a looking-glass book

first thoughts

i came into the program extremely interested in 'narrative across media'...it said this on my app and that desire hasn't really changed. what has changed is the way i think i will go about dealing with. i really wanted to concentrate on multiple mediums and dynamic stories. this too, has remained constant. but now i am looking towards mobile media and networked solutions integrating with theater, film, the written word, art...there are so many opportunities.

much of the talks (esp last semester) centered on world building vs narrative. but while there must be a balance between the two to achieve a compelling user experience, i dont believe that they are truly opposite ends of a spectrum.

with a little creative thought, many elements can be woven between the two element which allow a flexible story to be told. this massaging could occur between the two elements or perhaps in the actual media used. computers offer so much flexibility - in presentation, computation and organization...

this all sounds so vague. ill try again later.
