Hope to start adding more again within the month - ahhh the life of an archivist!!! Transmedia is used in many different ways leading to the need to use the surrounding context to determine full meaning (in a way, the very definition of transmedia has a transmedial property to it ;) A very basic definition would be one of media delivered in multiple formats/platforms. transmedia intertextuality to define and discuss how narrative for children's projects moves across multiple sources and has levels of interaction.

TalkTECH Communications ‹ talkTECH Communications. Shira Lazar: Marc Ecko: From Fashion to Foursquare and Fighting for Education Reform Online. We all know Marc Ecko because of his contributions to the the fashion world, but now he's taking on corporal punishment in schools through a campaign called Unlimited Justice. I spoke to him about corporal punishment and creating an activist movement online. When Ecko -- who is active in education reform -- began this campaign in March, corporal punishment (Hitting or spanking students with wooden paddles or pinching) was still legal in 20 states. While it may be legal, is it actually being practiced in schools today? The most recent data around the subject was released in March 2008, showing that in 2005-2006 223,190 school children in the U.S. were subjected to physical punishment. Ecko told me that this treatment towards students can be correlated to drop outs as well.
Instead of pushing the typical petition, emails or letters to legislators, he went digital. He also created UnlimitedJustice.com, which he says is very much like a social game.

Transmedia Storytelling (Fall 2010) The main characters in Doctor Who don't change every episode, but this isn't necessarily wrong.
Just look at Star Trek for an example of a show that doesn't require character development to be good or engaging. While all of the Dr. Who storytelling outlets were appealing in their own way, I found the radio program to be the least engaging. I don’t think this has anything to do with its radio’s validity as a medium or the producers’ execution of the story, but rather I think I’m just not accustomed to consuming audio-only stories. We’ve grown up learning how to comprehend visual stories on television and movies, or to properly understand and dissect the written word. The other forms of Dr. The comic book version didn’t catch my interest nearly as much as the stories that featured moving pictures. I certainly think it’s possible to stitch together a coherent narrative across multiple mediums; Doctor Who stands as a testament to this. Like this: Like Loading... Junior at Trinity University.

Jeff Gomez on Transmedia Producing - Producers Guild of America. Jeff Gomez, Member-At-Large of the PGA East Executive Board and CEO of Starlight Runner Entertainment, has been creating engrossing interactive environments since he was a teenager.
In his recent presentation at the TEDx Transmedia event in Geneva, Switzerland, Gomez talks about how he was able to leverage his creativity and experience to become one of the most important producers specializing in transmedia storytelling. Whether he’s expanding the story of a pre-existing universe like he did with the transmedia campaign for James Cameron’s Avatar or creating enthralling worlds for Acclaim Entertainment and The Walt Disney Company, Gomez has not only embraced the opportunities of cross-platform storytelling but also continues to define the methods that transmedia producers will use for many years to come.
We had a chance to connect with Gomez after the conference and ask him a few questions about the challenges facing transmedia producers. TEDxTransmedia - Jeff Gomez - DAREtoCHANGE.

TEDxTransmedia - Christy Dena - DAREtoDESIGN. Geoffrey Long. Henry Jenkins. Seven Myths About Transmedia Storytelling Debunked. Over the past few years, transmedia storytelling has become a hot buzzword in Hollywood and Madison Avenue alike--"the next big thing" or "the last big thing" depending on whom you ask.
Last year, the Producer's Guild announced a new job title, Transmedia Producer, a decision that has more or less established the term as an industry standard. More and more companies are laying claim to expertise in producing transmedia content. But many using the term don't really understand what they are saying. Henry Jenkins.
