"Like writing a screenplay in a tornado, Zero Story Game creates a stage for galvanizing vision and value into story." 

In an AVX* story room, producers, writers, actors, directors, editors, and entertainment designers play a narrative design game that launches a new workflow,  built for digital cinema.

ZSG players create high level deliverables, moving a project from development to writing, or writing to pre-production.

Whether the goal is fast tracking a realtime event movie, a classic reboot/remake, or launching an original IP, ZSG gamifies

the creative process for 

group metabolics.

With a game mechanic based on SW/ER/VE, a story wave UI is extended from atoms of story into a read/write visual matrix. The effect is

rule-based dramatic collaboration

able to rig and validate story into structure,

or reverse engineer structure into story.

Working both directions recursively allows the development process to meet

criteria for next level narrative design (see RATED-S and SCI).

However, without tossing the baby out of the proverbial legacy bathwater, the challenge is to accelerate the creative process using new technologies indigenous digital cinema. By imagining what we can add to image capture, post workflow, satellite distribution  and theatrical projection -- we can impact industry before image capture begins. Up to this moment, all of digital cinema has been an orchestration of technical achievement,  derivative and/or exceeding analog film. But mastery over the content variable is an area of digital cinema that is still elusive. that impact story and entertainment  value. By installing a new development model at industry scale there can be upside that help improve the quality of narrative art while impacting the social cinema initiatives.

Hollywood functions as a virtual think thank. Ideas often flow sideways and in circles, with familiarity a marker projecting success. But all studios have budgets and schedules. So to manufacture success is to recognize that any slate requires  a percentage of hits that can leverage box office downside. There is a correlation, however, that can be drawn between   

the more intangible top line and often unpredictable bottom line factors.

Zero Story Game, Rated-S and SCI (Social Cinema Initiatives) are tools, workflows and platforms that can help

shift an entertainment model based on 20th century top down narrative art, toward 21st century lateral moving

narrative design, able to sustain demands for a responsive, sustainable, and inclusive storytelling industry -- without

throwing the baby out of the proverbial legacy bath waters.​
