by @CRLunn

| finalproject, Syndicated, WeeklySummary
April 24, 2020

For my final project, I am putting a modern spin on one of my favorite scenes in 80’s cinematic history. While I love the iconic boombox scene in “Say Anything” it is admittedly dated and a little trespass-ey So I have recreated the scene and brought it up to the year 2020. The story will …

April 10, 2020

I’m pretty sure I did this assignment originally but according to my Control Panel I have 54 posts and I don’t think I have the energy to go through them all to check. So the original assignment prompted the blogger to create a collage that represents them self using words and images but when I …

To wrap up my 10 stars worth of Video Assignments I decided to have some fun with the “Sardonic Tour” assignment. Due to being quarantined I thought it would be funny to do it MTV “Cribs” style. I’m older so if you haven’t seen an episode you can find one here to get the idea. …

One of my favorite childhood memories was when my dad would surprise my brother and I with homemade stop motion videos that he had made when we were sleeping. For me it was interviews with my Barbie’s and my brother got stop motion dinosaur movies. I now have a deep appreciation for what my dad …

Admittedly, I cheated a little here but for good reason! I made this documentary a few semesters ago when I took Jesse Stommel’s Digital Documentary course. Frankly, I worked my ass off on it an I am very proud of the final work so I thought I would share it here to do double duty. …

March 20, 2020

One of my favorite things to do is watch movies or T.V. shows from decades gone by and assess how they would be different if they had modern day technology. For example, a number of years ago I was watching Stephen King’s Cujo at Halloween when my 9 year old stepson came in and joined …

Contradiction Creation

by @CRLunn

| DesginAssignments2075, designassignments, Syndicated
February 20, 2020

For this Design Assignment I was asked to create a “poster” with a contradictory quote on it. The first step was to find a graphic – I chose a beautiful image of the beach then I needed to add text that completely contradicted the image. Originally I considered “Animals Poop Here” because my best friend …

February 18, 2020

This was another assignment that Professor Bond suggest we do; it asked me to to suggest a story using only 4 basic icons. I decided to use the class theme for this assignment and quickly whipped up a list of my favorite 80’s movies. I began to brainstorm icon ideas for The Shining, The breakfast …

So in case you missed it another teaser trailer dropped for Stranger Things session 4 today. You can watch it here! I’m obsessed with Stranger Things because I love the 80’s music and “lingo”. I don’t have any clear ideas for a radio show just yet but I love the idea of channeling Stranger Things …

This week we focused on Audio Assignments which is definitely out of my wheel house. I downloaded and played extensively with Audacity which was very user friendly and intuitive.

Auditory Hell

February 14, 2020

This was a pretty straight forward Audio Assignment: “Create YOUR worst sound ever. Take audio clips of every single sound that you hate and put them all together to make The Worst Noise Ever. ” Obviously, there is only one answer here…NAILS. ON. CHALKBOARDS. So I downloaded 3 different audio clips from freesound.org of nails …

The purpose of this blog is to provide insight into our thought process when creating our content for this course so I suppose I should be honest, I did not enjoy this assignment. I hate recording my own voice, it’s just so cringy! But I did it and I plan to tackle another Audio Assignment …

Moon Graffiti & ds106 radio reflection

February 13, 2020

This week we listened to “Moon Graffiti” and our choice of ds106 radio (I chose to tune in Thursday). Both of these stories were fascinating to listen to and the experience was only amplified by the lack of visual. Both stories were terrifying for very different reasons (the thought of dying on the moon and …

I knew I needed to do this Audio Assignment because it asked me to create my own layered relaxation sound track. I love ASMR and use a sound app to fall asleep so I really loved this challenge. I pondered what layered sounds I would want to hear to relax and decided on some soothing …

This particular assignment involved splicing a pair of pictures together to make one single image, however, I took my own artistic liberties and ran with this assignment.

Ahhh, another weepy writing assignment. This prompt asked me to write a letter to myself 10 years in the future which was rather emotional for me. It’s difficult to truly imagine where my life will take me in the next year so I kept my letter very vague. At the very core of it, I …

Let me begin this by saying that I haven’t written a haiku since probably 5th grade and I admittedly had to Google “syllables” just to make sure I was doing this correctly. I’m not proud but 5th grade was a long time ago… But moving on my from how old and dumb I am….It took …

The 80’s and Today

January 17, 2020

Maybe it’s because I am a product of the 80’s but I think it is one of the best generations in terms of films, music, television and fashion! Fashion was often unisex, and the line of gender was beginning to blur (Grace Jones, David Bowie and Prince are just a few examples of this. Feminism …
