Hi everyone~ here goes my inaugural Mod post lol
One thing I love about multimedia projects is the opportunity to show or not show different things. Like in my Petal series, I have different stories lined up depending on them being a novel or a comic; with both of them I can play with form and symbol...

Thanks for sharing the video, Dwayne Williams 2. I came up with a script idea recently that could be a transmedia project. And it's micro-budget, so it might be easier for a producer to turn the scrip...

I love that idea Maurice Vaughan. I haven’t tried a micro-budget approach for transmedia yet, so that actually sounds really exciting. What genre did you decide to go with for your project?...

Thanks, Dwayne Williams 2. It's a Thriller story. For now. :)

Thanks, Dwayne Williams 2. And thanks for the offer. The comparables are The Purge, 30 Days of Night, and Blade right now.
Wow, that’s a perfect blend of comparables, Maurice Vaughan. Both are actually my favorite vampire films, so that mix hits right away. With those influences, are you planning to bring in a signature w...

Blade is my favorite vampire movie, Dwayne Williams 2. I came up with weapons, traps, etc. for Vampire-Proof. Really unique weapons and things.
Oh nice, that sounds very interactive Maurice Vaughan. I love it when a world has its own unique weapons and traps; it really pulls the audience in. I’d love to hear more about what you’ve created whe...

Lore design builds depth and coherence that audiences can carry across different platforms. Iconic vehicles like Knight Rider’s KITT, Batman’s Batmobile, and the car culture in Gone in 60 Seconds show how transportation objects can become cultural symbols, inspire replicas, and fuel toys. The car fa...

That's a great idea, Dwayne Williams 2! Treating vehicles like side characters (personalities, strengths, flaws, etc.).
This is a great, in-depth look at the success of Netflix.
It gives a great breakdown of the success and challenges that Netflix has faced and unlike the legacy studios who seem stuck in the mould of re-telling old stories and being risk-adverse, the streamer has not shrunk from embracing new talent....

Netflix’s story is incredible, Geoff Hall! It went from being a DVD-by-mail movie rental service to a juggernaut streaming service in such a short time.

I think great works are those that lean on endless timelines and parallel universes, but they are very complex to develop and write.
