BBC Academy - Production - Transmedia storytelling 101 Telling your story across multiple platforms has never been more possible. BBC CoP attended this workshop session from BBC Academy's Fusion: Future Fiction day, where Hazel Grian and Dr Tom Abba take us through what transmedia means and how you can use it to play out your story to potentially millions of people worldwide. Transmedia - what does it mean?- You're not just thinking about one platform, you're considering how your audience can have various points of contact with your characters. - Commercially it gives you the ability to play with how people access your brand - how your audience can engage with it at different point in their lives. - How does your story sit within the everyday world - what are people doing in their every day lives while interacting with your creation? - Words like gamification - it's a way of getting big corporations and brand managers to understand what you're talking about. - If you're writing or designing - think of it as 'experience design'. - Where are they?

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore was a short animated film released to critical acclaim in 2010. The story follows the adventures of Mr. The book features amazing interactivity, almost so much that the actual story is a bit lost on the first read. Another page features a piano keyboard, highlighting the notes to play 'pop, goes the weasel'. Other pages have draggable elements, like books that can turn the drab townsfolk into characters from classic stories, like Alice in Wonderland, Frankenstein and Treasure Island. As a digital offering, this book is solidly made for such a complex bit of programming, with easy swipe-style page turning. Overall, this book app is really stunning. All reviews are of the app, not the platform/device.
hero's journey "A Practical Guide to Joseph Cambell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces" by Christopher Vogler © 1985 “There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before.” In the long run, one of the most influential books of the 20th century may turn out to be Joseph Campbell’s THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES. The book and the ideas in it are having a major impact on writing and story-telling, but above all on movie-making. Filmmakers like John Boorman, George Miller, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Coppola owe their successes in part to the ageless patterns that Joseph Campbell identifies in the book. The ideas Campbell presents in this and other books are an excellent set of analytical tools. With them you can almost always determine what’s wrong with a story that’s floundering; and you can find a better solution almost any story problem by examining the pattern laid out in the book. There’s nothing new in the book.

This accounts for the universal power of such stories. 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 8.)
The Walking Dead: a tentacular transmedia success… Even if the figure of the zombie appeared only relatively recently in popular western culture (1), it has enjoyed almost continuous success since the 60s and the release of Night Of The Living Dead by Romero. A success that the series The Walking Dead is definitely being driven by, inspired by the series of comic books of the same name created by Robert Kirkman in 2003. With the help of the film director Frank Darabont, he also contributed towards its adaptation for the American channel AMC, which has been showing the series since September 2010 The plot of The Walking Dead revolves around the character Rick Grimes, a police officer who discovers when coming out of a prolonged coma that the majority of the human race has been transformed into zombies. In the same way as for the comic book, the TV series became an immediate success and even achieved record audiences as The Walking Dead is now the most watched series in the history of American cable TV.
Halo Story Bible | Halo Nation | Fandom powered by Wikia “It is the ponderous collection of lies, damned lies, and half-truths from which the entire Halo Universe is constructed.” The Halo Story Bible, created by Bungie Studios, is the single most important object to the development of the Halo Universe.

Background Edit The Story Bible is the most extensive collection of material for the Halo universe, and, to date, is also the single most secretive thing Bungie holds. The Story Bible is so carefully guarded that there are only four in existence. Some less-sensitive material from the Story Bible was published in the Halo: Combat Evolved: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets strategy guide. Trivia The binder is black and silver, and it weighs 4.54 kilograms (10.0 lb) (including the contents). Sources
Six Word Stories Stuart Samuels Productions | Coming Soon Produced, Written, Directed by STUART SAMUELS "27" is a theatrical documentary about the end of the sixties and how the events of 1969, 1970 and 1971 sent ripples of fear through a generation raised on peace, love, harmony and happy endings. As if on an historical cue, a new decade dawned and a new force and culture emerged. It was a time of profound events that are etched into our collective memories — Nixon, Man on the Moon, Charles Manson, Woodstock, Altamont, My Lai Massacre, Black Panthers, Kent State, J. A new culture triumphed, one based on power not peace, fear not love, political control not natural harmony, conflict not happy endings. It was a period when pop culture became big business, when mass concerts became defining historical events, when musicians became Gods, and fans turned into a frenzied army of fame fanatics. "27" brings the story of our Nation's past to an audience who is entrusted with shaping its future. Download information kit »
