Another PTTP presentation – forgive us tapping the same resource repeatedly, but it was chock full of goodness, and I would have blogged it three weeks ago if this blog had been launched then.

Most of you who are already interested in these things will know Lance Weiler as a key proponent of transmedia storytelling.  He was director of the Blair-Witchy The Last Broadcast (1998) and Head Trauma (2006), and is now organiser of the touring conference DIY Days (like a North American PTTP) and the brains behind online resource The Workbook Project.

This excellent 30 minute presentation covers Lance’s ideas about “story architecture” – how to structure and develop transmedia interactive stories.

I wish I could find a link to his slides, but it doesn’t seem like he publishes them.  Although they’re inserted into the video here, their detail is lost.
UPDATE: Found them via a tweet from @sarn – have embedded player above so you can read them while listening to the video.
