"I want to create experiences that allow the audience to step into the shoes of the protagonist."-Lance Weiler When I talk to most people in publishing and tell them I am creating character bibles & StoryWorlds for kids IP, they usually look at me kind of funny and ignore what I say or ask, "what?" I tell them I'm an obsessed student of transmedia, and in order to create a compelling digital storytelling experience on the web (i.e. to get & retain eyeballs), you need to create an amazing place for your digital story to live and be shared. You need to create context.webdocs.com new non-linear storytool | i-docs.fr
Written by: Ann Danylkiw on October 9, 2011. Webdoc.com is a new website for storytelling you should be using. From our prospective as i-doc makers, it offers an interesting paradigm: separable page format that whilst remaining in the control of the maker, offers a unified (though linear) discussion space that can be remixed (and made nonlinear).This is designed as a tool to develop your audience/user centric thinking when creating Multi Platform Social Transmedia properties. It gives you a well known existing story world (eg: TV or film property) and requires you to meet two ‘user centric’ objectives (primary and secondary) and also to deliver a specific business model. Any client working with you, acting as the transmedia agency, should be clear about what it is they want to achieve and so follow the instructions, work in teams or by yourself, come up with some great service ideas!

Does a pure transmedia or crossmedia or multi-platform play like this actually exist? Maybe. Are any of these platforms sustainable beyond the life of a project or a campaign? Not usually. To do that, it takes money, time, commitment, and most of all, belief from the "power structure" that is already in place.Screen Australia - Filming in Australia

In discussions about new media, you will often hear the division of media opportunities as Paid, Owned, and Earned media (P.O.E.M.). Over the years, I’ve studied the various categorization of media from a few perspectives, 1) that of traditional content creation, owners, budgets, and metrics, 2) how social networks cater to consumption and sharing, 3) how progressive businesses are approaching content strategies in social media and how they’re rethinking departments, intentions, metrics, and budgets, and 4) also how media opportunities are packaged and sold by each network and who’s buying them and why. In many cases, I’ve found that media is not limited to three groups, but instead categorized into five key segments: Paid, Promoted, Owned, Shared, and Earned. To visualize the model that reflects the state of new media, I once again partnered with my good friends at JESS3 .

If social media warranted a mantra, it would sound something like this, "Always pay it forward and never forget to pay it back...it's how you got here and it defines where you're going." This intentional form of alternative giving is referred to as "generalized reciprocity" or "generalized exchange." The capital of this social economy is measured in these productive relationships and those relationships are earned through the acts of reciprocity, recognition, respect and benevolence. So how can businesses, which, one could argue, typically represent a "pay it backward" approach (ie, "pay me for my goods and services"), thrive in this environment?
