ds106advice     This week, I decided to explore the undercover agents that were working with The Directorate to expose our agency. The agents ended up being Agent Fawn and Agent Paul Bond. This project was a lot of fun but I spent a lot of time recording and planning the story line. I thought … Continue reading Final Mission

First, the mission that I am going to complete is Item 3. “Several agents were appear to have been interviewed by The Directorate. We have a report that they know who all of our agents are.

Intersting! We finally know what Professor Bonds favorite weapon is, the exploding rats. These rats are perfect for getting in to locked up places and in places a human can not get. What an intersting choice of weapon! Sorry I am late to the party. Here is my question, what is Professor Bonds favorite weapon?#DS106poll … Continue reading Daily Create Week 13

This week we had to do 12 stars of mashup assignments, make a “how to” post, and do 2 remixes. This week was probably the hardest one for me. I think that my creativity is headed down the drain as we near the end of the semester with a 10 page paper and projects hanging … Continue reading Week 12 Summary

I guess you could say Santa and I like the same holidays. I chose to put Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter all together. I used paint to do this and had to edit the backgrounds out from the turkey and bunny then I had to go into another paint doc and put them all together. Turned … Continue reading Holiday Mash-up

For my second remix I used an image from the assignment where I was asked to create a Pinterest board of somewhere I want to travel, which I picked Greece. My “Uncle Bob” recently went there to go open up a restaurant and he sent me a picture of him, so I put him in … Continue reading Remix #2- Uncle Bob

This was hilarious and fun! The first remix I had was to put Fonz from Happy Days in a assignment from previously. I chose to use the assignment from my very first assignment when you take a image from a movie and a quote and put it together. I did Gone With the Wind and Fonz … Continue reading Remix Assignment 1

Ever since I moved to Virginia, I fell in love with the hockey team, Washington Capitals, and the baseball team, Washington Nationals. I also kept some love for NY when I stick by the Buffalo Bills side. I still have to rep NY in VA. I used the Bills logo, and the two mascots for … Continue reading Mascot Mash-Up

This was lots and lots of fun! I had to pick two movies that were similar and create one mashup poster. I thought that the perfect two movies would be Cop Out and The Other Guys. This was the perfect combo in my head because they were both movies that had to do with buddies … Continue reading Movie Mash-up

First thing is first. You need to decide what movies are similar enough or have been compared to. For example the movies that I chose were Cop Out and Other Guys. They are both movies that are about cop buddies working together. Use this link to help you if you need it! Next, pick two … Continue reading How to: Create a Movie Mash-Up

Since I could not relate this particular assignment to my secret agent so I dedicated this one to our theme. The project was to get a picture of Talky Tina’s head, which required a lot of editing. Talky Tina, for those of you that do not know, it a talking doll from Twilight Zone. She … Continue reading 007 – Talky Tina

Another week of Video Assignments. I did 9 stars worth of character videos and 4 stars of another video assignment. I love making videos with iMovie and this gave me a good chance to use it again. I will miss making videos for this class. I also did 3 daily creates this week which were … Continue reading Week 11 Summary

Stars: 4.5 I am me. I am Agent Reveal. I decided to use pictures to describe who Agent Reveal is. This is similar to the “Who is Agent Reveal” assignment, but this time, I am talking about who she really is, more personal things with some awesome guitar riffs in the background!    

Stars: 4.5 Instead of doing a character description on a character from a movie, I decided to do my character, Agent Reveal. I used clips from movies to describe what I do through video. I thought this was a cool assignment and really allowed me to show who my character was through other movies.   … Continue reading Who is Agent Reveal?

Stars: 4 The movie that I decided to spoil was Passengers. I recently just watched it and after watching it I was disappointed. But, now that I reflect it was actually a really good movie. It was fun to guess why they woke up in the beginning and then become very shocked on why they … Continue reading Passangers Spoiler

This week was another fun one. I decided that instead of working in a group, that I would work alone since my schedule is so crazy and I have weird times to do things. I did 10 stars worth of assignments and I also did my video essay on Nancy Drew. This week I used … Continue reading Week 10 Summary

For this video essay, I decided that I was going to do it on Nancy Drew. She is probably one of my most favorite because she is so smart and is clever. For the essay portion I decided to focus on a lot of the techniques that were displayed in the Every Frame a Painting … Continue reading Video Essay : Nancy Drew

My name is Agent Reveal, here is my interview. I hope you feel like you know me better now…. Questions I answered: 1. Why is shaken better than stirred? 2. If I was being chased by a gorilla and I had to choose between running to a 7/11 or a manhole, which would I choose … Continue reading Agent Reveal Interview

Stars: 4 This assignment was probably the most challenging I have done. I did a similar assignment back in high school with power point. This time I used iMovie and it was challenging to line everything up perfectly. I think that if I were to do it over again, I wouldn’t do an acoustic version … Continue reading Lyric Video

Stars: 4 The toughest thing about his assignment was finding a good video to put music to. Then I remembered for the longest time, there was a Peacock Spider commercial on TV and remembered that they do a funny little dance. That is when I decided to put music to this video. I do not … Continue reading Animal Dance!

Stars: 3.5 This was a random and fun assignment. I found 5 random words of things that randomly came to mind, put some goofy free music from freesound.org and mashed it together. The hardest part was finding music that kinda fit the theme. I like this ...

What another great week. It was so cool to hear all the radio shows that were made in the pas two weeks. I did a critique of Sexpionage and just wrote down some of my thought on what could make it better and what was done well. I also tried to to the web remix … Continue reading Week 9 Summary

Since the images would not show up, I took some screen shots to show what I did. I have walked into stores many times knowing that they don’t have security systems. They are thousands of dollars. I see the signs hanging up and realize a lot of people probably think it is for real. So … Continue reading Web Remix of Amazon

The year is 1900. One of my favorite things to do is imagine what the future is like. Where cats are smarter than dogs. Maybe, even one day, a woman will run for president. But I am sure in the 2000’s a woman will hold much more power then we do now. She will make … Continue reading Daily Create Story- Week 9
