Collapsus*
A transmedia story about global energy politics combines interactivity, fiction, animation, and documentary. It combines real documentary footage with mini-games and movie fragments to create an immersive experience. Produced by Amsterdam based production company Submarine. Directed by Tommy Pallotta and produced by Bruno Felix and Femke Wolting.
*Production Notes:
"The audience for documentary is dying. The average age of a television documentary
viewer is 55 and up. Dutch broadcaster VPRO came to Submarine with the concept of
making a simulation game in which the player experiences the impending world’s energy
problems. The goal was to attract a different audience than traditional documentary
viewers.
What emerged from this experiment is the transmedia experience, Collapsus. SubmarineChannel,
the producers of Collapsus, has over a decade of experience with documentary
storytelling and with making games and animations, but their real passion lies in
creating a cross-over between these genres."
