Editor's Notes
- #2 Paul Burke’s challenge: ‘spacing, weight and flow between story-experience-elements.... Specifically: moving people between elements, exploring the opportunities for audiences (and the project) in the gaps, deciding if and when to ask the audience to do 'work', how we reward that irk beyond badges." --------------------------------- #1.: Alison “There are panels on 'transmedia' rising up everywhere, but nothing that conclusively nails down 'STORY' - and then disseminates onto transmedia. I strongly advocate that the term 'transmedia' is reliant on a robust, invigorated story, upheld by an elegant architecture that makes it 'transmedia ready'. StoryWorld Conference will be a game-changer - will help to make storytelling as we now know it an historical term, in the way that 'talkies' helped revolutionise cinema back in the 1920's. 1) Story Design = Architecture 2) why people are moving UX – How it is how you move people? And reward that behavior? => 5Es experience design

- #4 EMERGING ART FORM = EMERGING GENRES TOO – Ever Changing Technologies ->Transmedia CREATORS need to think about design apart from technology ... WHY Stories ARE TOOLS (as with TECH) => communicate Experience - Emotion - Information – Knowledge DESIGN GLOBALLY AND SPECIFICALLY -> STORY ARCHITECTURE ! CRAFTING YOUR DESIGN !

Combined, the shows will account for 30 original episodes next season. série télévisée, il s’agit en fait d’un univers narratif transmédia, une histoire de gens ordinaires dotés de capacités extraordinaires. Créé par Tim Kring, l’univers de Heroes comporte presque tous les éléments sur lesquels une fiction transmédia peut être racontée.Dans l’histoire de Heroes, tous les Héros sont interconnectés par leur patrimoine génétique leur offrant des capacités extraordinaires. Diffusé et produit par NBC, le point central de l’univers transmédia sera la diffusion télévisuelle des épisodes.Hiro Nakamura, un des personnages principaux, dispose d’un blog personnel. Claire Bennet, la pom pom girl « incassable » s’affiche avec un profil MySpace. Un forum en ligne est dédié aux 9th Wonders, un Comic dont il est question dans la série et qui est dessiné par Isaac Mendes, un des personnages de celle-ci. Forum sur lequel les fans de la série s’échangent les théories les plus saugrenues de conspiration au sein de l’univers Heroes. Enfin, les sites officiels des entreprises citées dans la série sont eux aussi disponibles.L’ensemble des épisodes de la série est disponible en ligne via un portail dédié, maintenu par NBC et sur lequel les fans peuvent aussi consulter des digital comics mettant en scène les différents personnages dans des histoires complémentaires à celles de la série.NBC a donc bien conscience de l’importance d’une présence multiplateforme de cette série de même que de celle de l’entretien de la conversation des fans autour de celle-ci.

- #22 One Layer // Must start SOON = related to DESIGN and STORYTELLING (Fav) ONLINE STRATEGY Communication = Human Behaviors and Relationships ----------------------- Owned + Earned + Paid MEDIA ( http://www.customerthink.com/blog/social_media_earned_media_and_paid_media) The social element implies an Openness + Transparency in Communication + Cooperation Collaboration // Co-creation Advertising Age , earned media includes the media brands cultivate via Twitter, Facebook, blogs, viral marketing campaigns... ...form of Consumer-generated content (CGC) Companies earn positive consumer-generated content if they enable COMPELLING CONSUMER EXPERIENCE. peer-reviews and other forms of CGC is trusted and has a growing influence on customer purchase decisions. Diff : Paid media, tradition advertising, is producing diminishing returns. Think of earned media as PULL, as a force that attracts customers to potential experiences. Think of traditional advertising as PUSH, a company telling consumers what they should buy. Both can impact sales, however, PULL is much more likely to result in loyalty and advocacy.
- #23 THE IDEA // REASON (Maieutics) Lance Weiler May 2011 -1- STORYWORLD -2- DESIGN -3- GAMEPLAY -4- COMMUNITIES -5- PRODUCTION -6- BUSINESS MODELS -7- MULTI-PLATFORMS ------------------ Family 1 – STORYWORLD The Storyworld is the universe of an enlarged story based on a synopsis and narrative framework. It encompasses all possible ramifications and constitutes the depth and richness of a transmedia creation or experience. Family 2 - DESIGN A transmedia experience is meant to be lived, albeit virtually. Both the staging and the artistic direction give life to the experience. The members are translating the visions of the creator into images, apps, graphics, sounds, video and all other necessary forms, bridging the gap between reality and imagination. Family 3 - GAMEPLAY The game mechanics and the narrative are intricately linked to one another. Not only do the game mechanics encourage and engender user interaction, but they also speak to the spirit of creation and engagement that characterizes the project. Family 4 - COMMUNITIES We take into account the users' habits, needs and expectations. The analysis of the user behavior is essential to the design process and the production. Careful integration of user knowledge and practical usages in the making of the interactive experience empowers users to generate their own creative content. Family 5 - PRODUCTION Professionals from creative industries and their respective organizations work hand-in-hand with collaborators in the conceptualization, the management, and the production of a transmedia project. Thus we are exploring new methods of collaborative work. Family 6 - BUSINESS MODELS Finding its roots in the creative industry, a transmedia project is ad-hoc and is meant to be reinvented and reconfigured. Its greatest challenge is thus accommodating diverse contributors and users in the hopes of finding a project that promises sound financial return. Family 7 - MULTI-PLATFORMS Digital platforms and media can be integrated into transmedia experiences, creation and production. Multi-platforms encourage users to explore different digital territories. Some are easily accessible and others can put even the biggest geek into a passionate transmedia storyworld. But technology still isn't the most important character.
