Transmedia is a narrative tool that allows to expand the ways of telling a cinematographic storyline. New technologies allow the development of a story on several platforms to be boosted and expanded therefore given the spectator a new experience.

- Photographs taken by Andrei as the film progresses. We can see the transformation of the character through his pictures.

- Technical reports of all the missions and incidents that happen throughout the story.

- "The Cosmonaut letters": Pieces ranging from 1 to 3 minutes, based on a dream like world with a voice over of different characters (one by each piece), that tell the relationship and feelings between them, from when they first met until the end of the movie..

- [Spoiler] "The Moon Files": the film recordings and images that tell what really happen when Stan lost communication with Earth up until his arrival back to Earth. 

- Shortfilms y Sequences: Sequences that will be shot by the crew or by guest artists with certain limitations such as location and characters. They will be unlocked as you keep progressing through levels on the video game developed for the iPhone and iPad.

- [Spoiler] "The dreams of the Cosmonaut": We will see dream like and hallucination sequences that deal with Stan at the end of the film, once he got back to Earth.

Some of these proposals, will be chosen by the fans in word and image contests, some of them will be shot by the film crew or by guest directors.

- Phone Calls: Telephone calls between characters, only audio, that will explain some details of the story. They will be broadcast throughout the internet and radio at specific time slots. These broadcasts will be interlaced with the story on some creative unique ways, for example, on some ads at determined hours and announced beforehand..

- ARG: Alternate Reality Game. A game that will be based on the universe of the movie, but it will also take some ambiance from the real world, and its theme will be about the lost cosmonauts and the documents that acknowledge or not this series of "urban myths".  All along the movie, clues and hints will help the participants to unravel the mysteries that surround the space race.

- "What do you want to be when you grow up?": 5 pieces for the cellphone platform, with a duration of 2 to 5 minutes, that will narrate Stan and Andrei's life before entering Star City. We will see them when they were once pilots dreaming with the idea of becoming cosmonauts. The last episode will be downloaded on the same cinema that premiers the Cosmonaut and the ending will follow the first scene of the movie.

    Well with that I'll unsubscribe from the blog. Transmedia in every form is fuck'n retarded and people that pursue it turn out crap. The only people that do Transmedia are the ones that can't make a good film and then they start to use gimmicks

    Dan, what's so wrong with transmedia? Our transmedia project is designed to complement, but not substitute for, the experience of the movie. It is an optional add-on feature. How could that ruin a movie?
