The Year According to Sparksheet

The Year According to Sparksheet | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
It’s hard to believe, but 2011 has (almost) come and gone. The Arab Spring, paywalls, Steve Jobs, and Occupy Wall Street (not to mention a Royal Wedding) dominated headlines. Here’s how some of it looked through Sparksheet’s lens.

 

[Especially interesting is Sparksheet's take on transmedia ... "Speaking of viral, transmedia crossed the threshold from industry buzzword to just plain industry with this year’s StoryWorld conference, where we met multiplatform storytelling pioneers from Hollywood, Madison Avenue and around the world."]

Transmedia is the new space where visual storytelling exists because:

 

1. Every screen we can imagine (TV, smart phone, tablet, laptop and yes, the lowly desktop computer) is reached by Internet video, audio, text and images.

 

2. Every connected consumer can reach back— through each screen.
