Developing Interactive Entertainment Workshop
Headed by: Greg Roach / Guest Speaker (on ARG): Dave Szulborski/ March 03 2006 – March 09 2006, Academy for TV and Film Munich, Germany
In this intensive workshop the relationship between storytelling, visual media techniques, game design and interactivity will be explored in depth. Participants will learn to apply their knowledge of media and narrative to the new arena of digital technology by developing their own ideas for an interactive product, which are then processed in a group design and presentation phase. Participants will develop, in teams, presentations for an interactive narrative product which is then discussed and evaluated by the entire plenum.
