In an initiative to help support the participation of European students at
the 2017 SIGGRAPH conference, the Institute of Science and Technology (IST)
Austria is launching a competition to support strong European SIGGRAPH
volunteers with travel funds to and from the 2017 SIGGRAPH Conference.
All students currently enrolled at institutions in Europe who are also
applying to the SIGGRAPH volunteers program are eligible to apply.
Application materials are a subset as for the SIGGRAPH volunteers program,
and should include a current transcript (official or unofficial) or an
enrollment verification letter from your institution's registrar, the name
of the school and program you are currently enrolled in, expected graduation
year, and a short statement answering the following two questions:
1) The SIGGRAPH Student Volunteer Program brings in students from all over
the world each year who are passionate about computer graphics,
service-oriented, and inspired to be the industry leaders of tomorrow. Tell
us why you would like to be considered for participation in the SIGGRAPH
Student Volunteer Program. What interests you about SIGGRAPH in particular,
and why would you be a good fit for our team this year?
2) SIGGRAPH brings in thousands of attendees from all over the world every
year. Student Volunteers play a very crucial role in helping attendees to
have a worthwhile conference experience. Because of this, Student Volunteers
must exhibit a very strong ability to work with a wide range of cultural
differences. Tell us about a time when you interacted with individuals from
a different background than your own, and outline what you learned from your
experience.
All application materials should be sent as a single pdf to
<mailto:siggraphsvcontest@ist.ac.at> siggraphsvcontest(a)ist.ac.at no later
than Jan 10th 2017.
Application materials will be reviewed by IST Austria Computer Graphics
faculty Bernd Bickel and Chris Wojtan. Applicants will be evaluated on the
potential for a career in Computer Graphics. Consideration will be
conditional on acceptance to the SIGGRAPH volunteers program, and priority
will be given to students studying towards their bachelor's or master's
degrees in a computer graphics-related field. The winners of the competition
will be awarded with travel funds of up to 1000 euros to cover the costs of
transportation and accommodation at the conference. Candidates will be
notified of the outcome of the competition latest in May.

Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and
Film Editing (WICED'2017).
http://wiced.inria.fr/
The expressive use of virtual cameras, mise-en-scene, lighting and editing
(montage) within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to extend the
communicative power of film and video into the artificial environments of
interactive games and virtual worlds.
At the same time, recent advances in computer vision-based object, actor and
action recognition make it possible to envision novel re-cinematography
(re-lighting, re-framing) and automatic editing of live-action video.
The workshop series is intended to bridge the gap between the two areas and
confront research being performed in both domains.
One common area of active research is the representation and
understanding of the story to be told and its relation to its communicative
goals. Another area is the extension of traditional film grammar towards
more immersive and interactive experiences, and the emergence of virtual
reality and augmented reality movie making.
This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and industrial
experts working in all aspects of digital cinematography and film editing
in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence,
computer vision, visualization, interactive narrative, cognitive
and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational
aesthetics and visual effects.
Drawing upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the
production and comprehension of cinematographic art-work, the workshop
seeks to offer a glimpse of the future of cinematography and film editing,
as well as a forum for discussion of outstanding research issues.
The 6th edition of the workshop will take place at Villa Lumiere, 25 rue du
Premier Film, in Lyon, France on April 24, 2017, immediately before
Eurographics 2017. The workshop will include a visit of the Lumiere Museum,
which honours the contribution to filmmaking by Auguste and Louis Lumière
- inventors of the cinématographe and fathers of the cinema.
