From Victorian President, Warwick Field ACS
Dear Members,
Regrettably I am compelled to retire from my position as President of the ACS Victorian Branch due to pressing professional and personal obligations and commitments.
In 2013 I took over the Presidency. They were big shoes to fill after Alan Cole ACS had led the ACS for 4 years. I was feeling very much out my depth, but with the support of Alan and my fantastic committee during the indoctrination period I soon felt empowered to take the reins of ACS. We have since made great steps forward with the Branch driven by a commitment to our members and the constant hunger for education, advancement of technical skills, sharing of the art, the nurturing of emerging talent and the rewarding our a vast talent pool at our Annual Awards for Cinematography. It has been a great ride for which I am sincerely grateful for being afforded the opportunity to add my voice to the history of the ACS. I believe we have achieved a lot and forged many new and exciting opportunities, events and relationships in the industry. Cinematography is in a very exciting transition as it joins all the other art forms and media in the global arena in a more interactive and immediate way. The Victorian Branch can be extremely proud to have among our ranks cinematographers acclaimed on the international stage. Given our relatively small population, it's quite remarkable that we boast such a high percentage of world class cinematographers. It's not by chance. Their success is due to hard work, commitment, diligence, continuing education and striving for perfection. It is also because we, the Australian Cinematographers Society, try very hard to create an environment that supports and inspires cinematographers and that possibly gives them the opportunity to continuously improve their craft. I unabashedly credit our ACS for being part of that. Moving forward, the ACS will commit to its agenda to serve and support cinematographers and those fans of cinematography. I don't doubt my successor will take ACS Victoria onward and upward. But please remember they can't do it alone. The ACS is not "them", it's also "you" and "me". Our society can only be as good as our members and together we form something worthwhile and of value. Take part, take part ownership, get involved, put up your hand, attend events, show off your wonderful work to your friends, family and colleagues. Be proud. It's not always easy being a cinematographer - sometimes it's the long hours on set or the long time away from home, the unpredictable diary, perhaps the tough conditions, occasional self-doubt, and always the pressure to deliver. So take the praise and benefits when they come and be the one at the party who when asked, says "I'm a cinematographer" and you see their eyes light up. "Really? Cool", they say. It's a special career, a passion and the ACS supports you. See you at the next ACS Event. Regards
Warwick Field ACS
