VIEW Conference è un importante evento italiano sulla computer grafica che si tiene ogni anno a Torino, tra ottobre e novembre. La manifestazione si articola in più giornate fatte di eventi (inizialmente gratuiti, ma da alcuni anni solo a pagamento) aperti al pubblico: ospiti internazionali (tra cui numerosi premi Oscar), anteprime nazionali, proiezioni, un'area espositiva, presentazioni e incontri, Master Classes e lezioni tecniche tenute da esperti mondiali e importanti aziende del settore (da Softimage a NVIDIA ad Autodesk), che forniscono un'occasione formativa extra-accademica rivolta a tutti.

La storia

Nata nel 2000 come Virtuality Conference, cambia nome alla sua ottava edizione, nel 2007, e diventa VIEW: Virtual Interactive Emerging World. I contenuti si ampliano: pur mantenendo tutto quanto concerne la realtà virtuale, VIEW si apre alla tecnologia digitale di ultima generazione e alle sue applicazioni (dall'animazione agli effetti speciali, dall'architettura virtuale ai videogiochi, dal design al marketing territoriale e ai beni culturali).

Di anno in anno, VIEW si pone come obiettivo un'offerta all'avanguardia e aggiornata della realtà virtuale e delle tecniche interattive, riservando un'attenzione particolare alle applicazioni industriali, all'ambito della formazione e a quello del cinema.

A partire dall'edizione 2005 (VIEW indice), nasce il VIEW Award, un premio internazionale per cortometraggi con animazione 3D e VFX. Nel 2012 nasce un nuovo concorso, il VIEW SOCIAL CONTEST, rivolto ai creativi, ai designer e agli appassionati di grafica digitale, per introdurre temi legati all'attualità e al sociale.

Secondo gli assessori Cirio, Coppola e Giordano, “View Conference si lega al nostro territorio proponendosi non solo come alto momento di studio e riflessione sui media digitali - attraverso lezioni, workshop, conferenze, incontri, mostre, proiezioni - ma anche come una concreta occasione per proporre e discutere progettualità innovative, puntando l'attenzione su settori strategici per il futuro e sulle opportunità di crescita, in particolare per le nuove generazioni”^[1]

VIEW Awards 2016

Il VIEW Award è il premio internazionale per cortometraggi di animazione 3D e VFX dedicato ai talenti emergenti dell'animazione e degli effetti speciali, che vede la partecipazione di giovani artisti in concorso da tutto il mondo. I vincitori vengono selezionati da una giuria internazionale, composta da esperti nei vari settori del premio e da direttori e professori di provenienti da scuole di animazione in Europa e in Nord America. Il termine ultimo per la presentazione delle opere è il 15 settembre 2016.

Workshops

L'arte della creazione del Color Script. Ogni immagine racconta una storia (Michael Kurinsky): Michael Kurinsky condivide approfondimenti e conoscenze frutto di oltre 2 decadi di lavoro nell'industria dell'animazione. Partendo dalle sue prime esperienze come matte painter e visual development artist, fino al ruolo di production designer per Sony Pictures Animation, Michael illustrerà il suo percorso verso la comprensione del colore come strumento al servizio dello storytelling. Utilizzando numerosi esempi, Michael racconterà la creazione dei color script per “Boog & Elliot a caccia di amici”, “Piovono Polpette” e “Hotel Transylvania” 1 e 2.
Introduzione al Texturing con Substance Painter per Giochi e 3D (Simon Fenton): Questo workshop sarà un'ottima introduzione per l'innovativo tool di texturing 3D Substance painter, pensato per i giochi e l'arte 3D. In una prima sessione introdurremo interfaccia, strumenti e flussi di lavoro per finire con una buona comprensione di come funziona la texture in 3D. La sessione 2 consentirà uno sguardo più dettagliato alla texture painting con materiali realistici e a come la texture può essere esportata per l'utilizzo in giochi come Unreal Engine 4 e Unity.
Sceneggiature per il suono (Randy Thom): Idee per strutturare un racconto che utilizzi tutto il potenziale del sound design come strumento di narrazione.
Commedia e Morale (David Misch): Qual è il rapporto tra la commedia e la moralità? Ce n'è uno? Ci dovrebbe essere? Questo talk non presume di trovare “risposte” a questi problemi ma cercherà di discutere le questioni in un modo che permetta alla gente di esaminare le proprie ipotesi e presunzioni, e di rendersi conto che il rapporto della commedia con la morale è così complesso come la moralità stessa.
Giochiamo insieme: la cultura del gioco multiplayer nei videogiochi (Marca Mazzaglia): I giochi online massivi come “World of Warcraft” sono solo il punto di arrivo di modi differenti di giocare insieme ad altre persone. L'obiettivo del workshop è di insegnare differenti modi di “giocare insieme”, non solo legati a controller tipici come tastiera/mouse/joypad, in modo da permettere ai partecipanti di poter cominciare a creare il loro miglior gioco multiplayer.
MASTER CLASS – NeoModernismo: Una “passeggiata fotografica” con Rubin (Michael Rubn): Trascorrete del tempo con il fotografo in bianco e nero e storico della materia Michael Rubin, esplorando i limiti stilistici del Modernismo. Passerete un po' di tempo a dare uno sguardo alle opere classiche di questo stile, discutendo gli elementi chiave della luce, del tempo, della struttura e della messa a fuoco – e poi andrete a spasso per le strade di Torino per una “passeggiata fotografica”. Portate la macchina fotografica (o lo smartphone, se necessario) e fate qualche scatto insieme a lui. Poi si tornerà per mettere le foto in Adobe Lightroom e guardare il processo di post-produzione di base (il lavoro della “camera oscura”) per realizzare delle foto sorprendenti.
Arte sul tavolo operatorio (Henry LaBounta): È il vostro turno di essere un Art Director. In questo workshop potrete esercitare la vostra capacità di rivedere, diagnosticare e migliorare la grafica di un gioco. Utilizzando i principi del metodo “imparare a vedere” faremo un'analisi di alcuni screenshot di gioco per sviluppare le abilità estetiche personali, e anche la capacità di diagnosi visiva con strumenti e tecniche di opinione. Portate il vostro gioco o screenshot delle vostre animazioni per una revisione (meglio su penna USB). In questo workshop interattivo si discuteranno anche gli approcci metodologici per migliorare l'aspetto della grafica.
Lo stagno degli scarabocchi – A pesca di storie: la meccanica degli storyboard per lungometraggi (Kris Pearn): In questo workshop, Kris romperà i meccanismi del funzionamento di uno storyboard. Sarà una discussione sul processo creativo, ragionando sui tipi di strumenti a disposizione (reali e virtuali), analizzando la narrazione visiva attraverso la performance e lo sviluppo del personaggio, e si effettuerà una ripartizione interattiva di una scena (disegnata dal vivo con la partecipazione della classe). L'obiettivo di questa conferenza è quello di affrontare la paura dello storyboard e guardare al lavoro come a un modo per comunicare, per permettere al regista di raggiungere il suo obiettivo finale: raccontare una storia a un pubblico.
