SGO Mistika sets the pace in education at 3D Storytelling Conference 2012

London, UK, 16 March 2012 –

As a key educational partner of Ravensbourne College, SGO is proud to announce Mistika’s presence at the 3D Storytelling Conference which takes place on 22 – 23 March 2012. Supported by the Skillset Film Skills Fund, the conference plans to convey how 3D can transform a business, from freelancers, small production companies, through to large international ad agencies. The event will also be launching an academic and industrial research forum on 3D.

SGO understands the importance of educating on the use of technology and providing facilities for the marketplace to learn best practice and workflows. SGO is proud to assist in educational programmes, where it will contribute in giving back to the industry and help to enhance graduate expertise with market-ready skills. Among a list of reputable leading 3D UK companies and high profile speakers, SGO will deliver hands-on sessions at the two-day event, giving visitors to the conference and students, a unique opportunity to be in the driving seat of a powerful Mistika system, to learn about its innovative capabilities first-hand. Mistika is revolutionary and an award-winning asset for creative and ambitious individuals and organisations and is used in many high profile projects such as Flying Monsters 3D with David Attenborough, The Adventures of Tintin and The Hobbit, to mention a few. With 3D gaining momentum, Mistika is well placed in a highly regarded educational establishment in the UK such as Ravensbourne.

Ravensbourne is a leading university sector college driven by the creative use of digital technologies, and invested in a Mistika system last year to enhance its Stereoscopic 3D, 2D and DI curriculum, and equip students with cutting-edge tools. Ravensbourne is a prestigious centre of excellence, industry accredited and a Skillset Media Academy and is working towards the status as an official SGO Mistika training centre in the future.

3D Storytelling takes place at Ravensbourne’s stunning RIBA award-winning building in North Greenwich, London, only a five-minute tube journey on the Jubilee Line from London Bridge. For further information or to register for the conference for free please visit:  http://3dstorytelling.co.uk/
