I really enjoyed working on this final project! The Tubular Tunes group got back together for the last time and we had a great time working together and reflecting on how this semester has gone and everything we learned. We decided to change directions slightly with our final project: we did our design aspect on…

November 14, 2019

The mashup assignments were really fun to do! My favorite was probably Changing Character because I really liked getting to revisit Harry Potter and get to see the characters grow up again.

For this assignment, I had to take a close up of an actor and superimpose another photo onto it. I choose the “What do you want” scene from the Notebook. In order to remix this assingment, I had to add a Dr. Seuss image, so I decided to make Dr. Seuss the superimposed image. In…

I mainly used Harry Potter photos since he did Harry Potter for so long. In case no one knows, Matthew Lewis plays Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter movies. I really…

4.11 Stars I decided to make this a re-do of one of my previous assignments: Coming to America Instead of putting aliens in the poster, I decided to put a tiger (Rajah from Aladdin) which would fit in with the character’s origin story better. How I did it: First off I had to find a…

For this remix assignment I had to change the media up. The original assignment was design based, so I turned it into an audio assignment. I love the Black Panther, so it was cool condensing the movie down to a few sentences to tell it as it is.

After reading Prof Bond’s comments on my idea (comparing life today with life in the 80’s) the topic interests me even more now that no one has ever done it! In my mind I was thinking of interviewing my parents and maybe some of my grandparents to get different perspectives. I also think Melody’s idea…

I listened to the 80’s television show and it was awesome! I loved the robotic voice in the intro. I would love to know how they accomplished that! Kollin did a great job with analyzing Full House. I never watched it as a kid, but he is right, there are references everywhere! We even use…
