All three will present further workshops or talks during the conference.
No matter what form digital media takes, at its center is the story and VIEW 2013 offers an inside look at storytelling from renowned professionals. Javier Jimenez co-founded the studio Mirada with director Guillermo del Toro, director Mathew Cullen and director of photography Guillermo Navarro and has since collaborated with leading creative minds in feature film, television, advertising and literature. David Misch,author of Funny: The Book / Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Comedy, has been a comic folksinger, stand-up comedian, and screenwriter.

David Volker, Creative Director of Moonbot Interactive will offer games as an expressive medium.

Sony Pictures Animations Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, give the closing keynote and in between offer a workshop on creating the wacky Foodimals stars of their animated feature. Also taking attendees through the making of animated films are Pixar Supervising TD Christopher Burrows, who helped create the stunning backgrounds in the short film Blue Umbrella, and Sandra Karpman who offers The Secret Camera Rules of Pixar. Bruno Chauffard will present the making of Despicable Me, writer/director Stephan Franck will present his animated special The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow, independent filmmaker Peter Chanthanakone tells attendees how to accelerate the 3D animation pipeline for independent short films, and Massimo Carrier and a crew from Maga Animation Studios offer a layout workflow for CGI action TV series.

During the conference, attendees can master CG tools and techniques in the many practical workshops on specific software tools. And, because we all know that it takes more than artistry and software skills to create a successful career, Matteo Lana and Rocco Tartaglia from Tiny Bull Studios share the joys and sorrows of being Indie developers, Antonio Farina gives his advice to Indie developers, David Salesin, who leads the Adobe Creative Technologies Lab, which he founded in 2005, gives his observations on doing research and on creating sublime user experiences, Glenn Entis, co-founder of PDI, former CEO of DreamWorks Interactive, and Chief Visual and Technical Officer of Electronics Arts, and a founding partner of Vanedge Capital, shares lessons learned from a career in digital media, or The Talk I Wish I Had Heard 36 Years Ago.
