Social media, as uncontrolled and surprising sounding board of events, have given us an infinite number of still and moving images of the design week just passed. The videos have been made by the protagonists themselves, bringing an interesting and personal point of view. We publish some of them that were filmed in the spaces of Superstudio Maxi, where the most experimental installations took place.  

LUCA GNIZIO: IL MONDO CHE (NON) VERRA’

ANITA MORVILLO: PRIGIONI DI LUCI 

DANIELE PAPULI: LA CARTA CHE INCANTA

A contest that surprised everyone for the quality of the films presented, able to tell with elegance and wisdom the proposed theme: “Stories of Things”, in 5 minutes maximu, as requested by IULM University to its students of Video and Communication. Despite the little experience and the very young age, the jury didn’t find it easy to choose the three winners among the seven finalists and give them an order on the podium. We are presenting them to you here. 

Anna Claudia Bassani e Tommaso Olivieri: CONTAINERS 

Davide Mandalà e Ludovico Vargiu: SHINE

Paolo Foti: PARADISE DREAMS

Incredible as it may seem, it is since the early 1900s that special cinematic effects have been experimented through a double film shooting that can add spectacular backgrounds and sudden appearances in a seemingly normal scene. A hundred years later, with the advent of digital, the possibility of recreating virtual worlds in which real people move has become a professional choice increasingly accessible of photographers and movie directors thanks to the green backdrops whose official name is Chroma Key. Over more than a century the technique has been so perfected that it has allowed the creation of fantasy or epic masterpieces with incredible scenarios. Photography has also appropriated it for more commercial purposes and these days a green screen (color that allows you to insert the desired backgrounds in post-production) is often the solution when traveling to suggestive places is as impossible as it is now. A Chroma Key and a powerful computer and every fantasy becomes possible.
