excerpt: I AM NOT SAYING WE SHOULD STOP DOING ONLINE VIDEO.BUT I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS A WHOLE NEW MEDIUM WAITING TO BE INVENTED? I'm thinking of something visual, built of and for the web. It uses the internet to its greatest strengths, not just as a platform for other media. Amazing stories, fiction and non-fiction, that come alive, not because of flashy interactivity or glossy photography, but because they embrace the true nature of the web. It's something built with the context and expectations of a laptop, tablet or smartphone user in mind. It's canvas is not the screen, but the web browser and its perhaps its technicians are developers (as opposed to the chemists and engineers of cinema and television). It's simple, about substance, not style. Perhaps its subcompact. Or maybe it's epic.

"This year’s focus was on models of social change, and we were excited to see a conversation emerge across the four panels, starting with panel 1′s focus on the community outreach efforts of major brands and studios, panel 2′s focus on smaller scale transmedia projects and entertainment education, panel 3′s attention to grassroots activist efforts, and panel 4′s consideration of young entrepreneurs and philanthropists" by Henry Jenkins for his blog Panel 1 Revolutionary Advertising: Cultivating Cultural Movements Panel 2 Transmedia For a Change Panel 3: Through Any Media Necessary: Activism in a DIY Culture Panel 4 The e-Entrepreneur as the New Philanthropist

"In the open source world we know why we put our time and efforts into the larger goals we try to achieve. We successfully showed that the barriers and lock-ins of the past don't hold up in the test of time and got even the enemies of old to release their code. This made us lax and we can be seen as hard to talk to and deal with. We seem to have quite a strong lack of empathy for people who don't "get" open and our behaviour can lead to a lot of opportunities to go wasted. Times change and the new mobile computing world and closed app markets give end users an incredibly alluring world of simplicity - a world that is built on lock-in, afford-ability and making the user the product. A world that the open alternatives to date can not match when it comes to simplicity and shininess.
Mozilla, amongst others, is battling this change by offering a truly open alternative called Firefox OS. In this keynote Chris Heilmann will show how open can still win the minds and hearts of the main market and what we as an open source community can do to avoid the future to be behind shiny and yet sturdy bars and locks."
Award-winning filmmaker Lance Weiler hangs out with Tiffany Shlain (filmmaker; Founder, the Webby Awards) and Yael Meladmede (Filmmaker, SALTY Features) to discuss new kinds of content creation. Do classic filmmaking conventions still have a place within gaming and interactive storytelling experiences?

Two of the events I was most looking forward to seeing this year at SXSW Interactive were Jason Brush's talk, Filmmaking as User Experience and Michel Reilhac's "A conversation about the second screen — using a viewing device like an iPad or iPhone alongside a television set — and the new ways in which filmmakers can experiment with the cinematic form."
Blurb for iPhone Here's a handy list of storytelling applications for iOS, Android and other mobile platforms. Note-taking and writing apps were cov "Storytelling is not only about creating stories, but also sharing them. What’s even more important, technology allows to tell stories instantly – you can think of them, create and share on one device and in one go. The greatest thing about such instant stories is that they are catching the mood and emotions you would find extremely difficult to restore afterwards. Every time you reach for your smartphone, think of it as a way to tell engaging stories and think of you as a storyteller. Here are a couple of applications with which you can reveal the creative part of you."

excerpt: "How might we increase the value given to diversity and dissent within participatory cultures? Is there a danger that such communities tend to be consensus-based and thus are more apt to exclude people who persistently disagree with shared goals and values?
We do not value diversity and dissent as much as we can and should in participatory cultures. Many people do not see online spaces as open and inviting. In fact, “incivility” and “nastiness” are the concerns most often voiced in opposition to participatory engagement. Honestly, it’s hard to convince people otherwise when the “comments” sections of spaces such as YouTube and CNN are filled with illogical, unsupportive, and hateful commentary."

The Senior Manager at the Sundance Institute's New Frontier Story Lab, Kamal Sinclair came to interactive via an unlikely, but, in many ways, appropriate route. excerpt: "Where is this community and how can people access it? The beauty and difficulty with this space is that there is no single community for digital storytelling or one way to access these stories. Digital audiences are tribal, niche and referral driven. Some things will have a broad appeal and “go viral” others will only live inside a community of shared interests. The portals of entry and an understanding of your community is critical to a good story design. You also need to make sure those access points are the best choices for creating or telling your story."
This past November, I made the trip for the second year in a row to the Mozilla Festival in London, a three day technology binge fest that brings together some of the world's top thinkers to consider and shape the future of the web.

In the Peanut Gallery, you get to add intertitles to old black-and-white movies (the ones before any speech support, never mind the web). And you do it, of course, simply by talking to Chrome.

"How would you define the particular form of transmedia that is transmedia activism ? Transmedia is a term which describes coordinated activities across multiple media channels. So, a transmedia story is one which is told across multiple platforms, each making a distinctive contribution to our understanding of the whole. If you simply transmit a television series on the web, that’s not transmedia, but if you use the web (or comics or live performance, for that matter) to add new layers to our understanding of the story, then you are telling a transmedia story. Transmedia activism, then, would be the effort to promote social change through creating and sharing media messages across multiple platforms. Right now, there are two primary models for transmedia activism (...)."
