How long did it take you to learn how to create a movie. I feel like Thomas the Train. All I wanted to do is learn something about creating a movie. I finally figured it out. The only issue was that my video wasn’t really that great but I …
This is the story of a recent college graduate who had a most unfortunate experience when she tried to take cyber security in her own hands, causing her to nearly miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime.
Lizzie is a 22-year-old female who recently graduated from Hamburger University (HU), …
I named this the weakest week because I didn’t finish one of my assignments and rushed a little towards the end.
I really enjoyed the video editing lesson. I think my version of the Untamable Tamer turned out ok however I would have liked to add music to it too. …
I was inspired to create the Untamable Tamer because it looked like Charlie was trying to pick up a lady while he was locked in a cage. Who else would do that! I figured if I made it look like we wanted to be there and was using the lion …
I completed the assignment why so serious because it sounded really fun. I used a song about montages from Team America World Police and added it to the famous montage scene in Rocky. It’s spot on and really funny. The song is only 80 second long and the video clip …
Before I get into the details, make sure you read the actual story first! Check it out here.
Despite all of the late nights wrapping up work for this course, this final project made it all worth it. To be completely honest, this story isn’t really about Eric. It’s …
Wow. What a ride the past 8 weeks have been. And all that hard work has culminated here, in the DS 106 Final Project. It took me a long time to decide on my project idea. It’s funny – each idea I had I tried to frame it in …
One hot summer day, Eric, a student at the local state college, decided he needed some new excitement in his life. He had heard a lot of good things from his friends about a new video game for Xbox called Halo, so he decided to go buy it. Eric had …
For the past seven weeks, I’ve struggled with a topic to storify for my final project. My ideas have ranged from randomly simple (Gorillapod) to bewildering (DMV) to complex (Medicaid). Still, when I’ve tried to flush each of these out, nothing was sticking. During weeks …
Your final blog post for this class should include a link to your project and a discussion of at least 5 paragraphs that include the background information for your idea, a reflection on how your project fits the story spine, and media references, and details of how you produced it.…
I selected the 8 rules of fight club.
Video play by play:
The whole screen is very dark. Edward Norton is in the center of the screen but it’s as if he is hiding behind a wall to remain in the background of the image. He becomes more in focus …
I’m going to have a hard time disproving Ebert here so I won’t even try. I think the notion of that moving right is forward and favorable and left is in the past and less so is true in almost everything we do. A clock rotates to the right and …
I’m generally a fairly creative person but I was having trouble coming up with my big idea all semester. What can I say, I work well under pressure. I will milling through ideas and started thinking of things that would really draw people in, what we can all related to, …
This assignment was to create a kids computer book from a well known kids book. I chose Are you my mother? by Dr Seuss.
A new children’s book.
was by far the best assignment because I enjoy reading children books and want to know all about computers.
In the Washington DC metropolitan area there are several forms of public transportation including bus, rail, metro (train) and even a bike share program Each of the surrounding communities have their own form of transportation as well. Northern Virginia has a system called VRE (Virginia Railway express). While of …
I originally chose the windowfarms website as one of my second storification assignment http://cookiesuponwhichtomunch.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/week-2-storified-and-non-storified-content-part-deux/. Upon visiting the website, I was happy to see that the window farming project had grown and matured to the point where they had a …
Six months later it’s the same old story again and again…
Twelve months later the story has changed….
Wow, just think about it. Do you think that parents could really be blown away by the taste of a drink and forget about what their child may have done. As a parent. I don’t think so. This commercial for a new type of Pepsi called Pepsi Next was very …
What is a story? How do you tell it in a logical, compelling way? What are the different components of it? How can audio and video add (or subtract from it)? These were all questions that I started to ponder when I joined DS106. I felt like I had …
For my final project, I chose to tell the story of public health via Polly Public.
This was one of the ideas that came up over the course of the semester. I work with clients in the public health field and I know how hard working they are, yet …

Light can impact a picture. The angel of the light can cause shadows which can result in distortion of the object.
Can you guess the what object makes this shadow?
Click here for the answer Surprisingly up until the start of this class I was able to …
No one ever took pictures of me as a baby. Growing up, as the fifth of the six children in my family, I was the only one who did not have a baby picture. In fact the first picture of me was when I was 3 years old. Everyone else …
For this week’s storified content, I wanted to start to build on one of the ideas I had previously. I really like what I talked about last week, focusing on video game addiction (If you missed it, check it out here). I want to take this one step further …
This was another fun one for me–music videos can be some of the strangest films, even when the actual music is playing. Just like the actual song, a music video is often a piece of art and an artist’s expression in and of itself. That’s why I like this assignment …
