Year 2013 – The Projects

So, as you might’ve noticed, I released a look at the past year and a look ahead to 2014 just before Christmas – ”One Year In Now Media 2013 Edition”. It contains among other things interviews with a lot of brilliant and interesting people, who’ve kindly shared their thoughts on the past twelve months and…Read more Year 2013 – The Projects

One Year in Now Media 2013 Edition

We're nearing the end of the year, and keeping with the tradition of the past couple of years I've compiled a curation of this blog and other blog posts I've written. The posts are combined with interviews with some of the sharpest minds in the multi platform and transmedia field - Christy Dena, Jeff Gomez,…Read more One Year in Now Media 2013 Edition

On Transmedia

Last week I participated (for a brief while, due to not-very-compatible time zones) in a Transmedia Coalition Think Tank hosted by some very capable people in the field. The purpose of the Think Tank was ”to have a frank but constructive dialog about the term "transmedia."”. When I had to drop off, we’ve only just…Read more On Transmedia

Audience engagement – three approaches

A quick note on a topic we’ve been addressing in several projects of late – that of audience engagement (I've written about it before, here, here and here amongst other posts). These might be obvious points to people, but I wanted to share them as they’ve come to the fore time and again on projects…Read more Audience engagement – three approaches

The Endangered Author – a species under threat, for good and for bad.

Keynote, X Media Lab 2013, Lausanne, Switzerland. I’ve spent a significant part of my life in the media industry in radio. Dealing with the audience, what we learnt was that if the content we provided was good enough, and if we managed to give clear enough instructions that at the same time were enticing enough,…Read more The Endangered Author – a species under threat, for good and for bad.

X Media Lab coming up

Right now I’m at home for a bit, but soon I’ll be off again. Hot on the heels of my participation at the Filmteractive Festival in Poland, I’ll be talking at the X Media Lab conference in Switzerland. The line-up is impressive and I would strongly advice anyone who is interested in multiplatform storytelling and…Read more X Media Lab coming up

Five transmedia projects – autumn 2013

In February I did an overview of five transmedia projects I would be keeping an eye on. Of the projects I wrote about back then, Defiance opened to mixed (and some derisive) reviews. I thought it was a brave step, a good story and something I'd be happy to have on my CV. Beat Girl,…Read more Five transmedia projects – autumn 2013

Filmteractive conference, Poland

I have been graciously invited to come speak at the 2013 edition of the Filmteractive conference, to be held in Lodz, Poland on the 25-26 September. It promises to be a couple of interesting days, as we’ll hear about everything from cutting edge second screen solutions from ExMachina to the art of including brands in…Read more Filmteractive conference, Poland

Transmedia – the Green House Effect

Anyone who has read this blog knows that I'm a sucker for analogies. I find it easier to think better and more creative thoughts if I think outside the box... or if I decide the box actually does not exist to start with. This habit lead to a train of thought, which led to a…Read more Transmedia – the Green House Effect

Audience participation – the changing role of the Author

I’m really pleased to have had the opportunity this week to attend the Torino Film Lab and their Writer’s Room workshop here in Vaasa, Finland. The workshop – focusing on two transmedia projects – bring together the two creators, three experts and three people representing the TFL itself, for some quite intensive workshopping around the two…Read more Audience participation – the changing role of the Author
