Call for participation

sagas Writing Interactive Fiction creative crossdisciplinary workshops
with the aim to explore the narrative potential of interactive media...
addressing European scriptwriters, directors, producers,
artists and designers as well as developers and programmers...


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.
