Case study
Buddha Tooth Relic
Tang dynasty architecture over Chinatown, seen from above.
Overview
A Tang-styled temple, framed against its own neighbourhood.
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum sits at the heart of Chinatown on South Bridge Road, its design drawn from Tang dynasty architecture and shaped around the Buddhist Mandala. This promotional film uses aerial coverage to show what a street-level visit can't: the temple's full form, its rooftop details and its place within the district around it.

Creative focus
Reveal a familiar landmark from a new vantage point
Most visitors know the temple from the pavement outside. The creative focus here is the view only a drone can give — the symmetry of the roofline, the layered architecture, and the temple's relationship to the shophouses and streets of Chinatown around it.
