Pitching transmedia

(disclaimer: there are as many pitches as there are ideas, and as many ways to pitch them as there are people to pitch them to. With that in mind, I hope you get something out of this post.)I’ve met a number of people who subscribe to the notion that what people do for a big…Read more Pitching transmedia

Transmedia – the story of the story

I find it exhilarating and exciting to follow the current flow of interesting discussions and even more interesting projects and examples of transmedia bouncing around the Internet these past few weeks. Suddenly it seems like everyone is talking transmedia, from a great number of angles. So, having read some tweets and comments on current transmedia…Read more Transmedia – the story of the story

Transmedia sans fiction

I'm a big fan of @Jeff_Gomez, as you've probably noticed. He really opened my eyes to the powers of transmedia at The Pixel Lab in Cardiff last summer (and he also helped create the Magic The Gathering card game, which I thoroughly enjoyed playing back in the day 🙂 .*I've enjoyed listening to his visions…Read more Transmedia sans fiction

A guest post and a couple of questions

I wrote a guest post for ReedMIDEMs MIP blog; it's geared towards the typical MIP-goer; i.e. a TV executive with a fair amount of years in the biz, just hearing about the term "transmedia" for the first time and wondering whether this will be a hype that'll fade away in a couple of years time,…Read more A guest post and a couple of questions

The mixing of Real and Not Real in Transmedia

I don’t work – or, should I say, I do not at the moment work – with drama-based transmedia projects; instead, the…Read more The mixing of Real and Not Real in Transmedia

Musings on transmedia development

(Felt the need to write down some stuff re: transmedia development that have been bouncing around in my head for some time. It's basically just some reflections from the ground floor of the transmedia development factory...)We started out as developers of interactive television-formats some five-six years ago. These were based on television as the core…Read more Musings on transmedia development

The Pixel Lab – reflections pt 1

I, as 33 others, attended The Pixel Lab in Cardiff last week; a lab focussing solely on transmedia, from every possible angle. Engaged in the lab were also twenty-odd tutors and experts, each with their own take on the matter (but, and which was slightly amazing to me, not contradicting each other, but rather building…Read more The Pixel Lab – reflections pt 1

Refuting the "Content is King, but a King w/o an army is nothing" claim

Just read the statement in the header on Twitter, a quote from some conference or another.I can understand where they are coming from, as I assume whomever came up with that statement is a developer of apps/technical solutions/whatever. Code, gadgets, widgets, the stuff that will take the story to the audience. Or they are marketers,…Read more Refuting the "Content is King, but a King w/o an army is nothing" claim
