I can’t believe it’s over…GOOD THING I’M KEEPING MY WEBSITE! Yep, I will definitely be hangin with the hippie hostin. Importing and exporting my blog was simple, but now I have to transfer my site to Hippie Hosting.  I’ll do that after I have posted my final post…for now. My blog is all organized by ...

Well, here it is. My still frame music video that goes with this song I made. It’s not so still though.  I added video because, well, i didn’t have enough pictures. Still frame videography is hard!! Mainly because you have to put so many pictures in the right order and make sure you capture the ...

Everything is a remix. That’s why you always hear people saying nothing is original anymore.  The first video represented remixing in the music world and exemplified it through rock band stealing folk music.  Well, folks, this is not the first time this has happened.  Many composers have taken tunes from others and morphed it into ...

This assignment stemmed from the DS106 radio show project.  When we had to make commercials I decided to make a jingle instead for my favorite cafe.  Here is the assignment: Create a short jingle using at least two instruments (recorded or software).  It can be for a fictional or real product or place. Here is ...

Yes, The PROJECT is coming along nicely.  I’ll probably call it “the ocean” when everything is finished, but as for now it will be titleless. I have just about finished the song for my music video and I am moving on to the video part.  The brainstorming stage is almost over.  I have a cute, ...

This was a fun remix that required me to make an assignment really cheesy, in this case a ringtone assignment.  I chose to use one by erinrougeux because she used sounds rather than splicing a song.  It made for a more original work and gave me a bit more room for creativity.  With some of ...

Well, this tutorial is actually for my grandma because she has been meaning to order a photo book off shutterfly and it just hasn’t worked out. I used jing, but while I was recording I forgot that you only have 5 minutes so I decided to just make it as long as I needed…which turned ...

This assignment is a bit peculiar because no movies have really changed my life, however there are a few that fave boggled my mind, made me cry, and have to think twice about what I saw.

For this awesome video assignment I chose to swede parts of The Hunger Games. I figured it would be good to do since I had kid cousins visiting. First, I decided what scenes we could actually do with who was available.  I had to change the cornucopia line from Hamage to Cinna and then made ...

I chose Ever After for my video essay.  I really like this movie and this assignment helped me notice many technical developments within the filming. Roger Ebert’s essay on reading movies made sense to me and I like how the different positions that the characters take can determine the negative and positive outcome.  In Ever ...

I picked a well known scene from the Matrix for this redub assignmnet. It is about the worst redub ever. Here is the gay date version of the red pill/blue pill scene.  If that’s not twisting the plot then I don’t know what is.  I wrote a mini script for this scene and then gave ...

Here is a remix of the the opening credits to The Waterboy starring Adam Sandler and directed by Frank Coraci.  Looking back on my pre-production post I would have prepared for this cred redux differently.  The equipment was hard to find on google images, although I guess I could have just gotten stills from the ...

This was a follow-up to my pre-production blog last week and I think it is probably about 3/4ths successful. First of all, I totally missed that the trailer was supposed to be between 3 and 5 min.  I’m putting it up anyways because it was a good learning experience and I am semi ok with ...

I would change the trailer for 21 by Robert Luketic. It would be b&w and have floating text/cards. The music would be a mellow jazz tune. At the beginning text would appear as “How much?” and then a card with the equation would be shown before and after Jim Sturgess talks. (0:34) Next, would be ...

I would redo the opening credits The Waterboy starring Adam Sandler.  Instead of strating out on the field, I would show closeups of the equipment that Sandler wears at his job.  I think it would be funny to see him pridefully setting up his gear and putting it on and then the second he walks ...
