The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
"Essential tips from the transmedia producer [Jay Bushman] of online video phenomenon The Lizzie Bennet Diaries!" 
Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight,
March 25, 2014 1:56 PM
Bushman's 3 keys is a great article because there is compelling psychology underlying all of them. My favorite of Bushman's three keys are 2 and 3. Key 2 is setting and keeping expectations. However innovative your project, he speaks to the importance of creating rhythms and patterns so the audience can develop expectations. From a neuro-cognitive perspective, the brain seeks patterns and derives pleasure and comfort from finding a structure and therefore can anticipate with pleasure new developments rather than feel frustrated. In Key 3, Bushman says trust your team. We often see articles about how you can't control your audience, but few about the same for the internal team. Controlling people takes a lot of effort and at the end, nobody's happy. Key 3 indicates how well Bushman has inspired his people and established team purpose and affiliation so that they can further the project with autonomy, increasing, no doubt, their own emotional investment it the characters and the project's success. I would argue that right after having a good story comes having a good leader to achieve success.

When the first episode of the transmedia series RCVR made its debut in September (you can find the episodes – HERE), it took the internet by storm – amassing a million views in a little less than a week, with the other five installments clocking in with similar impressive numbers.

Erik Urtz: "The Classic Alice and its heavy social media integration are a great example of what storytelling in the twenty first century just might become."

This is an interesting use of social media, though I would not regard its participatory aspect as any kind of immersion.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Story Horizon: "For web series, we can often see the effect of the studio audience in the analytics/statistics on the video itself. Oftentimes, viewers will give a video more of a chance when seeing the high view count or thumbs up, modelling the behaviour of the audience that preceded them and not unlike responding to the canned laughter of the now dead “audience” as Orson so morbidly pointed out in the clip" ....

Randy Astle: "At the beginning of the year, Filmmaker’s Scott Macaulay pointed out again — like many others have as well — that features are no longer the default format-of-choice for indie filmmakers."
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
A fabulous article for filmmakers interested in pitching and producing transmedia extensions for an existing franchise.

Chaunton: "[...] the plot of H+ deals directly with the far more pervasive reality of persistent internet connectivity. We may not all walk around with a chip in our heads, but a great many of us spend 24 hours a day with internet access in our pockets."

The Silhouette: "There are few children’s stories as timeless as Anne of Green Gables. Lucy Maud Montgomery’s stories have been adapted in dozens of different ways, the most recent being Green Gables Fables, a transmedia webseries created by Mandy Harmon, Alicia Whitson, and Marie Trotter."
