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."

Lucas is exceptionally sharp and ambitious – and he has clearly spent considerable time researching the transmedia landscape. I figured it was in my best interest to sponge off his knowledge...

"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."

What D&D can tell us about Transmedia (Part 2)

What D&D can tell us about Transmedia (Part 2) | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
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?

What D&D can tell us about Transmedia | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
From silverstringmedia.com - November 4, 2011 3:34 PM

I’ve played Dungeons & Dragons for 14 years. And I’ve realized lately that this has, in many ways, done a lot to prepare me for writing for transmedia. There’s so much crossover between the best practices in D&D and in transmedia writing.

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.
