[ecrea] Call for Papers - Conference on Stereoscopic Media - March 2012

Call For Papers - *

Moving Your Storytelling Into the Third Dimension*
Industry Conference with a two-day research tract.

22nd and 23rd March, 2012
Ravensbourne,

London,

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 3-D 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 3-D 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, 
(lizzie.jackson /at/ rave.ac.uk). <mailto:(lizzie.jackson /at/ rave.ac.uk)>


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. <mailto:(lizzie.jackson /at/ rave.ac.uk)>For further

I hope you will find the event of interest and wish to submit your work. 
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.

Best wishes,

Lizzie
