Televisionation: Butcher Bird Studios’ Diaz-Przybl and Calcote on Creating Interactive Narratives

This episode features Lillian Diaz-Przybyl and Steve Calcote, Producer and Director respectively at Butcher Bird Studios, a full-service creative and production studio specializing in interactive and immersive video experiences. They discuss their work—including producing content in the “liquid” environment of an “open-world show,” where plots change in response to audience choices; outline best practices for creating interactive narratives (including the question, “What is the right amount of interactivity?”); cast light on new tools that are emerging to facilitate the creation of interactive content; explain the business case for interactivity; and more.
