The resources aggregated here provide a rich and informative suite of documents for Canadian and Australian content producers moving into the digital space. Each illuminates specific areas of practice and taken together can answer many of the questions we have encountered in working and consulting on transmedia, multiplatform and convergent projects. Our own supplement to the Screen Australia Transmedia Bible expands on elements we have found to be unfamiliar to traditional media producers and which are not covered in the other resources gathered here. This section too is evolving & we will add to it over time in response to changing technologies & practices.
We wish to acknowledge the generousity of Gary Hayes & Screen Australia, Robert Pratten, and Julie Giles for making these documents available here.
The TMC Resource Kit has been generously supported by the CMF-FMC.
