Uncle, what did you
do? Did you accidently summon Nyarlathotep, the faithful servant of Azathoth,
who rose to power during the reign of the evil pharaoh Nephren-Ka? In my
research into this mysterious stone, that is the only thing that would make
sense when comparing the information to your somewhat incoherent ramblings in
your journals. Yes, you had to have awakened the Crawling Chaos, but how?
This is an opening paragraph on one of the blog posts from
Wisdom From Beyond. Wisdom From Beyond was an extremely detailed transmedia
project that my group built for class and has created a tremendous journey
into the world of H.P. Lovecraft. This immersive, interactive, transmedia story
based on H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Haunter of the Dark,” was designed and produced
by students of Full Sail University's Creative Writing for Entertainment BFA
program and I am proud to say that I was the project manager for this story.
If you are unfamiliar with transmedia writing, that is OK.
It is a rather new literary form that sets out to create Alternative Reality
Games (ARGs), using multiple storytelling techniques and platforms. In our
case, we used Blogger, Pinterest, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, and Gmail to
accomplish our goal. In the end, I feel that we created something that is
creative, entertaining, modern, and most importantly, stays true to the source
mythos. Honestly, if you are a fan of Lovecraft, you should enjoy it.
I would love to hear your feedback on the project,
especially the content. I honestly have fallen in love with this type of
storytelling and am considering venturing into my own project. If you want to
get started follow this link to the first YouTube video and follow the
prompts left inside the videos, descriptions, and blog.
