The Adventures of Barty and the Pirate (2014)
Description
How does a visual, sound and interactive element influence appeal? I investigate the impact of comical short form animated filmmaking with a game counterpart, examining Transmedia and its implications concerning independent animation production for entertainment. “The Adventures of Barty and the Pirate” is a movie story component that is an online pilot for an animated series. “Barty Run” an interactive component that is an endless-run mobile game, explores a comical world through direct interaction. My research examines popular content creation outside of the studio system, trying to build an audience in an intensely crowded, global and freely accessible online field.
