I completed the four star assignment Moving Object. The goal is to make a moving object using vine. I chose to make a stop motion video using my boots: Using the app Vine on my iPhone, I created the video seen above. The app vine gives us the option of recording a video of variable length […]

I completed the four and a half star assignment origami. While it directed us to create origami for halloween, I chose to create origami for my character instead. I haven’t created origami art for a while and figured it’d be some fun. I used this site to teach myself how to make an origami cowboy hat, which wasn’t […]

For this week we were assigned to do a video essay. What that is in short is watching a movie, picking scenes (or in this case picking A scene) and talking about the cinematography of said scene. We were given movie options and to my delight Django Unchained happened to be one of the options. … Continue reading Bye- Bye Brittle Bros.

I reviewed many articles about film analysis and the details on how films are created. As such, for this assignment we were to choose a scene in a film and analyze it and reflect on how certain aspects of the scene related to the new information we learned through our readings. The movie I chose … Continue reading Meanings Behind the Camera Shots

This week I made yet another meme. I have made many memes for this class. I also did an “Itch A Skitch” of a cowboy in a little town. Don’t shake your screen — you might erase it!

  My favorite thing  to do is play basketball. It has gotten me a lot of places and is even the

So, I tried, unsuccessfully, to get this map to embed. I eventually gave up and decided the best way to go about it was to just share via twitter and embed that. Even the tweet, sadly, does not display a thumbnail or anything. So, for this assignment, I made a story map with a twist. […]

For this assignment we had to pick our favorite hobby. So because I have a ton of hobbies, I wanted to do one that really fit me! So I decided to go with napping…. that is my favorite hobby. Im so busy in the weeks and I wake up very early, so I nap a … Continue reading "My Favorite Thing To Do"

In my bio/intro post I talk about my favorite thing to do which is lifting. For our assignments this week we were required to pick an assignment that was given to us and I decided to do my favorite hobby. And like I just said before, my hobby is literally walking to the gym and … Continue reading Watch my lift, now watch me…. lift again….

Today’s daily create challenge:  

So, for this assignment, I reviewed a plethora of the characters from fellow ds106ers and pulled out a couple that I thought I could get into their mind the best. I typified their personas a bit, but isn’t that the point of a buzzfeed quiz? I created 4 questions to try and prevent ties, but […]

So, this week, I listened to the various radio programs and tweeted along when I was available to do so. I am still bummed that I was on my way home from class when my program played. It would have been fun to listen to my work shared in such a way. I did read […]

So, of the radio programs I listened to this week, Tumbleweeds was the one that I was interested enough to reflect on. I like the approach that they took using the different perspectives to tell the story. Better than that, however, was the production value of their program. The music, the sound effects, the sudden […]

Week 9 was another good one. It was nice to have the work load taken off our shoulders a little bit, especially since we put so much effort in the radio show the previous 2 weeks. Speaking of the radio show, we had some great ones to listen to this week! I tuned into Turning Tumbleweeds and […]

Week 9 over! This was supposed to our relaxation week after creating our radio shows, and for the most part, it was. I got to listen to all the shows everyone created this week, and really enjoyed them. I went into detail about TombCast here. Our assignments for this week had to incorporate not only our … Continue reading Week 9 Summary

I’m writing my character’s point of view of an event that Kyle Masala is responsible and known for. While he was a bartender, legend says he ended bar fight by shooting the hats off of both of their heads. Luke, drifting from town to town, was lucky enough witness this unfold from the corner of … Continue reading Writing Assignment – Different Point Of View – Same Place

This week was a nice week in Digital Storytelling, there weren’t any challenging assignments and helped account for no stress. We got to

Listening to other people’s projects is always a fun thing to hear. To me this is my favorite part about group projects; listening

I’m finding it more and more difficult to manage my time properly regarding some of these assignments. I really struggled to find a radioshow time that I would be available to listen to, and in the end, I couldn’t coordinate with my schedule. That’s my own fault, and something I’ve been trying to work with … Continue reading "Week 9 Summary"

I chose to create a wanted poster for my character using mobilefish.com. I didn’t know what to do for her photo, considering Rose Oakley (at least to my knowledge!) isn’t a real individual, and therefore doesn’t have a photo I can use. I ended up finding a photo of an outlaw woman and using that as … Continue reading "Design Assignmnet – Most Wanted Poster (3)"

Rose Oakley Rose was an orphan. She never knew her family or their fate. She never cared to learn of them. She figured if they couldn’t be there for her then, they couldn’t be available to her any other part of her life. The orphanage was tough. It made her realize she couldn’t trust many … Continue reading "Writing Assignment – Your Character’s Past"
