Transmedia Storytelling: An Entrepreneurial Approach

Transmedia Storytelling: An Entrepreneurial Approach | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Via Simon Staffans
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Nuno Bernardo:  "In the context of a shrinking market populated by increasingly fragmented audiences, transmedia storytelling provides a viable alternative to the conventional TV and Film production business."

Simon Staffans's curator insight, October 15, 2015 7:07 AM

Some good advice from Nuno.

Nathan Schultz's curator insight, November 25, 2015 4:54 PM

 

This article provides a perspective on transmedia storytelling from a more pragmatic standpoint:  It is easy to say that good multimedia storytelling involves multiple different platforms all working together, but it is much harder to impliment this idea, from a purely economic standpoint.  Making a movie or video game is vastly more expensive than writing and publishing a book, just to give an example.

 

This article helps to tackle that problem by explaining how entrepreneurs can best sell their ideas to companies or developers who have the capital to provide support for their projects.
