Ladies and Gentlemen here is our final project.  Yes it was a long time coming with a lot of hard work and dedication and a lot of scrapes and bruises but it has been completed.  It was actually kind of hard to edit and film everything and some of the camera and video stuff was ...

As the final project deadline approaches things are getting hectic here on the set of our longboarding video.  Footage has been shot and we just need to shoot some more stuff and then begin the final editing and polishing stage.  I think everyone is really going to like the video, you will see some familiar ...

Valerie, Marc, Robbie Coming up with this idea was actually funny because we were in class and watching YouTube videos when all of a sudden this dramatic music started playing ...

This article by Melanie McBride and this article by Brian Lamb both deal with the modern phenomena of mash-ups and remixes.  In todays modern society remixes are found everywhere from music to movie (music being my personal favorite) and are almost a day to day commonality in our society.  We can hear and see them ...

Espn A ha! I think this solves my problem.

Alright so I have never worked with html code before so as of right now here is a snapshot of the site I edited.  Still trying to figure stuff out and how to put everything else up on my blog.

Making this radio show was quite the interesting experience.  It was hard, exciting, thrilling, and frustrating at times.  I loved the topic we chose (Bonnaroo) and working with my group members was really easy because we all got along and worked well together.  Recording the show was fluid and we all had very good radio ...

To be frankly honest I didn’t like this book one bit.  I thought it made use of poor graphic novel techniques and was all over the place.  It wasn’t very organized until the last couple of pages and then it just wasn’t that interesting.  Yes it was informative and got the point across but it ...

I had never really heard of This American Life before this year when I walked into my roommate’s room and heard one the episodes playing on his radio.  I had always wanted to listen to one but never really got around to it or was never all to interested.  Today I listened to the episode ...

My friend Mrac and I were trying to think of good project ideas the other day and we came up with an idea that we think will work pretty well for us and will allow us integrate something that we love into it.  Him and I are both big into longboarding and making videos of ...

I was lost.  Nature was all around me with plans of letting me escape her grasp.  I had been stuck in this vast tropical forest going on two days now with no hope of escape in sight.  But then, salvation!  I stumble upon an old kayak on the bank of the river I had been ...

This was a very interesting article to me because recently I have been big into watching the show Rescue Me, which is about firefighters in New York City.

When reading these assignments I was hearing a lot of things that I had already learned or learned from last weeks reading.  It was all about how creating a digital story on the web is growing and how people are doing it.  The “Creative Commons” article was really interesting to me because I am also &hellip Continue reading »

Longboarding Gif I made my first Gif for my Digital Storytelling class and to tell the truth it was really hard.  It may of been more difficult than usual because I was working on a Mac, a lot of the programs I was trying to download weren’t working or were the wrong program altogether.  I ...
