Transmedia Next is a training for people who are already experienced media professionels. I applied for a scholarship because you never stop learning and its a big chance to talk with people from all over Europe and with our trainers about transmedia and storytelling. It is organized by Anita Ondine and her team – thank you very much by the way! So yesterday in London, the first day of Transmedia Next (#tnx12) took place and involved all of the participants in a story, a competition and into the wide wide worlds of transmedia storytelling.

this is the quote of the month: "And for those who put off the word transmedia, I sort of question whether or not you have an imagination. Because if you had an imagination this transmedia “thing” would literally be getting you off right now due to the endless possibilities of extending your content." Delete the scoop?

Quote " Immerse People In The Narrative The Walking Dead, the famous comic and now TV show, used a polling Web app (AMC’s Story Sync, if you like marketing-speak) to ask viewers questions and show related content as an episode was being broadcast on TV. While the app was simply timed to each scene, it was an experiment in multi-screen storytelling that invited audience participation, not just audience attention. Polling has a gimmicky feel to it, but that probably came about as a result of Hollywood pressure and doesn’t reflect the value of the concept in general. Delete the scoop?

ARTE France and its associated producers continue to explore web documentary, participatory fiction, online magazine and many other transmedia creative formats. Among these, Type:Rider is an outstanding example – both in its subject matter and its auteurist vision of video game design.
Three gaming experiences are presented to explore the world of typography. First, there is a video game (accessible via web browser, smartphone or tablet) which spans the history of typography, with each level to a different typographical style, from “Gothic” to “Pixel.”
The game is quite easy to play and operate. The player must guide the colon through a given level from start to finish by collecting the asterisks that block the documents posted concerning typography and its history. These documents include accounts of inventors like Gutenberg and famous type designers like Claude Garamond or Étiennne Didot.... Via siobhan-o-flynn Delete the scoop?

Leading British authors drawn to experiment with the scope of interactive storytelling
Online fiction is a remote world, peopled by elves, dragons and whey-faced vampires. At least that is the view shared by millions of devoted readers of the printed novel. But now serious British literary talent is aiming to colonise territory occupied until now by fantasy authors and amateur fan-fiction writers.

I’ve recently been working more on my own fiction, so I was intrigued to learn about two literary projects that exploit the possibilities of digital publishing. Their strategies can be extrapolated to film and transmedia projects for producers who aren’t interested in writing the next great American novel.
The Karada comes from an international team of writers and transmedia artists: the core team includes Carrie Cutforth-Young of Queen Spade Creative in Toronto, Tom Liljeholm of Tea4Two Entertainment in Sweden, and Jim Martin, an independent writer for Heroes and other projects, in Los Angeles. The literary property launched last September and is designed as a prequel to and proof of concept for a television series entitled All Your Fates, plus a graphic novel and other media. Part romance, part thriller, and many parts science-fiction, The Karada‘s story follows one David Blunt as he’s rebuffed by the girl of his dreams but then comes across a way to access various parts of the multiverse. Determined to win her heart in at least one universe, he starts traveling to different dimensions to woo her — but traveling through the multiverse, and meeting different versions of the same people (including yourself), brings its share of dangers as well..."

Das Science-Fiction-Abenteuer "Defiance" ist gleichermaßen Computerspiel und Fernsehserie – und das bislang größte Experiment, eine Geschichte transmedial zu erzählen.
Dorothea Martin's insight:
Wie transmedial und interaktiv es dann wirklich wird? Man wird sehen...
"Geschehnisse aus dem Spiel können erst recht nicht in die Story eingepflegt werden. "Wir können nur vorausschauend zwei unterschiedliche Versionen einer Binnenhandlung drehen", sagt auch Jeff Pabst. Wenn etwa eine bedeutsame Schlacht im Spiel für eine Fraktion entschieden wird, sollte sich das in der linearen Story widerspiegeln. Spannend wird es aber erst, wenn bekannte Spielerfiguren oder Insider-Witze der Community in der Serie auftauchen, wenn es einen regelrechten Austausch zwischen den beiden Ebenen gibt. Dafür allerdings muss das Experiment Defiancedie erste Staffel überleben, und das Spiel muss weiterhin gespielt werden." Delete the scoop?

"Andrew DeVigal knows how to tell a story. For six years he was the Director of Multimedia at the New York Times, developing groundbreaking interactive news packages like the Emmy award-winning A Year At War.
He understands that human elements drive narrative and best engage the reader, but against a backdrop of ceaseless online feeds and notifications it is increasingly difficult for journalists to hold readers’ attention. He believes smartly produced interactive news features which balance audio, video and stills can get audiences interested in long, deep stories if executed correctly."
