Founder/Director Society of Motion Imaging Lt

I joined the SMPTE Hollywood Section as student member in 1974, and I have been since been so impressed by the passion of SMPTE’s participants in media and entertainment technology. I was one of the strong supporters when SMPTE-HK was established in 1994 as Membership Chair, and then I became Section chair from 2003 to 2014, as well as from 2018 to 2020. In 2017, I was honored to receive SMPTE’s Life Fellow status. In 2008 I was invited by A.S.C - American Society of Cinematographers to be the Associate Member. In 2016, I set up the Society of Motion Imaging Ltd with four other professionals in Hong Kong to support more education, training, seminars, and workshops for the film and tv industries. Furthermore, I am also honored that the Hong Kong Society of Cinematographers honored me with the “Professional Achievement Award” in their 30th anniversary in 2018. In 2020, I was elected SMPTE Asia-Pacific Region Governor for 2021 to 2022. In 2021, I also joined SMPTE RIS on OSVP as contributor to support the RIS initiative. My goal is to support the reach of SMPTE in Asian regions, and I aim to add values to SMPTE members including SMPTE student members.
