Hypermedia storytelling. http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/completeguidecover.png This is my copy of the Complete Guide to Middle-earth, by Robert Foster, from the 1980s http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/completeguideworn.png The pages are pretty weathered about 25 years on. http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/iainbanksappsticker.jpg The first companion app I devised was for the launch of Iain Banks' novel Transition. The app was advertised on the front cover. http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/bookswithappsstarkey.jpg Here we see Kings & Queens on the iPad, set against a hardback copy of the book, with other titles I have worked on around it http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/starkeyfilming.jpg We filmed David Starkey and incorporated him directly in to the app, as though a tutor with a group. I'm directing behind camera on the left. http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/starkeygreenscreenandcomposited.png There is about an hour of Dr Starkey in the app. I shot most against a green screen and then composited in place. http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/photographingannesdiary.jpg I photographed the Diary from many different angles in order to feed the images into computer software which generated a rough 3D model http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/buddyframe.jpg I wrote and produced this short introduction to the Anne Frank app, featuring her last surviving relative, Buddy Elias. http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/annetap.jpg Here a finger is tapping on a highlighted word in the Diary. The page darkens as the background content options swirl around the reader's finge http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/annesroom.jpg As the app opens, the reader is taken through a 3D model of Anne's room, based on the John Blair layout, and finally looks down at the desk http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/facsimilethree.png We selected a number of interesting pages to let the reader examine the variety of inserts Anne added to the Diary http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/scriveneronimac.jpg This is a screenshot of Scrivener on my iMac while drafting out the novelisation for series 3 of The Almighty Johnsons. http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/publisherplusoverviewvideo.jpg This video provdies a teaser for the new PublisherPlus platform, and what aspiring digital storytellers can do with it. http://www.kirkbowe.com/images/pasted%20image%20358x482.png This diagram illustrates how the new Bluetooth Smart technology, embedded within the visitor's digital guide, enables museums to track movement http://www.kirkbowe.com/assets/sidebar@2x.png 2015-06-30 weekly 0.5 http://www.kirkbowe.com/assets/booksplashbackground@2x.png 2015-06-30 weekly 0.5 http://www.kirkbowe.com/assets/strapline@2x.png 2015-06-30 weekly 0.5
