Got word last night that the Why So Serious alternate reality game campaign for the Dark Knight won two 2009 Webby Awards (the regular one and the People’s Voice award). Congrats to the great team behind the game (wherever you are, now), and thanks to everyone who voted!
Here’s a really great interview with the guys at Fourth Wall Studios about the Future Of Entertainment…..
A lot of what people are doing is trying to fit other kinds of content, shoehorn that into the bottle of the Internet. What we’ve been working very hard at is to figure out what the native form to the internet is, what is the way it wants to tell stories?
For those of you in the LA area who may be interested, it looks like I’m going to be attending BarCampLA this Saturday (and possibly Sunday). This will be my first one, and I’ll have stuff with me to do a presentation on Alternate Reality Games, so we’ll see how it goes. :)
In addition, I’ve been asked to speak tomorrow at Cal Arts, which I’m really looking forward to. I’ll be talking about ARGs in general, and in more detail about the trials and tribulations of telling a story via multiple platforms. You know, The Future of Entertainment. :)
