The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Simon Staffans:  'One thing that struck me as I was putting together  [One Year In Now Media 2013 Edition] is that it was shock full of great examples of storytelling in the ”Now Media” vein – from documentaries to ads, from TV series to native online content. All in all, a pretty great recap of what 2013 was all about, multiplatform and transmedia storytelling-wise.'

5 Comics/Transmedia Trends to Watch in 2013

5 Comics/Transmedia Trends to Watch in 2013 | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

After a stellar year in 2012, what's next for comics?  Hint: there's a lot of transmedia storytelling involved.

Andrea Deydén's curator insight, September 20, 2013 6:03 PM

Bastante interesante. Me gusta ver estos cambios, en especial porque poco a poco se empiezan a ver las fusiones entre los estilos estadounidense y japonés (hell, yeah, me refiero a Avatar: La leyenda de Aang/Korra).

 

Personalmente, me encanta que los cómics empiecen a usar más esta plataforma. No que no lo hubieran hecho antes (Marvel luego te engancha para que descargues libremente el número 1 de todos sus cómics y luego ya te vende los demás) o que no hubieran existido plataformas para hacerlo (Comicrack!!!). 

Como sea, me parece que estas tendencias son perfectamente observables hoy día y que podemos ver a dónde hacen evolucionar al cómic sin grandes temores a que echen algo a perder (además de la línea editorial de DC, is that to say)

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's curator insight, December 28, 2013 6:19 AM

If television is the brash younger sibling of cinema, then online web series are its screaming newborn grandchildren. As it's a medium still very much in its infancy, a whole host of questions remain unanswered. How long should an episode be? How do you keep fickle viewers coming back for more? Will they ever make any money? Until those answers are found, online filmmakers will continue to explore the possibilities of the nascent form, occasionally with wonderful results. Here are the best examples from 2013.
