The Future of The Ruckus
by Eric Schmieg April 28, 2011After much deliberation, I’ve decided to keep my blog as is. Over the semester, I haven’t been very good about blogging my thoughts or opinions. Mostly I’ve just submitted assignments for ds106. Well, I’m about to enter the “real world,” … Continue reading → -
Dear Future DS106er:
My biggest piece of advice for this class would be to take pride in your work. I’ve put varying degrees of effort into different assignments throughout the semester, and always ended up being happiest with the work that really pushed … Continue reading → -
Final GIFs
I made some GIFs from the movie “There Will Be Blood.” As a geology major, this movie is particularly awesome for me. Some of these came out better than others, but I hope you enjoy them. The blood of the … Continue reading → -
Fandom?
This is what I ended up doing for my fandom assignment. I’m not sure if this even qualifies as fandom, and if it does, whether it makes me a fan of the Clan or chemistry, but I’ve wanted to do … Continue reading → -
Apocalypse Without a Paddle
For my mashup assignment, I used scenes from “Apocalypse Now” and the audio to the “Without a Paddle” trailer to make the former into a fun movie about three friends who go on an adventure. I had a few problems … Continue reading → -
Mashups ‘n’ Stuff
I wanted to share a few of my favorite mash-ups/remixes that I’ve found online. My favorite by far is a “remix” of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by a DJ named Brad Neely. Called “Wizard People, Dear Reader”, it’s … Continue reading → -
2001: A Space Odyssey Gif’s
So it took me long enough, but I finally made some new movie GIFs. This time, I did Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Naturally, I like some more than others. The electronic shots (Hal, flashing lights) lend themselves really … Continue reading → -
Minimalist Travel Poster
I decided to do a slight variation on the minimalist travel poster assignment. Instead of doing a travel destination, I decided to do a concert event. I created a minimalist concert poster for Plavalaguna, the tentacled blue diva in the … Continue reading → -
Video Essay: The Fellowship of the Rings
For my video essay, I did a character analysis of Gandalf the Grey, one of the main characters in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I focused only on the first episode in the trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring. … Continue reading → -
Response to Praxis and Dr. Mashup Essays
These two articles really helped open my eyes to the true possibilities of mash-ups in education, as well as the problems faced by educators trying to implement them. The first article, “Praxis 2: Escaping the edu-travelogue” focused mostly on the … Continue reading → -
Webstory – Drudge Report (Not Wash Post)
So originally I was hoping to edit up the Washington Post, but it ended up being too fraught with technology I don’t understand, and I couldn’t get the images to come out right. I decided to do the Drudge Report … Continue reading → -
Firebug Project
I like to read the online Washington Post in the morning while eating breakfast. Recently, there’s been a lot of pretty bad stuff happening in the world, and today there wasn’t a single headline with good news. I’ve decided that … Continue reading → -
Final Project – GIFs!
by Eric Schmieg March 15, 2011For my final project, I want to do some more creating and experimenting with different kind of GIFs. I’ve already done a couple movies, and I intend to do more of those, but I also want to mess around with … Continue reading → -
Eraserhead GIFs
I’ve made some more animated GIFs from David Lynch’s “Eraserhead.” Originally, I wanted to try to capture the “plot” of the movie, but since the plot is fairly non-linear, and there are some key images I frankly don’t want to … Continue reading → -
Eraserhead GIF – First of many
I watched David Lynch’s “Eraserhead” tonight and decided to try to make a few GIFs from it. This is my first of a series that will hopefully be able to convey the movie somewhat. I used the same program as … Continue reading → -
Seven Samurai GIF – Redux
This is my second attempt (long overdue) at making a gif for the movie “Seven Samurai”. I loaded a bunch of screenshots into a program I downloaded called “GIFfun” that pretty much did the rest. This one is a little … Continue reading → -
Audio Story – The Second Act
We went ahead and added a second act to our audio story. In this half of the story, our protagonist makes his way home from on a beautiful day and pours himself a refreshing drink. Audio assignment 1 Freesound Credits: … Continue reading → -
The Hottest New Album!
After Brazilian musician Chico Rei’s highly publicized nervous breakdown in an Atlantic City Waffle House in late ’08, many music critics speculated that the flamboyant artist’s career was finished. Now, after months of self-imposed seclusion in his alpine fortress, the … Continue reading → -
Seven Samurai GIF – First Attempt
This is my first attempt at making a gif from a movie – obviously I still have a lot to learn, but I’m happy that I got it to work at all. The movie is Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai.” The … Continue reading → -

Framing with a doorway

The coolest power plug I could find
This power plug assignment was pretty tough. I couldn’t find any way to get creative with them. This one looked pretty interesting, though, so I used it. -
Colors!
The day we were supposed to take pictures with color, it was pretty awful outside, so there weren’t a lot of great colors. The rain did bring out the color on this bark, though, so I used it. The form … Continue reading → -
Photo with Depth and Dimension
Assignment: Take a photo that gives a sense of depth or dimension. -
Low Horizons
Here’s my shot with a low horizon. I spent most of the day taking pictures of trees, but couldn’t find anything that really struck me. I liked the repetition with these houses, so I decided to use them instead. -
Today’s News: We’re Gonna Be OK!
Assignment: Shoot something newsworthy. I decided to go ahead and give everyone the news we’ve all been waiting to hear: Everything is going to be OK. This little guy is doing all right for himself, and everyone else is going … Continue reading → -
Filling the Frame with Repetition
I didn’t have a camera yesterday, so I didn’t get to start on the Daily Shoot until today. I did like yesterday’s prompt, however (repetition), so I decided to combine today’s theme with that. I wanted to use something small … Continue reading → -
Random acts of kindness
When the topic of Wikipedia came up in class today, I immediately thought of this video, and I wanted to share it with everyone*. It’s a little long, but I found it well worth the time. <iframe title=”YouTube video player” … Continue reading → -
Why so reluctant?
Gardner Campbell’s talk struck a nerve in me when he tried to figure out why people are so reluctant to imagine and explore new possibilities in the cyberinfrastructure. Like most people, I was most impressed by the short “bag of … Continue reading →
