'Hunger Games' Producer Reveals Secrets To Making A Blockbuster On The Cheap | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From www.huffingtonpost.com - March 23, 2012 5:33 PM
Making a hit movie on a budget is as hard as Hollywood makes it look. "We're in a business where the solution is almost always to write a check," said Joe Drake, the departing co-chief operating officer of Lionsgate, the studio behind "The Hunger Games."


DRC: A revealing look at the "story first" approach that drove financial decision making on The Hunger Games.


"The absolute last resort is solving something with money," Drake said. "Very often, that turns out to be the best creative solution. It requires you to deal with it in the storytelling."

How Punchdrunk Theatre Reels ‘em In With Immersive Storytelling

How Punchdrunk Theatre Reels ‘em In With Immersive Storytelling | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From www.wired.com - March 13, 2012 12:14 AM
When London’s Punchdrunk Theatre Company opened Sleep No More in March 2011 in an abandoned warehouse block in New York, few imagined it would still be running a year later...


Frank Rose: "People have always wanted to immerse themselves in stories, and digital media have given them any number of ways to do so, from Grand Theft Auto and L.A. Noire to alternate-reality games like Why So Serious?, which drew more than 10 million people into the saga of The Dark Knight before the movie opened. But the desire for immersion has spilled over into the purely analog world as well, as Sleep No More attests."

Why Transmedia Is like a Walk in Patagonia

Why Transmedia Is like a Walk in Patagonia | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From www.tribecafilm.com - September 12, 2011 4:00 PM

An idea is a fragile thing. And at this point, the idea that we're on the cusp of a new form of storytelling seems to have reached that weird place where much of the world still hasn't accepted it but many of those who have are too busy squabbling over the details to actually focus on doing it.

Henry Jenkins on 'Spreadable Media,' why fans rule, and how 'The Walking Dead' takes on a life of its own

Henry Jenkins on 'Spreadable Media,' why fans rule, and how 'The Walking Dead' takes on a life of its own | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From www.deepmediaonline.com - January 18, 2:45 AM

Frank Rose: '"If it doesn't spread, it's dead": With this pithy dictum, Henry Jenkins summed up the nature of media distribution in the Internet age.'

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

You should also check out Spreadable Media's website.

Mattia Nicoletti's curator insight, January 19, 3:15 AM

Spreadable media is ispirational for the next tv. It's about spreading contents through media. It's about web 1.0 and 2.0. It's about retro culture. 

 

In this interesting interview what comes out is that storytelling and simplicity is a winner in a spreadable world.

Q&A: Frank Rose on digital storytelling and media immersion

Q&A: Frank Rose on digital storytelling and media immersion | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From econsultancy.com - March 19, 2012 2:42 PM
Transmedia has become a real buzzword lately, but the problem with that term is that it puts the emphasis on the means - telling stories across various media platforms - rather than on the goal. The goal is immersiveness. Using different media becomes natural when you have a distribution platform - the Internet - that subsumes all media. But that's not the only way to reach the goal.


Frank Rose is the author of The Art of Immersion: How the Digital Generation Is Remaking Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and the Way We Tell Stories and a contributing editor to Wired.
