Transmedia is a weird term. It's also a new world that incorporates elements of traditional film-making, digital assets, photography, architectural drawings, you name it: all in service to story. It's fun but it takes a whip to control all those elements into something that translates into more than the sum of its parts. Delete the scoop?

One such launch was Comic Book Think Tank, spearheaded by Ron Perazza and Daniel Govar. Click the picture for the full story. @safegaard Delete the scoop?

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.
