The 16th annual VIEW Conference, Italy's premiere annual gathering of industry professionals presenting the latest news and trends across all areas of the digital arts, including Computer Graphics, Interactive Techniques, Digital Cinema, 2D/3D Animation, Gaming and VFX, has announced this year's stellar lineup of Keynote Speakers. Please see: http://www.viewconference.it/
We are honored and thrilled to welcome four amazing artists, Mark Osborne, Randy Thom, Jorge Gutierrez and Shannon Tindle, to Turin for this year's VIEW conference as our Keynote Speakers, says Professor Maria Elena Gutierrez, Director of the annual conference. I know their presence will inspire our audience of students and professionals.
The VIEW conference will take place October 19 to 23 in Turin, Italy. The curated conference, which celebrates its 16th year, features talks, panel sessions, workshops, and awards for outstanding work. This year's accomplished Keynote Speakers are:
** Mark Osborne, a multiple award-winning director of a beloved animated feature film, recently directed the animated feature film version of a beloved novel. Osborne received Oscar nominations for directing the animated feature film Kung Fu Panda, and for the short animated film, More. He also won an Annie Award for directing Kung Fu Panda, as well as many film festival awards. His latest film is The Little Prince, based on Antoine de Saint-Exup ry's novel. After initial screenings, the animated story of a pilot who meets a little boy from another planet received a 100% approval rating from critics tallied on the Rotten Tomatoes website. At VIEW, Osborne will pilot attendees through the challenging creative process he and his team underwent to translate the classic French story into an animated feature.
We wanted to pay tribute to and honor this poetic and much beloved work and introduce new readers to the fantastic world that Saint-Exup ry created more than 70 years ago, Osborne said. The Onyx Film production releases in Italy on December 3.
** Randy Thom, the Director of Sound at LucasFilm's Skywalker Sound, is the winner of two Academy Awards: for Best Achievement in Sound Editing for Disney/Pixar's The Incredibles and for Best Sound for the live action feature film The Right Stuff. He has also received 14 Oscar nominations for sound and sound editing on other live-action and animated films, and two BAFTA Award nominations. This year, Thom was Supervising Sound Designer and Supervising Sound Mixer for director Robert Zemeckis' The Walk; and Supervising Sound Designer both for director Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak and director Steve Martino's animated film, The Peanuts Movie.
In his VIEW keynote, entitled Teaching the Camera to Listen: From Apocalypse Now to The Peanuts Movie, Thom will use film clips to deconstruct the visual and sonic nuts and bolts that hold films together, and show how to use sound to build better movies in the future. Fox/Blue Sky's The Peanuts Movie releases in the U.S. and Italy on November 6.
This is the second VIEW conference for keynote speaker Randy Thom, who says, Mixing the finest media artists on the planet with fresh Northern Italian white truffles, aged Barolo and Nebbiolo, and the ambience in Turin, ensures that the VIEW Conference this year is going to be delicious. I've experienced the VIEW once before, and I can't wait to go back this year - Turin is fantastically beautiful in October! The VIEW presentations are great, and the conversations in the hallways, restaurants, and bars are exquisite. At the VIEW event, you can catch up on the latest in media art, and rub shoulders with some of the coolest people around. Yay the VIEW!
** Jorge R. Gutierrez received an Annie Award nomination earlier this year for directing the animated feature film The Book of Life, and won an Annie Award for the character design in that film. Previously, he received a Daytime Emmy Award for the Nickelodeon animated television series El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, as well as many Annie nominations for the series. At VIEW, during his talk titled Every Picture Tells a Story, Gutierrez will take attendees on a wild, 25-year journey by presenting work from his Emmy Award-winning student film, his first animated web series for Sony, TV pilots for Disney, his Nickelodeon series, and his first feature film. In doing so, the Mexican animator, painter, writer, and director's journey is sure to inspire all attendees, whether students or professionals.
** Shannon Tindle's keynote address will lead directors, storytellers, and other VIEW attendees into a future that would have astonished Antoine de Saint-Exup ry. Tindle's short sci-fi film On Ice, which premiered during Google's Comic-Con panel, features a giant bear on ice skates. The 360-degree video designed for mobile devices allows people to explore all angles of the wacky story. It's Google's newest Spotlight Story, and it uses a brand new SDK (software development kit). Before directing On Ice, Tindle was a Character Designer on three features, The Croods, Coraline, and Curious George, as well as numerous television series and movies, including Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, for which he received a Primetime Emmy.
We always try to bring an intriguing group of artists to Torino from all areas of the digital arts - 2D and 3D computer graphics, interactive media, digital cinema, animation, gaming, and visual effects, Conference Director Gutierrez adds. Our speakers inspire each other and the attendees. I can promise everyone that in addition to the spectacular keynote speakers we've just announced, this year's Guest Speakers will also astound and delight everyone who attends.
