Kickoff Week!<\/p>\n
Amalgamedia has been getting settled into it\u2019s new project room at the ETC. \u00a0Amalgamedia will be producing a transmedia experience for the band Anti-Flag. \u00a0This week we established team roles as follows:<\/p>\n
Patrick Shore: Producer
\nAlex Loughran: Director
\nFrank Hamilton: Technical Director
\nChen Yang: Editor
\nSimeng Yang: 2D Artist
\nHimanshu Vartak: Programmer<\/p>\n
We feel confident that with our powers combined, we will create an experience unlike anything anyone has ever seen.<\/p>\n
This week we have been finding our groove and finding out how we work together as a team. \u00a0We have come up with how we want to brand ourselves, poster art, and a tone for the experience we want to convey. \u00a0We also have a very rough storyboard and timeline laid out for the film portion of the experience, and a rough estimate of how long we want each part of the experience to be. \u00a0Research includes current transmedia experiences and also video games. \u00a0Specifically we have been looking at what makes these things fun and successful, in hopes that they may guide our own vision. \u00a0The team has also begun location scouting and figuring out casting for the film.<\/p>\n
On the technical side of things, Frank and Himanshu have been figuring out some tips and tricks with HTML5 and Facebook interaction, which game engines will work best with HTML5, and specifically what would be the best option for actually hosting the experience.<\/p>\n
Amalgamedia is very excited to start working on this project for the semester. \u00a0We want to create an experience that not only engages an audience but makes them want to come back for more.<\/p>\n
