February 11, 2016

So for this assignment, we had to create a story using ONLY sound effects. At first, I was a little worried about it, but once I started thinking about it, I had a pretty good time. My original idea was kind of a horror but I adapted it to fit into my character Marlene’s story. … Continue reading "Marlene’s Bad Day"

The Story Behind the Story I chose the “When It’s Cold Outside” video project from the DS106 Video assignment list specifically because, rather humorously, despite being winter, it’s definitely not cold in Boulder at the moment. In fact, it’s not looking like it’s going to be for quite a while. This gave me not only […]

This assignment was so fun to do, and gave my friends and I all a good laugh.

I created this … Continue reading Drops of T.Swift

One of my favorite movies is Interstellar, this is in large part due to the soundtrack (and the visuals are pretty fantastic). While many critics have joked that the soundtrack is just Hans Zimmer falling … Continue reading "Audio Storytelling"
