Great insights from Cailin Burns on the intersection of games and television series in anticipation of Spielberg's collaboration on a live-action Halo series. In games, however, players become owners of the story through their individual actions and choices within the narrative in the play process. Will that translate to television because of the rich storyworld alone or does it demand a fluid playing-watching dual platform (game to television) experience, such as Defiance to make a successful transition? Just finding out is exploring a new world. Delete the scoop?

The Mad Men era of advertising has passed. But what does advertising mean in this new age where there is no such thing as a "traditional" agency? Today, a brand’s communication and engagement strategy is no longer a separate and distinct practice from the design of a product or service. The two are intertwined. The product is the marketing, and the marketing is the product.

LucaVanin - It can have the same connotation of untruth in the west; just depends on context (and who's paying!) In Entertainment, of course, no one worries about superficial truth. Even (especially?) in Reality TV. What matters is the universal truth that stories can deliver. That is the real litmus test of truth.

Armed with only a revolver, a change of undergarments and a bicycle, Annie Londonderry embarks on an epic around-the-world adventure in 1894, with New York City as her first taste of freedom.
Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight,
May 18, 2:48 PM
Beautiful, interactive compilation of media to tell the story of Annie Londonderry's 1984 bicycle ride that made her a social icon and habinger of the feminist movement, or what Henry James' called the "New Woman." Raises an interesting question of the boundaries between storytelling as fiction and as journalism; transmedia stories by design leave more "meaning" gaps for the audience to fill from the assemblage of nonlinear information. We know the experience of transmedia is more immersive. Is the cognitive understanding of the content different or just emotionally richer compared to traditional linear journalism?
