Time flies.  Our generation of filmmakers in the past 30 years have to be grateful that they have not only witnessed the golden time of Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s and lived during the most important era of Chinese film, but also undergone a major equipment revolution and experienced the transformation from analogue to digital.  The technical scope involved in these changes is extremely comprehensive, from pre-production to shooting to post-production.  The filmmakers even have to be well versed in cinema projection system and handling of 3D motion imaging.

In the process of technological developments in the area of cinematography, the Hong Kong Society of Cinematographers has spared no effort to co-organize many seminars and workshops in the past 30 years, and continuously explore various aspects of filmmaking and strive to keep up with the latest innovations as learning is a never ending process.

I hope that every member of the Society will not forget their aspiration and will adhere to our mission and strive to achieve our goal and contribute to cinema in Hong Kong and China.

時光飛逝，回首這30年當中，這代電影人還是要感恩的，不僅見證了八、九十年代香港電影輝煌的時光。現今活在第一大的中國電影年代中，還經歷了器材一個大革命，從菲林正式轉為數碼，當中牽涉的技術範疇極為全面，從前期至製作期，以至後期，甚至影院的放映系統都要瞭若指掌，還有實拍3D的把控。

在這方面的技術革新過程中，香港專業電影攝影師學會在過去30年不遺餘力的協辦了不少研究會、工作坊，不停探討各範疇的進展與時俱進的追求，不停學習。

希望各會員能夠不忘初心，牢記使命，永遠奮鬥到底，能為香港及中國電影貢獻一份力量！

In the blink of an eye, I have entered the creative field of filmmaking more than 30 years and experienced numerous ups and downs with bitter and sweet ones.  Filmmaking has honed and made me what I am now and given me strength, ideas and vision.  It lets me continue to dream in the universe of light and shadow.  Looking back at my 12 senior and best friends of 30 years, they overcame all kinds of difficulties and finally established the Hong Kong Society of Cinematographers that truly belongs to professional cinematographers in Hong Kong.  Since its establishment the Society has played an important role with its aims to enhance the professionalism and encourage exchange of technical information among stakeholders, and these have invigorated me all along.

On the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Society, with support and encouragement from my close friends and doyens, I have accepted to take up the post of Chairman.  Like our predecessors, I would first bring together our members and endeavor to promote and further advance our Society.  We would then keep pace with the times and encourage exchange of technical information among stakeholders so as to benefit the whole film community.  With your kind support, I would continue to do my best to serve our members and contribute to the Society.

During our mutual growing up period, I have always appreciated HKSC members’ Professional and commitment spirits, they always try very hard with the ultimate goal of helping film director in story telling visually, and in most of time, under great stress due to limited resources, I must salute to their spirit and professionalism.

At the same time, Cinematography technology also undergoing a great leap revolution, digital cinematography has been radically changed since year 2000, and nowadays, digital technology has been common practice from shooting to digital projection in cinema worldwide. I hope that, within my limited technical knowledge in this profession, I can still contribute my effort to support HKSC in area of technical training to keep up with pace, striving forward to keep up, and mutual sharing.

各位:

我是Tony(魏天明)，從基層起踏入香港的電影業，輾轉已經五十多年了，在這五十多年中，見証了重要的香港電影攝影工業從七十年代”新浪潮”發展到今天，從中認識了不少的HKSC之創會會員，當然也包括了永遠榮譽會長-黃岳泰先生。

在彼此共同成長的過程中，我十分欣賞HKSC同人之專業及拼博精神，他們努力不懈地協助導演利用動的影象來述說電影故事，並且很多時候都是在有限的資源裡完成任務，實在令人動容！

同一時間，電影攝影技術也進行了大革命，從2000年開始的數碼化，至今已經大部分從前期拍攝到電影院放影都是Digital的世界了。我希望在我認識的技術領域裡能儘我一點點棉力，去協助HKSC在電影業的技術培訓上能夠與時并進，不停地邁步向前，跨進新時代，共勉之！
