According to CGtalk The Digital Storytelling three day conference is the fifth annual seminar on the creative use of technology in film and television, focusing on visual effects and digital set design in feature film and television. Speakers from the Norwegian, Scandinavian and International film community will gather in Oslo to present their work. The program begins Wednesday April 14.

Digital Storytelling and The Norwegian Film Institute invite VFX artists, producers, directors and writers to this year’s seminar and workshop on the use of visual effects in film and television.
The impact of the blockbuster movie 'Avatar' on the filmmaking process and the movie-going experience can hardly go unnoticed. In order to keep pace with the cutting edge developments of the industry, the focus of this year’s seminar and workshop is the phenomenon of stereoscopic 3D.

The keynote speaker, Oscar winner and Co-Production Designer on 'Avatar', Robert Stromberg sets the stage for a journey into this new and exciting universe. The theme stays on Pandora with presentations by Theodor Groeneboom (Framestore, London) and Canadian Colin Doncaster (Weta, New Zealand and Storm Studios, Norway) both having contributed their VFX talents to 'Avatar'. Swedish director Ted Kjellsson challenges conventional filmmaking with his new film project 'Tompta' (produced by ZentropeRamBuk, Denmark). 3D Cinematographer & Filmmaker Kasimir Lehto (Los Angeles) will talk on how 3D should be treated and used in a narrative context to support the storytelling and cinematic expression.
