Are you seeing beyond boundaries?
*What are the challenges and opportunities for 3D? Call for research papers
at 3D Storytelling 2012*
Deadline for Abstracts: Monday 5th March
The Latin for perspective is perspicere (to see through), seeing beyond
boundaries or beyond solidity. The Greeks attempted to evolve a system of
perspective around the 5th century B.C. as part of an interest in
illusionism and Renaissance artists took this further by developing
techniques of using the third dimension in art (Kemp, 1992). Impressionists
such as Cezanne broke these ‘rules’ by arranging objects in order of
importance rather than distance from the viewer.
Playing with the Mise-en-scene, or finding new ways to tell a story using
the third dimension, is the theme of this second international conference
on 3D stereoscopic media (principally Film and Television). 800 industry
delegates will be attending the free two-day conference and we invite
papers and presentations from researchers who would like to share their
work in this area.
Technical, economic and cultural approaches are welcome, in particular
topics which encourage a critical analysis of the opportunities and
challenges of 3D Television and Film. Production and audience perspectives
will also be of high interest to delegates as will ethnographic studies
which combine applied and basic/pure research, for example explorations
into a ‘glasses-free’ experience, or on children’s experiences of 3-D
stereoscopic media. We will schedule themed panels in response to the call.
Presentations should last no longer than 15 minutes. If you wish to submit
a paper/presentation, or if you wish to suggest and chair a panel, the
deadline for submissions is Monday 5th March. Please send a 500 word
abstract to: Lizzie Jackson, [log in to unmask]
The conference is supported by Screen International and draws together an
existing community of over 400 directors, producers, technicians, and
manufacturers who formed an online community of practice after last year’s
conference.
We are keen to support all researchers and doctoral students who are
researching this area. If you wish to attend, but not present, please send
me an email stating your particular interest.
