Review
“In the near future computer games will look more and more like films, and films—more and more like games. Owing to greater interactivity, the two will merge. The longer time passes, the more power the viewer gains. Authors will have to learn to tell stories in which all key decisions are made by the audience. The White Mirror explains clearly how and why this works. It is the first and only book in the world on the subject.”
—Alexander Molchanov, screenwriter and writer
“Today’s fashionable ‘interactive storytelling’ is simply an art form that interacts with people; any technical tool can be used. But to make it work you must also be able to hear the audience and understand how they react. Anton and Nata’s textbook seems to study a new technology, yet in fact it is also a superb guide to interacting with viewers. Useful not only for those exploring new media, but for every strong playwright, screenwriter, director—indeed, for anyone who wants to learn to listen and understand.”
—Julia Idlis, screenwriter & interactive-storytelling designer
“The world changes faster than our professional skills. New technologies appear almost yearly; students, novice producers and seasoned experts alike must master them. The book by Nata Pokrovskaya and Anton Utin is a unique and valuable reference for everyone who links their future to cinema, who is curious how the new generation will tell its stories and how we will represent the world on screen.”
