound, you've kept the presentation engaging and professional throughout! well done man!

[milkiapple]

engaging, enriching and professional (:

[priscillachua06]

Awesome video! It illustrates informative concepts through interesting animations and was substantiated with relevant statistics. Great job!

[showronn]

Wow! i enjoyed watching the video (:

Clear presentation which is quite easy to follow. Excellent work! =D

[ChristopherCheang]

the pace was very good, and choice of snippets of video to air was suitable. i did not feel like this was a presentation (which is a plus point, which smth i thought was a weakness in my grp's presentation), as it was very engaging and lively. the criterion/decision matrix helps stakeholders prioritize and eases their decision making process. pleasant to watch, and definitely a great piece of work.

[pigX]

It's very good! Great job there!=)) Excellent concepts I see! =)

[gortmilk]

Congrats with this excellent production and analysis Edwin! You brought many informative content to the table in a concise and attractive way. =D

[005simran]

WOW edwin.... Excellent work!!! Very well thought out and put forward. All the best :D
