Abstract

Since its inception, the film and television media has existed squarely at the juncture of art and technology. Media forms like music videos, streaming services and even blockbuster Hollywood films have exemplified this inextricable link. In the past three to four years, though, virtual productions have swept through the world and have been described by insiders in the United States and Europe as marking a "point of no return" for the overall industry due to their real-time ability to produce special effects content. Such technology is gaining momentum in Hong Kong too. In March 2024, an international-level professional virtual production studio officially opened in the city, ensuring that local production is keeping pace with the rest of the world.
