Transmedia evolution - the early models had pieces that didn't fit together.
The new versions result in a property where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Transmedia storytelling is conveying messages to a mass audience by artful and well planned use of multiple platforms.
Jeff did the multiple properties for Avatar, although many of them didn't see the light of day, because they were seen as too expensive.(!).

The possibility of fan-sourced storylines becoming incorporated into the storyworld.
We are at a Golden moment in transmedia - but creators need to establish authorship.
Pitchng methodology
perceived value is embedded in traditional publishing
something that has a pricetag (comic novel, book)

Start a fanbase, think of it as a religion.
Transmedia producers are being developed in major studios and networks - the paradigm shift is occurring.
New formats
