Watch Henry Jenkins discuss Transmedia Storytelling (video) Henry Jenkins is the director, Comparative Media Studies Program at MIT. In this viral-info-snack he discusses the power of media in a 21 century trans-mediated world. A world where converging technologies and cultures give rise to a new media landscape. Thanks to the ever wise Cross-Media Specialist @ChristyDena, I checked out Henry Jenkin’s short video on transmedia, which discusses the origin of media and how it’s transformed today. The video showcases much of the phenomena I’ve been illustrating in my recent presentations on the social web.
Starting with storytelling shared within tribes, it goes onto the modern day commercialization of media owned by a few powerful conglomerates, and finally today’s re-tribalized media which is reproduced and remixed by anyone handy with digital tools as well as participates in online social networks (e.g. Youtube, Facebook). More importantly, Jenkins discusses the emergence of transmedia, which is an affordance of such democratic media tools. Transmedia Storytelling 101. I designed this handout on transmedia storytelling to distribute to my students. More recently, I passed it out at a teaching workshop at the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. I thought it might be of value to more of you out there in the community.
Much of it builds on the discussion of that concept in Convergence Culture, though I have updated it to reflect some more recent developments in that space. For those who want to dig deeper still into this concept, check out the webcast version of the Transmedia Entertainment panel from the Futures of Entertainment Conference.

OK Go – Band, Videographers or Viral Video & Transmedia Geniuses? Interview with OKGo. The interview with Tim was only about a half hour, but there was so much information to pull out of it I figured it would be better appreciated it if were split into two pieces. Plus, each piece is about a thousand words and that's more than long enough for online reading. You can read Part1 here. OK Go has seen unprecedented success with their online videos of late and Jeremy likened them to Pixar who never seem to fail at their chosen creative outlet.
So we thought it would be cool to sit down with them and talk about their online video creation process, and thoughts about it all. Tim Nordwind was gracious enough to give us some of his time to do just that. How does OK Go come up with video ideas? We use a variety of techniques. Do they get help seeding their videos with views and marketing them? We recently started our own label with an internet staff of 2 so it's basically us, the fan base and the small staff of people who put it on YouTube, blogs, etc. What happened to the toast?
C’est quoi une équipe transmédia ? « Fais-Moi Jouer ! Ce soir, le Social Media Club organise une conférence sur le Storytelling Digital. J’y interviendrai pour parler des nouveaux métiers liés au transmédia et plus spécifiquement aux ARG. Si vous le pouvez, rendez-vous à 19 heures à La Cantine. Plus de de détails sur le blog du SMC. L’occasion pour moi de vous parler des nouveaux métiers liés à l’écriture et la production transmédia. Ayant eu la chance de le rencontrer à Power To The Pixel, j’ai pu demander à Lance Weiler en quoi consistait le rôle du Story Architect. Story Architect« Comment peut-on isoler des éléments du récit et des éléments créatifs (qui vont faire partie du récit) puis trouver les moyens de les transmettre en créant de l’émotion ? Le problème ici est évident : les profils comme celui de Lance Weiler sont peu nombreux. Toujours à Power To The Pixel, j’ai discuté avec Steve Peters et Maureen McHugh, respectivement experience designer et lead author de l’ARG « Why So Serious?
Un petit mot sur la production transmédia. From crossmedia to transmedia: thoughts on the future of entertainment. - by Nicoletta Iacobacci, guest blogger Nicoletta Iacobacci is the Head of Interactive TV/Eurovision at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). Television, although originally a one-way (broadcast) medium, has been trying to engage its audience in a two-way experience for several decades.
A children's television programme called Winky Dink and You (CBS 1954) was the first attempt to drive the viewer from passive to active. Since then content providers, despite numerous failures along the way, have been trying to develop programs which create and exploit possibilities to be engaged by and to interact with TV content.Nowadays the future of entertainment can’t be conceived without enhanced content and multiplatform distribution strategies, matching the media habits of the "Pokemon generation", seamless consumers of games, books, Internet, film and television.
The web is the platform which "glues" and allows this multi/enhanced/two-way/mobile entertainment experience. Let's try a definition. What is transmedia? ]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead in Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.

Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Transmedia is a format of formats; an approach to story delivery that aggregates fragmented audiences by adapting productions to new modes of presentation and social integration. Transmedia and Education: Three Essential Readings. Henry Jenkins’ New Media Literacies class at USC has been a treasure-trove of readings and insights. Three recent articles covered in class — read alongside Jenkins’ own book, Convergence Culture, and his excellent MacArthur-funded New Media Literacies white paper — struck me as particularly essential for anyone who’s looking to build an understanding of what multimodal communication is and how transmedia relates to education, literacy and literature.
Most of these readings can be found in various corners of the Web, but I’ve also posted them here (along with a brief gloss and anecdote) for those who are interested. They are: Of course, we have a long way to go before these kinds of messages can establish a critical mass in institutional and creative practice. The easy analogy here is that of the early cinema, wherein fiction films were shot using the conventions of the proscenium drawn from the theatre. You Suck at Transmedia.
Trancemedia.eu. Announcing TransmediaVictoria | artsdigitalera. What is Transmedia? “Transmedia involves the combining of multiple creative practices on a diverse range of platforms or artforms to deliver a cohesive, multi-sited, experience”. This is the definition used by the TransmediaVictoria production team, consisting of Christy Dena and Eve Penford-Dennis of Freeplay Independent Games Festival. Still confused? Let me explain from a slightly different perspective… We have heard a lot about the convergence of platform and content over the last ten years or so. Producers of content have therefore had to become specialists in more than one distribution platform. Transmedia is similar to ‘cross platform’, but differs in some subtle but important ways. There are increasing examples around the world, and the TransmediaVictoria site is full of them so I won’t waste time replicating here, but check out this high-budget, high-impact alternate reality game made as a viral campaign towards the release of The Dark Knight.
I’m a huge fan of collaboration. So:
