    Relaxing Royskopp

    by
    Here’s a  two Star mashup assignment which turned out to be an old favorite of mine. It’s a nice track paring to sit back and relax to. Since I used YouTube Doubler for this one all I can do is give you the link. If you like the rain sound, I highly suggest going to the Rainy […]

    Thursday Summary and Pending Assignments

    by
    Well I learned the hard way already that you have to check your work before you publish. I uploaded a mashup that didn’t have what I wanted in it. I’ve got the hang of video editing, it’s just a few more details to pay attention to. Though I will say that editing seems to come […]

    About Night Call

    by
    Well this one is going to be short because there isn’t much out there on “Night Call.”  plays Gladys Cooper, plays Elva Keene and Nora Marlowe plays Margaret Phillips. It is based on an old urban legend about a woman who dies apparently because her dead husband calls from his crypt and tells her it’s her time, according to Snopes.com. I […]

    Reading “Night Call”

    by

    How to read Night Call

    All right the best way I see how to do this one is go tough each bullet in my notes and discuss them. I’ll do video first.

    Camera follows subject to show motion.

    This one is just how it sounds. Any time the main subject …

    911 Again…

    by
    Ok This is a repeat. My Twilight emergency maybe was featured on Jim Groom’s hosting of the 18th episode of ScottLo’s LoDown. I heard Jims thoughts and decided, I could definitely do this better. I had fun playing in audacity with this … Continue reading

    Radio Show Progress

    by
    I’m excited to have the bumpers done for radio show! Hopefully we’ll be done recording come tonight. This way we have Friday to edit and Saturday to do some finishing touches and finalization. I’ve gotten more used to Audacity so I’ve gotten a few ideas for the assignments this week just from fiddling around with ...

    The real phonetic news cast

    by
    The real remix assignment I found when was playing around on my tablet and found my original script for that other questionable assignment. This is much more deserving of a five star assignment. I recorded and edited this one in audacity. It took me a bit since I only played with effects I didn’t try to cut, ...

    Digital Safari

    by
    Hello and welcome to my Digital Safari. Today we will be exploring four elements of design that I have found simply by walking around. Now I know there are 10 main groups but we will be looking explicitly at four. Keep in mind that even though I’m only focusing on four more than one element ...

    Relax…

    by
    Assignment: Motivational Poster Here’s my motivation poster.  This was again done from scratch like most of my work. I did this one in the spirit of relaxation. In life we are always so busy most of the time we are so busy, we forget to stop and take a breather. “Life moves pretty fast. If ...

    Missing Glasses

    by
    This assignment was to create an Animated GIF associated with the Twilight Zone. I decided that what better way to torture Mr. Bemis if he never did find his glasses. This is precisely what this is a GIF of!

    May I take your order?

    by
    This one I figured would be just fun and silly. The assignment was to make an outrageous McDonald’s drive through order in an accent. I added the remix of “Uncle Bob.” It is all my own voice, first recording.

    Inflated Pigs

    by
    Here is one of my assignments for audio of my own creation.  It was inspired by ampersanddragon’s submission to “Punctuate like Victor Borge.”  Victor Borge also does a skit about inflationary language. I have altered the story of the three little pigs to accommodate inflationary language a bit more. It actually took me a long time to write ...

    Breadonian Fleet Terrorized

    by
    My Daily Create. I had problems reaching the website last night so I was forced to post it today after I woke up. It’s also my first audio response. ScottLo has been encouraging us to do one, and this seemed like the perfect assignment for it. This was inspired by John Johnson’s tdc499.     ...

    Week one Summary

    by
    Ok here goes. With all the media that we have reviewed over the week I’d say that the most important things to keep in mind is to be yourself, have an open mind, and try to jump in on the conversation. ScottLo’s podcasts were exceedingly helpful with just little basic things. It took a bit ...

    Michael Wesch

    by
    The crux of this one for me, once I got through it, was that we need to stop accepting the one way conversation. Really a one way conversation isn’t a conversation at all. There was a lot of information in this one and I understand if you have grievances for me picking one point but ...
