Two Pens's curator insight, May 13, 2013 3:34 PM

Transmedia is a weird term. It's also a new world that incorporates elements of traditional film-making, digital assets, photography, architectural drawings, you name it: all in service to story. It's fun but it 

takes a whip to control all those elements into something that translates into more than the sum of its parts.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's curator insight, December 13, 2012 4:30 AM

One such launch was Comic Book Think Tank, spearheaded by Ron Perazza and Daniel Govar.

Q&A: Frank Rose on digital storytelling and media immersion

Q&A: Frank Rose on digital storytelling and media immersion | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
Transmedia has become a real buzzword lately, but the problem with that term is that it puts the emphasis on the means - telling stories across various media platforms - rather than on the goal. The goal is immersiveness. Using different media becomes natural when you have a distribution platform - the Internet - that subsumes all media. But that's not the only way to reach the goal.


Frank Rose is the author of The Art of Immersion: How the Digital Generation Is Remaking Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and the Way We Tell Stories and a contributing editor to Wired.
