Five transmedia projects – February 2013

These are exciting times. New transmedia projects are cropping up left and right and the debate over ”what the definition of transmedia is?” seems to have taken a bit of a step back. All in all it feels like we’re slowly – or perhaps rapidly; these are things that can better be assessed in hindsight…Read more Five transmedia projects – February 2013

Are you a transmedia solo artist, rock band or what?

A couple of years ago I wrote a post on transmedia, examining a comparison that Jeff Gomez often sports; the one of likening transmedia to a symphony orchester, where you have a great number of different instruments – or media platforms – that need to be conducted in precisely the right way in order for…Read more Are you a transmedia solo artist, rock band or what?

Loud and clear – “Authentic in All Caps”

My background is partly in radio. That’s where I started out, aeons ago, working for youth stations, gradually becoming better and better at what I was doing (and interspersing with work at newspapers, tv etc). Working with audio has always been a penchant of mine. I remember vividly the many hours spent creating a Monty…Read more Loud and clear – “Authentic in All Caps”

Entertainment Master Class – television on the move

I was graciously invited to come and talk to the Oslo-edition of the Entertainment Master Class 2013. It’s a course that seems to have a lot to offer professionals within the TV industry; if nothing else, it’s interesting to see that several of the participants are coming back for a second or even third stint…Read more Entertainment Master Class – television on the move

Future Media 2.0 – some thoughts

First Motion, a pan-Baltic area EU project, organised a conference this week in Riga, Latvia, and were kind enough to invite me to attend and take part in a panel discussion on funding and transmedia. From two pretty packed days, here are some thoughts I had: Transmedia, cross media, multiplatform – no matter what you…Read more Future Media 2.0 – some thoughts

Cross-platform Pitch Up! ahead

TL;DR - Pitch event in London 5.12. Early stage cross platform ideas submitted by 15.11. Events that actually look for great multiplatform / transmedia content aren’t THAT prevalent at the moment. There is the Pixel Market, Tribeca have been on the lookout for some, there’s Sundance to some extent, the Content 360 competition at MIPTV……Read more Cross-platform Pitch Up! ahead

Keeping the audience channel ON

I had an article published on MIPBlog earlier today, where I talked a bit about the fact that the audience increasingly is becoming one of your channels for reaching a greater audience. A channel to be nurtured, to be harnessed and to be allowed to grow, sometimes even without 100% 24/7 control. Matt Campion of…Read more Keeping the audience channel ON
