[arg_discuss] What skills do you need for working in ARGs & transmedia

[Michael Monello]

Totally agree!

Storytelling, storytelling, storytelling. Don't train a workforce, graduate strong creative and critical thinkers/problem solvers and everything else will come easy.

Or is that just how I see it from where I'm standing - do you producer types see it similarly? If you could say that you'd like to see more people better educated in something, what would that something be? Or, is there some knowledge or skill you have that you feel has been instrumental or something you wish you had, what is it?
