DIYDays in LA<\/strong> <\/a>— from ChristineWeitbrecht.com<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Needless to say, today\u2019s workshops at DIYDays LA<\/a> were filled to the brim with great speakers and innovative perspectives. For those that couldn\u2019t attend today\u2019s workshops, here\u2019s a re-cap of the most important bits:<\/p>\n

Common Points<\/strong>
\nThere were a few common themes mentioned in almost every talk I attended, and they were all based on experiences (good and bad) from existing projects…<\/p>\n

People mentioned include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Henry Jenkins<\/a>: If it Doesn\u2019t Spread, it\u2019s Dead

Creating a Transmedia Narrative II: Storytelling<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>— from ChristineWeitbrecht.com<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

My last post on \u2018Creating a Transmedia Narrative<\/a>\u2018 ignited a lengthy discussion in one of my LinkedIn groups<\/a>. It seems that some of my readers thought that I was trying to establish that transmedia narratives follow different narrative norms\/ no longer need to be based on traditional conventions of telling a story. This is not what I was trying to say<\/em>. I merely pointed at parallels found in successful story worlds, narrative universes that withstood the test of time and continue to invite producers and audiences to expand their stories across different media. In order to last for decades or more and <\/em>be expandable across different media, any narrative needs to have a \u2018larger-than-life\u2019 aspect to it, and I used my blog post to break this \u2018larger-than-life\u2019 aspect down into its individual, more accessible parts.<\/p>\n
