The annual collaboration between GoPractical and IULM – University of Languages and Communication is renewed.
For the entire month of October 2023, the best students selected by the Faculties of Cinema, Television, Entertainment, Fashion and Marketing were able to follow the analogue special effects workshop which included a special exercise on the themes of Concept Art conducted by the illustrator Angelo Lo Torto.
The theoretical path through the birth and evolution of the most spectacular effects of Cinema was therefore enriched with a practical component, thanks to an immersive experience which allowed students to develop and design environments, characters and props starting from an original screenplay.
The workshop simulated the compromise situation between the director’s communicative intention and the creative interpretation of the illustrators, who must translate concepts, ideas and emotions into visual elements for the big screen, learning to work in a group with limited time.
The enthusiasm found, together with the high number of sketches created and the quality of the ideas developed, confirm the desire of the young generations to explore the world of special effects and concept art more deeply, as well as the desire to get involved with the manual skill of analogue techniques.
