Pecha Kucha Presentation on Multipath

5th Oct 2011 – By Michael Kubler

Slide 01

Hi! I’m Michael Kubler, the Co-Founder of Films on the Fly an Adelaide based startup which is fostering paradigm changes in entertainment and education.
I’d like to welcome you to the dawn of a new era, the era of Multipath Storytelling.
But first, a quick history of communication.

Slide 02

As civilisation has progressed, we have developed various forms of media. From word of mouth through to the one to many broadcasting of print, radio, TV and the like. You should all be aware of the many to many power of the Internet although some of you may not have seen the recent surge in Interactive online video.

Slide 03

The Multipath concept is a form of interactive video combined with collaborative communities.

Interactive Storytelling is about giving the viewer a choice over which of the multiple story paths they want to take.

Imagine those old Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Storybooks, but as online video.

Slide 04

Multipath enables the seed of an idea to grow into a tree of stories by allowing communities to expand upon the concept, uploading videos, photos, text and other media. Then importantly, linking that media together in meaningful ways. The core of Multipath is about the relationships between the content.

Interactive Video examples

Here are some examples of Interactive video being done online. They cover a wide gamut from being a single video to many videos to choose from, to voting at the end of the episode for what should happen in the next episode, through to crowd sourced re-creation of a whole movie in tiny snippets.

Note that whilst these aren’t videos which Films on the Fly has created, some are examples of work that we would like to work on, or are similar to work we have already done.

Street Fighter

Play a game of street fighter, on YouTube! As with most of these style of interactive videos, they are built using YouTube annotations.

Deliver Me To HELL

This is very well produced Choose-Your-Own-Adventure story about trying to deliver pizza after a Zombie outbreak. There’s not many options, but it’s rather well made and given the first film has 3.8 Million views (with one of the last having 500k), it was likely more effective than a similar TV advert. Certainly more fun!
