For this assignment I debated about using the emotion “inspiring” since the songs I find that make me happy, pumped, or just plain emotional I find them to also be inspiring. So I decided to just go with happy to narrow it down. The first song is called Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic … Continue reading Happy music

Some people sprayed me the other day. It left a mark. They were chased away by flashing lights before they could finish. I enjoyed their company and I hope they will come back to visit me again. It was nice not feeling forgotten in this dark alley. Why were they chased off? Were they doing … Continue reading Nonhuman Perspective

At first I didn’t think I was going to enjoy this weeks topic on copyright, but I ended up really liking it. The articles I read were great along with the documentary.

This week I decided I would watch the 1984 movie “Splash” which I had never seen before.

I looked up … Continue reading Splash Mini Projects

I just read a great article by Austin Kleon. I absolutely love the idea of sharing your process with the world. I am one of those people who want to know the little details of what went into creating whatever is being created. We often dismiss the little things and only focus on the big … Continue reading Show Your Work

I really enjoyed this documentary and would say I have to agree. Regarding my earlier post on copyright, I did not realize at the time of writing (a couple hours ago) that copyright meant that companies and corporations were basically doing a complete lock down on anything of theirs. Which is hypocritical since they themselves … Continue reading Review of “Everything is a Remix”

I read through the article titled “How Mickey Mouse Keeps Changing Copyright Law” and I found it to be pretty interesting. Though the article doesn’t mention it, it makes me wonder if that is why Disney is remaking all of their movies to extend their copyright even more. Some may think it’s not fair, but … Continue reading Copyright and Digital Editing

I am a very visual person so I naturally gravitate towards movies. The 80’s movies that impacted me the most were the ones in the fantasy, sci-fi and horror genre. They intrigued and fascinated me and got me to wonder how these movies were created/constructed. Movies like Legend, Poltergeist, and Star Wars. These were the … Continue reading 1980’s Storytelling

When it comes to the 1980’s, I am drawn to the gadgets that emerged in that decade. Much of my childhood involved the VCR, NES and an off brand of the Walkman. 1980’s technology really did become a staple in our modern lives. Though now everything has been simplified to a smart phone. Here is … Continue reading 80’s Tech
