MediaShift Idea Lab-Meograph: The Future of Storytelling is 4D (with Context)

MediaShift Idea Lab-Meograph: The Future of Storytelling is 4D (with Context) | Just Story It | Scoop.it

From Karen: Now here's another cool tech tool to help augment our business storytelling! Thanks to Siobhan-O-Flynn for finding and sharing this! Below is part of the artice but there's so much more the article talks about regarding Meograph:


Meograph, new storytelling startup that launched in July, gives online journalists and storytellers an added dimension that too often has been missing: context.

 

With Meograph, you can create what co-founder and CEO Misha Leybovich calls "4D storytelling" through a simple interface that lets users add images, video and text to a story they want to tell. It's free.


"The big vision is that we want to democratize the creation of interactive video storytelling," Leybovich said over coffee at ING Cafe in San Francisco earlier this month.

 

Today if you have a story to tell, you can publish a video to YouTube and write a blog post about it, but it starts to get funky if you want to add a lot of photos or tell how the story evolves over time. Meograph lets you create and share interactive stories that combine video with maps, a timeline and links, filling in that often missing context of where and when...

The Arc of Storytelling by Bobette Buster

The Arc of Storytelling by Bobette Buster | Just Story It | Scoop.it

Run, don't walk to watch this incredibly inspiring video about what we are all searching for in our storytelling.

 

Even though Bobette Buster is speaking about the entertainment industry, her words are incredibly important to anyone who is crafting and sharing their business stories.

 

Bobette talks about the most powerful stories (and this applies to our biz stories) being ones showing transformation, becoming fully alive, and offering hope. When we think about stories in marketing/branding we often forget these fundamentals.  The majority of 'business story' videos I watch these days totally miss these themes and end up being more like digital brochures than real compelling stories that build a growing cadre of loyal customers.

 

But think about this for businesses:  a founding story of an organization is often about being faced with a challenge and overcoming it -- that is showing transformation and offering hope to others.

 

Business stories about people (customers/staff) and the obstacles they've overcome + the results produced offer the same messages.

 

I could go on and on.  It's better to just watch the 15 minute video. Bobette talked 2 years ago at the Storytelling in Organization's Special Interest Group (SIO SIG) and was masterful.  The book "The Uses of Enchantment" she cites was a textbook in my PhD program.  I'm currently reading "Inside Story: The Power of the Transformative Arc" and it dovetails nicely with Bobette's talk.  I hope you get inspired and lots of ideas by watching this.
