last week we had the opportunity to work with Mark Ashmore of Future Artists http://www.futureartists.co.uk/ he works primarily in the field of transmedia. which essentially is telling a story over a range of different platforms (eg twitter, facebook, film, live performance etc...) the idea has been about for a while but the term for it has only really appeared in the last few years.
Mark showed us some of the work from one of the pioneers of transmedia story telling; Lance Weiler http://lanceweiler.com/ he incorperated twitter and location based programmes with live and pre-recorded performance.
after we had a discussion about what we understood of transmedia we started looking into working a short show we would be performing on the friday. The subect we would be looking into was to be 'Lost Generation: setting the record straight.' Mark set up a hashtag on twitter #lostgen and during the original discussion we used the hashtag to tweet in some of the ideas that were emerging. with these ideas we would start to formulate how our shows were going to pan out.
