Hypermedia Integration of Interface Design, Interactive Narrative Forms, Emotions & Values.

Here are the English version of the inspiration and the foundations of some of my thesis project "MultiCultural Videos" that I am developing on the framework of the M.F.A. in Interactive Media, School of Cinematicarts, USC.
I hope it can help to inspire others, specially my brilliant classmates Jesse & Ken, finding some practical applications or some elements to include on an interactive experience, in terms of interface design, interactive narrative forms, emotions and values.
