Steve Peters » Blog Archive » What the hell *is* Transmedia?
Well, much like herpes, this subject just won’t go away for me. :) To further highlight the problem with the term “transmedia” and the increasing chasm between storytellers and franchisers/marketers, I am going to start collecting the amazing amount of sometimes contradictory definitions, which should nicely illustrate the problem.
We get confused ourselves, and who could blame us? Transmedia storytelling could be a fictional property, or the method by which that property is marketed, or both, or none of the above.

Jeffrey Katzenberg was interviewed by Fortune yesterday about the developing shape of the movie industry and the media landscape more broadly.Zen Films: Developing a Transmedia Project: My Approach Part 1
There seems to have been a lot of Twitter and email activity recently about how to actually go about developing a transmedia project so I thought I’d share my approach to a project I’m producing right now. I have a suspicion that many readers and viewers – I’ll collectively call them the audience – aren’t as demanding... or as knowledgeable... or as willing... to consume stories as much as the technology will allow. Hence, with so many platforms and so many things that can be done I wanted to scale everything back to do something very simple.

An if:book Australia Essay by Christy Dena Can I write across media? Yes and no. No, I can’t begin writing a sentence with a pen on paper and then use that pen to write on a screen. I have to change my tools. But, I can use those different tools write a story that begins in paper and ends on the screen.
How can you measure & design a Transmedia Experience?
As Social Media becomes more ubiquitous, there are ever more innovative ways of creating online content that utilize the increasing number of tools available. A ‘tipping point’ is approaching where it is not just about creating generic online content but the identification of content that is ‘fit for purpose’ . This is becoming harder to identify.
In any field, practitioners develop a specialized jargon that conveys either the complex nuance or razor specificity necessary for people to talk about what they do with each other. It is good for everyone to be involved in the debates about those kinds of terms of art on at least some level, as the dialog advances new ways of thinking about the work you should also be buried in. At this phase in my career, I’m less interested in the Platonic ideas of what the labels should be, and far more interested in discussing why we’re suddenly having a hard time having a discussion as a community of practitioners and creators. We need to be able to discuss this without people taking that as a rebuke of their work or, conversely, worrying more about their own promotional positioning than the health of the movement.

Our Media Holding Pattern(s)
Like many independent storymakers (a word I love to use and will one day soon pass spellcheck), my sister, Gail Sonnenfeld, Michael Caplan and I are having our struggles with funding to keep the Algren project moving at a faster clip. While this struggle isn’t anything new to artists of all types, it does bring to light a single equivalence about our media ecosystem: there is very little support, if any, in the way of content that is not immediately considered “commercial”.
Deep Inside the #Algren Project: A Framework for the #Transmedia Experience | #ThinkState - A Literacy of the Imagination
I have come to despise all unqualified statements. Discussions about digital piracy, transmedia/crossmedia, whether user-generated content (UGC) can ever be ‘good,’ and whether coffee beans really do voluntarily roast themselves in the presence of Chuck Norris tend to quickly devolve into polarized arguments, not open exchanges where the intent is to have your opinions challenged by facts (what normally happens is you find your facts being bludgeoned by someone else’s opinions). This is often the result of a one-size-fits-all approach to the issue, a blind focusing on only one particular aspect of the topic that ignores salient facts, or an induction of biased selections/examples as the grist for a general theory mill.
Scott Walker – Collaborative transmedia storytelling is not CYOA
Stories have defined our world. They have been with us since the dawn of communication, from cave walls to the tall tales recounted around fires.
