For this assignment I was tasked with remixing photographs by Jonathan Worth. While I’m not quite sure if a video was meant for this assignment, I went for it anyway. I was at a complete blank as to what I should do, so I went with what I feel most comfortable with, iMovie. I downloaded ...

So, it’s the end of the semester, and Alan wanted to go on vacation!  We were supposed to use Mozilla Popcorn Maker to to add 8 things to remix his already created video. An unusual image or video on the ...

(Some how this got posted after my weekly summary.  I had some issues getting my audio to upload to soundcloud.  Sorry for any confusion!) To start off this week we had to look at what remix even was (I promise … Continue reading →

Man let me tell you that I certainly do not miss the daily creates. Like at all. Something that we had to do throughout the semester was submit two different ideas for Daily Creates. One of which of mine got published! I decided that one of my daily creates was to “Take a picture of (continue reading...)

Long weeks.  Lots of other work.  Finally done with this stuff. Here’s me talking about remixes with my roommate, who also has taken this class. Here’s the popcorn assignment that was a total pain. Recycled Media Project.  Fun, but tough ...

Gosh it seems like all that I want is to go to the beach. Probably because I am a total Jersey girl, and I am constantly craving the beach at all seasons. But that is besides the point. This assignment that I created is all about improving vocabulary. As a future teacher I wanted to (continue reading...)

Ugh. These past two weeks have been rough. I understand what remixing is and how to do it, but I really struggled with having to define it and having to do things that I think are just… normal. Isn’t this what we’ve been doing all semester? Remixing pop culture, other people’s photos, other people’s ideas ...

So this weeks tasks are remixing.  But what exactly is a remix? In short form, a remix can be anything and everything.  According to Remix Manifesto and Everything is a Remix, literally everything invented in a Modern Era has been ...

For Remix week, I looked at a few references on what remixing is. Below is a video of me trying to explain it to my roommate! I also looked at a few examples of remixes. Buffy vs. Edward The first example I looked at was the Buffy vs. Edward remix. Holy cow. Yeaaa. I’ll try ...

This is the last week of DS106 before our final project is due.  Crazy how fast all of this flew by. Whats a remix?  Check it out here! Time for vacation at the Hockey Hall of Fame! http://popcorn.webmadecontent.org/zjf It was interesting to go through other people’s recycled pieces and making …

These past two weeks have focused on Remixes and Mashups.  I did not know exactly what these were at first, but some reading and examples helped me out: Everything is a Remix is a four part series by Kirby Ferguson and also RiP: A Remix Manifesto a documentary by Brett Gaylor on remix …

I CANNOT believe that we have officially finished our last form of media.  It blows my mind that it is already the end of the semester (and the end of my time in college).  Here is what happened during the … Continue reading →

For my second assignment that I created I made a remix assignment.  While going though the assignments for remix I found myself wishing that there were more.  I made a note to myself that I needed to create one for … Continue reading →

The most challenging assignment of the week: For the Remix! I don’t like physical/3D art. Let me just put that out there. I don’t get it. My roommate is in a Studio Art course, and I don’t get anything she does. So, that was off the table. I downloaded the photos from the wordpress site and ...

For the end of the semester we had to come up with two possible ideas for assignments for future ds106 students.  Here are the two that I came up with: 1. A Changing Character (Remix)- When going though the remix … Continue reading →

THE END IS UPON US… But the fun is not over just yet. Of course we couldn’t just leave the final weeks of DS106 without some memories of mashingup and remixing some crazy things. Generally, I pour out my emotions at the end of my summary posts but since DS106 is coming to an end, ...

For this assignment, we had to redub over some voices from a show, movie scene, etc. and I chose Spongebob.  I don’t know why, I hated Spongebob as a kid and still don’t like him.  I guess I just thought ...

For the movie trailer mashup I did Despicable Me with the Ring two as sound and I used window movie maker to combine them.

I got this idea from Alan’s example for our final projects. I couldn’t find an assignment for it… so I made my own! The task: Build a Pinterest page of at least 20 pins for a character of your choice. Search for pins that relate to your character and things that he or she would ...

These two weeks have been interesting. Not necessarily my favorite, but I made the best of it, and tweaked assignments and ideas to my liking.  Hey, at least I made it out alive. Re-mix makes me think of techno, house music, and an old Club DJ boyfriend I had a hundred and 37 years ago.  ...

I did the assignment Actor Transformation I did Miley Cyrus and I wanted to show how her singing changed form something that kids want to here and to something that would make kids want to run away. I used the Bone song from Hannah Montana the show and then I also used Can’t be Tamed. All I ...

 Mashup 2 (four star’s!): The final finale of stars, and all the glory they hold! For my final star assignment, I did as I usually do and i had fun with it! I decided to the Actors Transformation assignment, which involves picking an actor and making a video that shows their careers as they grow older. ...

It’s the last time we will ever do stars, fellow DS106ers. How bittersweet. For my two mashup assignments, I decided to have as much fun as possible with them BUT to also make sure I really get my points across while making some sort of impression on DS106 as a whole.  Mashup #1(four star’s!): For ...

 Ahh.. …nothing can my true enthusiasm for being done with this assignment which involved Sending Alan on a Trip.  Sorry Alan, but this was probably the most frustrating part of DS106, for the following reasons. There was no way to shorten durations of clips. While you could make it longer, mine didn’t give the chance ...

One of our final ds106 assignments was to make up two of our own assignments.  For my first one I actually decided to use an assignment that I had already kind of made up previously.  Back in design week I … Continue reading →

For one of the assignments that I submitted for the assignment bank was the 10-Step Photo Challenge. I saw this on a site once and thought it was a great idea for an assignment. The task:  Take ten steps in any direction and with each step take one photo. Think about angles and lighting to ...

For this assignment we had to take a photo from a series of photographs taken by Jonathan Worth of author Cory Doctorow and remix them.   The photos were found here and we were encouraged to draw ideas from the themes and topics … Continue reading →

I decided to make a easy tutorial to turn any photo into a cartoon, or comic style image. I used Photoshop CS6, but I’m pretty sure the steps are similar in most recent pS editions. 1.  Open an image File>Open>choose the image 2.  Convert it to Black and White Image>Adjustments>Black and White>make any customizations you ...

For my remix this assignment I got Where did the soda go mixed with play it backward and I thought that it meant to find someones GIF and make it backwards so that is what I did. I went and found someones GIF. I split the GIF using a GIF splitter and I reversed the ...

For the recycle the objects from before I found it very difficult because at first I did not know what to do or what type of story line I should go with. So therefore I just went on and downloaded everything I could possibly find. Until I got to a mutated animal and then it hit me ...
