• $10 - Unpolished Rock (but with potential) Level: A free digital download of the album, when it's released.

• $25 - Polished Rock Level: An advance copy of the CD. Weeks before the masses.

• $2,500 - Emerald Level: Mentioned as an executive producer of the album -- whoop-di-doo!

• $5,000 - Diamond Level: I will come and do a house concert for you. Invite your friends, serve some drinks, bring me out and I sing. Actually, this level is a smart choice economically. I've played many house concerts where the host has charged his guests and made his money back. I'd go for this if I were you.

• $10,000 - Weapons-Grade Plutonium Level: You get to come and sing on my CD. Don't worry if you can't sing - we can fix that on our end. Also, you can always play the cowbell.

Cross-Platform

Cross-Media, Transmedia

TransmediaDevelop the story across multiple entry points

Multi-platform Types/examples:

Deep audience engagement Events

Target for amenable audiences Games/ARG

Audience can become immersed in experience Interactive components

Each element a distinctive experience Graphic Novels

Story flows & builds rev streams Online & viral content

Should start before the film is done (dev best) Think Outside the norms - experiences

Encourages participatory audiences

May need a team

TransmediaKeep a mind towards audience dev. components from the beginning

Some Experts:

Think beyond marketing Christy Dena

It’s not all about the film - extend the experience Stephen Dinehart (coined)

Think about impact & social change Jeff Gomez

Not just games.... events, gallery shows, etc. Henry Jenkins

Some projects may not need to be a film Mike Monello

...or can become one if successful John Threat

Transmedia can be simple Lance Weiler

Many more
