Stage - The Pixel Lab 2011-Dina Foxx. TILT. Book / Contact. Storytelling: digital technology allows us to tell tales in innovative new ways | Technology | The Observer. The Edinburgh international book festival begins this week, featuring a fortnight of storytelling and literati self-promotion. Looking at the 17 packed days of a programme filled with debates, talks, readings and keynotes, I've noticed that there is virtually no reflection on the cards for the "dead tree" version of the story that is threatening to shake-up publishing's centuries-old foundation. More so, it is surprising given the "digital first" bent of its headline sponsor, the Guardian, that there's no mention of apps, digital extensions or the new, multiformatted way of telling stories that's emerging among a new and talented crop of content creators supported by innovative and risk-taking storytelling outlets.
But I admit, picking on the book festival is unfair; linear stories still dominate the page, our TVs, our radios, our games consoles and the theatre. Yet the process of telling a story doesn't have to be unidirectional. Rose believes stories are in an exciting period of flux. Get Clued In to The BBC Code Challenge | Magazine Storytelling Gets an Upgrade: Interaction Illustrated. By J.C. Hutchins, Novelist and Transmedia Storyteller In my previous post, I described how, using a combination of user-fueled curiosity, tactile interaction, and brilliant visual animations, authors can deliver narrative revelations that simply cannot be experienced using traditional storytelling techniques.
Today, we take the narrative to the next level, adding even more rich interaction to our story. Recall that this narrative is mostly text-based and presented as a well-crafted traditional novel or novella. (There’s no substitute for great writing.) However, the story’s “touchable moments” are designed to put the reader in the driver’s seat in equally emotionally resonant ways. The goal is to capture the same sense of discovery the story’s hero experiences – that thrilling “I just learned a secret” vibe. As seen in traditional narratives, creators can up the narrative ante to frighten the audience.
A fine sheen of frost covers the glass coffin. But where’s the safe? J.C. Related Posts: The Tulse Luper Suitcases.

Musical celebrities were all over Cannes this year, but only Jay-Z is actually picking up hardware. New York agency Droga5 continued its hot streak at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity with big wins for its Bing/Jay-Z "Decoded" campaign in the key Titanium/Integrated Lions category. The campaign won the Integrated Grand Prix and nabbed a Titanium Lion, winning over a jury that was “looking for the bravest idea.” The Titanium Lion was launched in 2003 to recognize emerging forms of brand work that wouldn’t neatly fit into the existing award categories; the Integrated Lion was added in 2005, though the definition of what falls under each title has been fluid.
Jury chair Bob Scarpelli, the chairman of DDB Worldwide, acknowledged that the definition of an integrated campaign has shifted and that today, “the best ideas are integrated into culture.” [Check out pictures from the "Decoded" campaign here] [Homepage image: Flickr user NRK P3] Transmedia Producers Group News.

The Millennium series consists of three bestselling novels, originally written in Swedish, by the late Stieg Larsson (1954–2004). The two primary characters in the saga are Lisbeth Salander, a woman in her twenties with a photographic memory and poor social skills, and Mikael Blomkvist, an investigative journalist and publisher of a magazine called Millennium.
Blomkvist, the character, has a history similar to Larsson, the author. Larsson planned the series as having ten installments, but due to his sudden death, only three were completed and published.[1] They are: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Män som hatar kvinnor, literally, men who hate women) (2005)The Girl Who Played with Fire (Flickan som lekte med elden, literally, the girl who played with fire) (2006)The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest (Luftslottet som sprängdes, literally, the air castle that was blown up) (2007) Origins and publication[edit] Unfinished material[edit] Fourth novel[edit] Adaptations[edit] Swedish films[edit]

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Trailer “See it again for the first time” – Star Wars, la saga d’une œuvre inachevable | iGénération(s) “George Lucas est l’Abel Gance du XXIème siècle”. Cette phrase que j’ai entendu d’un membre de la rédaction d’Allociné.com résume parfaitement la situation dans laquelle se trouve le créateur de la saga Star Wars, depuis longtemps élevée au rang d’œuvre essentielle du cinéma. Depuis 1977 et la sortie fracassante du premier épisode, les six volets n’ont cessé de faire partie des films “cultes” à voir (et à avoir) absolument. Plusieurs évènements font de 2011 une “année Star Wars” : la sortie du nouveau Star Tours, attraction phare des parcs Disney, et l’édition sur Blu-ray disc des six longs métrages, à paraître au mois de septembre.
Cependant, Star Wars est aussi connu pour la relation tumultueuse entre George Lucas et ses fans par rapport aux multiples versions qui existent de la trilogie originale (et même de la seconde), essayant vainement de faire oublier les premières versions de La Guerre des étoiles, de L’Empire contre-attaque et du Retour du Jedi de 1977, 1980 et 1983.
