Azrael's Stop: a transmedia storytelling project

Azrael's Stop: a transmedia storytelling project | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From ubyssey.ca - September 25, 2015 9:43 PM
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Avril Hwang:  " It started out as a Twitter fiction experiment where a scene description, a dialogue or a line from a character is posted every day. Overtime, they could then be strung together to form a larger story. The story was eventually extended to Facebook, Tumblr and even to a website of its own to allow longer pieces of writing to be published."

Reasons People Will Pay

Reasons People Will Pay | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From silverstringmedia.com - March 28, 2012 10:33 PM

Lucas J.W. Johnson: "But it’s not just about what people will pay for, in the sense of money. It also addresses any time the audience is asked for something — their time, their attention, their action, whether that be liking a Facebook page or following you on Twitter (and putting up with your updates on their news feed), participating in an interactive story, or moving from one medium to another. You have to ask — what is the audience getting from that? And is it something they want?"

[Following on from his article @scoopit http://bit.ly/yu1Ob4 Lucas J. W. Johnson discusses "interactive" versus "authorial" story structure in game design.  He also suggests that transmedia may provide the best of both "storytelling" worlds.

"I first encountered Adam through Twitter (as with a lot of my transmedia contacts, frankly…). At some point I realized that not only is this a guy with some cool ideas, transmedia-wise, but a guy who loves Dungeons and Dragons and video game soundtracks as much as I do. And that’s just awesome."

[Transmedia?] Future of Storytelling?

[Transmedia?] Future of Storytelling? | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From silverstringmedia.com - November 10, 2011 1:43 PM

A lot of the talk around transmedia is about how it’s the “future of storytelling”, that this is the direction the entertainment industry is inevitably going, etc. I’ve said it myself, I’m sure.

From silverstringmedia.com - November 6, 2011 1:53 PM

Now that I’ve looked at how Dungeons & Dragons is an example of a transmedia property — or at the very least, similar to it — I can get to the good stuff. What can an understanding and experience with D&D teach us about writing for transmedia?

Creative Voice: Scott Walker [#Transmedia] | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From silverstringmedia.com - December 21, 2013 3:32 AM
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Lucas J.W. Johnson:  "Today's post is an old interview I did with the awesome Scott Walker over a year ago and never posted! He has kindly done a brief edit/update to it after being away from social media for a year. This was back when my main focus was transmedia -- these days he says his new ventures won't be in the transmedia sphere either -- but his thoughts on transmedia and shared story worlds are still interesting and relevant. Enjoy!"

From silverstringmedia.com - December 24, 2011 2:51 PM

Right now, transmedia is suffering from guru-fication. My best advice for creators just coming into the transmedia fold is have an understanding of what came before, be part of the current conversation, but don’t be afraid to forage ahead and start developing a body of work that speaks to one’s own particular vision of transmedia.
