Storytelling with Tim Burton and Twitter

The Cadavre Exquis or Exquisite Corpse, Stainboy, is the latest project from the mind of Tim Burton. This crowdsourcing technique of storytelling works by each participant adding to the story in one-sentence sequences, building off of the last sentence added. If you would like to contribute to Stainboy all you need to do is tweet your sentence of what happens next and hastag it with #burtonstory. It's kind of like choose your own adventure in a social media friendly sort of way. Anyone with a Twitter account can participate between now and December 6, 2010. The best tweets of the day will be selected to build the story. Watch it unfold on the official website.

This social media campaign was launched in efforts to build excitement for the Toronto International Film Festival which will be honoring Burton and his work this year.
