The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
A look at the world of interactive storytelling, including: tools of the trade; putting a team together; the role of the audience; and finding funding.

Mc Million about storytelling: "As an interactive storyteller, you need to have an understanding of user experience, design and coding, but most importantly you have to understand what makes a strong narrative. [...] So while it’s helpful to understand the technology, it’s essential to understand how stories are consumed, generated, shared, repurposed and controlled by online audiences.

"By announcing these initiatives at SXSW, an arts and technology event, rather than waiting for Comic-Con or the debut of one of Marvel’s big crossover movie properties like the Avengers, the company is clearly attempting to stake its claim to a larger chunk of cultural real estate than the niche market accorded to superhero comics in recent times"...

I’ll be honest: I wasn’t that excited about going to Digital Hollywood today. I’ve become a little burned out on conferences and the often circular nature of panel discussion.

Henry Jenkins: "I first met Janet Murray when I arrived at MIT almost 25 years ago. At the time, she was working on her book, Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace, while I was working on Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture. Murray, along with the members of the Narrative Intelligence Reading Group, was an early guide for me to the emerging realm of digital culture and helped to shape my thinking in ways that I will never be able to fully acknowledge."
