Services
For years, Christy Dena has been providing a range of services to agencies, production companies, organisations, corporations and individual practitioners. At Universe Creation 101, Christy is still working on other people’s projects, but is also developing her own creative projects and web services. When working on other people’s projects, Christy often feels like The Wolf from Pulp Fiction…helping to deal with the gory details:
1. Strategy, Design and Production of Transmedia-Native Projects
I’m brought in by agencies and production houses to either execute or assist in the design of a cross/transmedia project. Projects are developed according to the artistic and economic goals of the project, as well as the skills of the team.
2. Transmedia Design and Directing to Extend an Existing Project
I’m often brought in to develop an existing project across media. These projects can be a feature film, documentary, television show, novel, digital game and so on. I work to determine the core essence of the project, goals and budget to ensure a well-integrated project is developed. I can either work with your existing team as a transmedia designer, writer and/or director.
3. Transmedia Story & Game Analyst
I’m often called in to analyse the design of a project during the early develop stage or later before moving into production. I provide a detailed analysis of what needs fixing, why and how before more money is spent…and to make it even more excellent.
4. Public Speaking
I present on changes to entertainment, arts and marketing for film, television, arts, gaming, literature and academic audiences…specialising, of course, in fictions across media.
5. Educator
I design lectures and workshops for festivals, organisations and corporations both large and small-scale about changes to entertainment, and how to strategise and design for these changes. See the speaking page for public lectures and also the workshops page.
6. Mentor
I mentor film, TV, literature and new media practitioners (both early and experienced) on transmedia design, writing, rollout and strategy.
6. Writer (non-fiction)
I have have been commissioned to write articles and chapters on a variety of new media artforms, events and changes to entertainment and marketing.
7. Judge
Funding bodies, festivals, organisations, corporations and universities call on me to judge and assess various trans/cross-media and new media art projects.
