My #1 goal in life is to see a game designer nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. I’ve forecast that this will happen by the year 2023. Of course, it’s not enough to just forecast the future — I’m also actively working to make it a reality.
you found me.

Finding the end | Digital Discontent
How do you recognize the end of a transmedia project? Imagine yourself waking up each morning to the familiar taste and smell of your creation, you two have been together for years and you can’t remember why. These are the days you have forgotten who you were, before it began, and how you’ve ended up where you are.The battle for Transmedia continues! This is a mirror of the fine Facebook post by Brian Clark of GMD Studios, which I’m cross-posting here for those who can’t access it there. I’ll wait to comment later, but this whole terminology issue is really taking an interesting turn. And please, feel free to join the discussion, either on Facebook or here!

As for any entertainment property, how you pitch a Transmedia project is absolutely fundamental in whether it can successfully garner support from collaborators, financiers, the press and even potential fans. Since I started this blog, I’ve had the opportunity to see pitch materials for a good number of Transmedia projects and I’d like to share a few ideas about how prospective creators can make them as compelling as possible. This is a broad principle that can be extended well beyond pitching entertainment properties: know your audience. While you should always have basic pitch materials on your person at events, and an elevator pitch prepared, if you’ve set a meeting take the time to tailor those materials.
The Perfect Transmedia Pitch | Transmythology
Friday was the “digital media day” for the 2011 Kidscreen summit and included several panels directly pertinent to Transmedia. Accordingly, I want to briefly discuss each in turn. Transmedia – Passing Fad or New Reality? The first panel of the day was a lively debate focused on – as you can tell – whether Transmedia concepts are around to stay. For a 9 a.m. panel on the last day of the conference, it was extraordinarily well attended, doubtless because a lot of executives are concerned as to what degree they need to master Transmedia – if at all.

C'EST QUOI LE TRANSMEDIA
In 2009, I submitted my PhD on transmedia practice. It is titled Transmedia Practice: Theorising the Practice of Expressing a Fictional World across Distinct Media and Environments. I am thrilled to say that all of my examiners gave glowing and insightful comments, such as these quotes from each: “I am particularly impressed with the wealth of material tackled in the dissertation, and also the numerous theoretical sources applied.

Podcast #4: Robert Pratten and Simon Wood | Elitzr.com
After a long absence, the Elitzr podcast is back this week as I interview transmedia pioneer Robert Pratten and mystery author Simon Wood, the two creative forces behind Lowlifes.tv . The call was a good one. I’m able to ask Robert what exactly is this thing called transmedia storytelling and we hear from Simon about how he, as an author, has learned to forge his own path in the digital era. We also learn how the Lowlifes project comes together, and Robert talks a little about how he is taking what he’s learned from Lowlifes.tv and is making it available it in a new platform for all transmedia storytellers. We also have some fun, talking about Simon’s background as a casino “mystery shopper”, which provided him with lessons about human nature and deception at the outset of his mystery writing career.As we launch TFI New Media Fund this week, we're asking a number of people working in this space the same four questions. We want to create an ongoing discussion about what is possible when you work across different platforms to tell stories and embrace new technologies to engage audiences so please add your comments and questions. The first to tackle these questions is Jeff Gomez , President & CEO of Starlight Runner Entertainment :

Below are some thoughts inspired by what I was hearing at the WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE symposium hosted by Jerry Zucker at the Samual Goldwyn Theater (and presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts: Science and Technology Council). Some are things I heard and scribbled down, some of what is below are just thoughts I’m having. The presenters were Alex McDowell, Science and Technology Council member and production designer (“Minority Report”), Ed Lantz, immersive art and entertainment expert – particularly with Digital Dome Movies, Eric Haseltine, neuroscientist and former NSA expert (among several other interesting occupations and the most riveting IMHO), and Jordan Weisman, transmedia storytelling expert who offered a lot of fresh ideas and enthusiasm. Many people left before it was all through (as this may have been a head-splitting evening for most) but if you missed it, here are some take-aways that I found valuable to think about:
