Last November we launched our first open call addressed to 3D artists from around the world, with the theme Digital realities. We received many interesting and varied proposals, and we were surprised to see how everyone unleashed their creativity and technical expertise.

After careful consideration, we chose three finalists: Alberto Cittone, Ivan Bellezza, and Daniele De Gregorio. To clear our head, we also asked the public for help: the survey saw Ivan Bellezza triumph with 40% of the votes.

We are thrilled to announce that the survey confirmed our decision...Ivan Bellezza is the winner of the open call! Like us, Ivan chose the subject of the mountain, but was able to decline it in a new and unexpected way. In his animation, he immediately reveals the artifice that makes the mountain unreal, and then shows how that mountain can become reality. Through movements and music, he creates a dance that perfectly represents the combination and contrast between real and digital.

Ivan will be working with us on a special project.

Thanks to all participants and congratulations to the other two finalists.

We are looking forward to the next open call!
