My approach is based on the premise that resonance is a pattern that can be mapped reproduced. I am not suggesting quality can be evaluated or engineered with a formula like Komar and Melamid, but forms like the hero's journey and characteristics of protagonist vs. antagonist reoccur and can be as a reference to analyze and inform the creation of narrative work.
Joseph Campbell's theories were used by George Lucas to add a legendary epic quality to Star Wars, and I hope that analysis of similarities across mediums can be used to enhance and preserve aspects in a mixed medium. My project is testing this idea with a user driven animation that is attempting to preserve the intimate charm of a book while communicating in a way unique to the new form.
