| [rohrpost] sagas writing interactive fiction courses 2003 |
Please note the dates for the upcoming sagas Writing Interactive Fiction creative workshops addressing European scriptwriters, directors, producers, artists and designers as well as developers and programmers ... sagas Writing Interactive Fiction is a joint non-profit initiative of the European MEDIA Programme Training and the Academy for Film and TV Munich aimed at developing fiction writing skills for the interactive media market. All courses will be held in English. Module 1: Interactive Digital Moviemaking Workshop Christopher Hales 27.2. � 6.3.2003, HFF, Munich Application deadline: 5.2.2003 This practical workshop deals with the design and production of desktop interactive non-linear narratives using "live-action" video footage. All the different aspects of creating interactive movies will be explored, although the emphasis will be on the visual metaphors for interaction rather than written scriptwriting: participants will be asked to think laterally about their definition of narrative when issues of interactivity are concerned. Actual desktop production techniques will be demonstrated, but the course will concentrate on innovative and aesthetic issues rather than detailed technical complexities of delivery platform and software. A lecture-based strand of this workshop presents ways in which moving images have been, and could be, made interactive � investigating structure, interface and metaphor, and the importance of content. There will also be some discussion of the relevance of newly developing 'convergence' areas of interactive digital TV and set-top boxes. The practical strand shows how actual products could be piloted on a low-budget desktop system. Video cameras are provided for participants to generate their own video footage as a response to the techniques learnt, and the digital production cycle from video acquisition to multimedia authoring (Director) will be demonstrated. Within the short span of the course each participant (or small group) should be able to produce a modest piece of interactive digital video for presentation on the final day and to take home with them from the workshop. Module 2/3: Developing Interactive Entertainment Workshop Greg Roach Part 1 Concepting: 20.3. � 26.3.2003, ZKM Karlsruhe Application deadline: 26.2.2003 Confirmed speakers: Ted Evans, Flextech Television (London), Maureen Thomas, CUMIS Cambridge University Moving Image Studio, Mika Tuomola, Media Lab UIAH, Helsinki Part 2 Prototyping: 23.9. � 29.9.2003, UIAH, MEDIA LAB, Helsinki Application deadline: 26.2.2003 In this intensive hands-on workshop the relationship between storytelling, visual media techniques and interactivity will be explored in depth. During part 1 participants work in teams on the development of several interactive narrative concepts, 2 � 3 of these concepts will be selected for being prototyped in part 2. Module 4: Mobile Gaming Workshop Anthony Dunne, Fiona Raby 3.4.-9.4.2003, HFF, Munich Application deadline:10.3.2003 Participants will form teams of three to five members and develop during this intense 5-day workshop fictional concepts for wireless devices considering the challenges, limitations and advantages coming with the choice of designing for mobile technology. Module 5: FUTURE TV Workshop Raimo L�ng 7.10. � 13.10.2003, HFF Munich Application deadline: 8.9.2003 In this creative workshop participants will develop fiction concepts for ITV in teams.
