Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age

Transmedia is all about building a world you can interact with in multiple ways.

An interview with transmedia master, Jeff Gomez

Live a textured life!.... 

Great reading for the low end of Youth - those still considering a place to study. This is a success story with lots of advice that appears sound to me.

It also speaks to an emerging career choice - one that is actually a modification of an earlier career choice. This modification will, I think, pull in  more candidates because it is both much broader in scope and pulls at the strings of many young minds - opportunity for self expression in a job that both pays well if you are talented and has a future.

It also references something but doesn't include any link to the reference. A talented youth will find it but sometimes it takes a kick in the l*9% to get some moving. It is practical advice from another success on being prepared for the market and it can be found at http://idealog.co.nz/design/2014/07/classroom-client. The title is From Classroom to Client. It is also worth a read.

It's the #1 movie of the summer, and Guardians is shockingly on track to become the #1 superhero movie of the year, beating out Spider-Man 2, X-Men: Days of Futurepast, and even Disney Marvel’s own Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

did not see it but hear about it so much about it on a daily basis with my daughter that I pretty much know it all :)

Three simple rules everywhere is a title of a presentation I published on slideshare. This post gives one further great example of three rules everywhere.

"Interesting take on sub categories of Transmedia. Popularised by Jenkins Transmedia 202: further Reflections,  paper; Transmedia Activism and Transmedia Branding are now becoming organic extensions of Transmedia Storytelling. Looking forward to seeing Jeff in NZ"

Great to see that Jeff Gomez is still at it and getting traction!

The use of transmedia and platforms in teaching

The media isn't the message (and Jeff Gomez never says that).  It is the grand disrupter, the gamechanger, the brain bender.  The innovations in media technologies have upended traditional storytelling across all industries and challenged storytellers to learn new tools.  Media technologies and network connectivity have also, as Gomez points out, rewired consumer's brain with a new set of assumptions and expectation about the function and role of media.  Where media becomes part of the message, is in how it frames content within that set of expectations and meanings.  Our expectations of content, impact and interactivity are vastly different across platforms, i.e. mobile versus the big screen or web versus TV or digital versus paper.  The new environment as Gomez notes, demands integration of expectations in the content design

Sony Pictures Entertainment Co-Chairman Amy Pascal hinted last week that the studio has big plans for its “Spider-Man” franchise that might include launching a series of spin-off films based on the comic book’s other characters.
