*Notes from a lecture given at [Channel 4](http://www.channel4.com) in London in February 2002, as part of the [Mesh Scheme](https://web.archive.org/web/20020602071456/http://www.channel4.com:80/mesh/) for digital animation filmmakers.*

The lecture is aimed at designers and filmmakers thinking about how to make narratives that involve user or audience interaction. Ideologies, examples, processes and the practicalities of stories that aren’t linear.
