With over 10 years experience in the creative industries, working in design and console games (EA Games, Activision) and interactive media (Walt Disney Imagineering), Daniel Burwen, the brains behind the Operation Ajax, joined us for one of our Lunchtime Talks in October to share his thoughts and insight into interactive narrative and story-driven media.

Exploring how lessons learnt in the games world can be applied to digital storytelling, Daniel presented examples of successful interactive narrative, examined how different devices and interfaces change and enrich a story and deconstructed some of the mechanics of creating story-driven media in his wonderfully engaging and dynamic talk.

Due to the informality of the lunchtime talks series, these events are not regularly filmed, but on this occasion, we are delighted to be able to share a video of Daniel's talk with you:
