I did today’s Daily Create, which was to create a geeky magnet poem.

  This is the Sports Mashup video (worth 3 1/2 points) I created by taking video clips of some of my favorite moments in sports and splicing them together in iMovie. These aren’t the “typical” sports clips showing professional athletes … Continue reading →

One of the more memorable scenes from early on in The Wire is of Bunk and McNulty at the cold crime scene in the apartment where they only say “fuck.” I love it, and think it’s a great, humorous scene. When I saw the That Bleeping Censor assignment, I thought it … Continue reading

Daily Create | Make a photo. I thought the description for today’s daily create was a bit vague, so I decided to add my own twist to it by taking a frame from Interstellar and then adding a powerful line to the… Continue Reading →

This daily create was a bit vague, so I borrowed a small mirror, and played around with a light ring and my phone’s camera lens.  This is a picture of my phone’s camera lens, from a mirror reflection, under my LED halo lamp.  The light ring of the lamp looks like a halo above the […]

My final daily create of the week was indeed creative! I completed the “We have so much to take in that we forget to look in”. I was actually confused with this (like always) so i looked at the examples. I guess we just have to create our own photo? A while back my friend […]

For my video essay, I decided to look at The Wire as a primary source. I am Dr. McClurken’s U.S. History in Film class, and one of the things we do is look at the movies we watch as primary sources. We discuss what a movie can tell us about when it was made. For […]

The Idea A couple of weeks ago, one of my professors showed us a video of two bears fighting in a neighborhood in New Jersey. It’s a pretty tense thing to watch, and you can tell from their body language that this fight is a matter of dominance. When I … Continue reading

For my Second Daily Create I decided to do the Safe Haven assignment. I really liked this assignment. I have to say that this week has had the best Daily Create this week. For this assignment I decided to do three different safe havens, the first one I decided to put was my bed. I […]

In this Wire 106 video discussion, Paul Bond and I were joined by Brittany Scites to look at season 3, episode 12 of the The Wire: “Mission Accomplished.” This episode pushes home the season-long allegory that parallels the politics behind the War on Drugs with … Continue reading →

Heads up: The S03E10 discussion has been posted, but Google has muted the audio making it useless. In this Wire 106 video discussion, Paul Bond and I were joined by Amy Wallace to look at season 3, episode 11 of the The Wire: “Middle … Continue reading →

For the second TDC of the week I chose Safe Havens as I definitely need to seek refuse in one of the three I look to when the rough gets going. Video is all the way turned up here for the last two weeks and so is my blood pressure! What I wouldn’t do for […]

Today’s daily create was to take a picture of our safe havens, or our place we like to go to get away from it all and relax. I decided to do something a little different and utilize a different sort of artform, video games. I took some photos of my farm on World of Warcraft. […]

Today’s Daily Create – my safe haven is my favorite reading chair and my favorite fantasy books

Jon’s Sound Map Since it was my day off, I did a sound map of me and the wife at home.  I used Microsoft Paint because I felt it was a quick venue for me to express what I was hearing quickly and in my own drawing. I uploaded this to flickr, I mostly tried …

For my first video assignment of the week, i went with an assignment i felt confident completing. What caught my eye was the “Vine It” assignment. I’m a serious lover of Vine. It’s so fun to create 6 second videos. What i really enjoy about Vining is the creativity of it all. Some people find […]

For my first daily create of the week, i chose the “Make a sound Map” assignment.” To be honest, i’m really not familiar with sound maps. I actually thought we had to record something for this daily create, before reading it of course! I rumbled around my friend’s house and looked for some cardboard. Thank […]

I like how almost everything in this shot is some kind of neutral color. Prez’s statement about football is really interesting and I enjoy that it applies to the game we’ve been watching be played in this series. We finally get to see Prez’s house and wife! Look at that … Continue reading

I did today’s Daily Create, which was to create a sound map.

Movie Trailer Mash-Ups The next assignment which I choose was to mash-up two distinct movies via the Mash-Up Trailer Assignment which was worth 5 Stars. I choose the movie trailer from the 1980’s original Footloose and I also choose a scene out of the Wayne’s Brothers comedy White Chicks                                                         I choose to play off …

For my first video assignment, I choose the assignment entitled Return to the Silent Era this assignment was worth 4 1/2 stars.   I enjoyed this one because it allowed me to get creative and choose a throw back movie, one of my horror favorites “Child’s Play 2.” It is amazing to how reducing the sound …

The my favorite trip assignment was a lot of fun to make! It made me very nostalgic for the summertime. I searched through pictures from the past four summers and put them together. Luckily, I found some videos to throw in too! Next, I chose songs to go along with it. I put the whole […]

For today’s daily create I made a tape sculpture of a vitamin box. I never take my vitamins so I figured they were more useful for this project than anything else.

  For the video essay assignment I really wanted to do my commentary on episode 11 of season 3 because it is my favorite episode thus far. Stringer is one of the most interesting characters and his attempt to rise above the gangster world and enter the business world and the resulting fall is so sad, […]

Daily Create | Create a small, large or very large tape sculpture or sculptures… I added some text on the photo to help you out in case you couldn’t exactly “see” it. I don’t know why you wouldn’t though, its pretty… Continue Reading →

For my first video assignment this week I decided to start out easy. I did “It’s Vacation Time” (2 stars). I chose this not because I had a favorite vacation but because I love going back and looking at vacation pictures and making a video is an easy way to do that. I love all […]

I did yesterday’s daily create, “Take us an experimental water photo.” I thought about it all day because I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to take a splashing one but I didn’t know how or where. Then I remembered that I have some vases that I could use and […]
