WK 8: Story Model - Non-linear Narrative

A game based on a toy based
on a movie based on a book
based on an existing world
from a children's book? 
I encourage all of you to key in to the examples that we use for the class, get them for your library or simply watch/play them, and then find similar titles through meta-data on sites like Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, IMDB, and so forth if you are not already doing so. This landscape is changing! Much like the music genome project has created Pandora, various "moviegenome" projects are now emerging and as the filters get better and the crowds contribute content the data will likely merge and a victor will more than likely emerge. What is the best example of Transmedia?! Find them and post them here!


Fun fact: this Prezi went viral in 2012. At the time of this posting is sits at just under 60,000 views.

The Halo motion comics are based on comics based on a novel of short stories based on the background history of the world in the video game "Halo: Combat Evolved". Additionally, the movie "Forward Unto Dawn" (which is now on Netflix) is a live action film based on the backstory to a game which was not out at the time of the film's original release. This use of transmedia is like making movie video games, but the other way around, and, in my opinion, far more successful. It is often easier to add story to game mechanics than game mechanics to a story. Agency is a fickle beast.

The walking dead is a great example of that too.
