Christian Fonnesbech talks Cloud Chamber

Rasmus Lund-Hansen caught up with Christian Fonnesbech, transmedia director, of Cloud Chamber a social internet mystery game/found footage kind of media experience that has just launched.

"Basically it's just a good story told on what the internet can do," says Fonnesbech when asked to explain the concept. "So on a single site we're mixing film, found footage, with a social networking and game mechanics. We're making the audience into detectives and they basically have to discuss their way through the mystery."

"What we really have here is a story about a young female astro physicist and she basically betrays her father and risk insanity in order to save humanity from itself. That's the big pitch. But basically what we have is it's found footage so the characters are filming and writing the story themselves and leaving it for you to find. They discover that the Petersen Institute where they work has hidden a signal from another world for 40 years. At the same time they discover that Kathleen's mother dide working with the signal 40 years ago. And they start to peel back what's going on. Maybe her father killed her. Maybe she went insane and killed herself. Then the signal starts manifesting in Kathleen, the young astro physicist's head. Maybe she's going insane. That's up to you to discuss."
