    Week 10: Video killed the Wire106’er

    by
    Man this week. Entering the double digits, and what feels like double work. Unfortunately, I was not able to meet the criteria of 10 stars of video assignments. I did manage to make an animated music video though, which I put a lot of work into. I also did my best to think critically about […]

    AMV’s? What is it, 2005?

    by
    Ah animated music videos. Brings back memories of my early teenage years. When I saw this was a possible video assignment, I just had to go for it. I used scenes from The Legend of Korra along with the brilliant song “The Beginning is the End is the Beginning” by Smashing Pumpkins. This song just […]

    Stealing Z’s

    by
    This weekend was very demanding for my family which is already over scheduled being that we have three college students in our household and one pursuing a career with the US Navy! When the TDC for today called for the best sleepy shot there was no difficulty in delivering. My husband, my oldest daughter, and […]

    Jack is Back

    by
    For Halloween I juggled my daughter’s US Navy Boot Camp Graduation with the festive colors associated with Halloween. With the TDC calling for a Halloween colour walk it was great that my husband had taken a photo of our own carving of Jack with lil Jack in his jaws; this would be the first image […]

    Look, Listen, Analyze

    by
    Hiya! For the Look, Listen, Analyze, portion of our assignments this week I wanted to incorporate an opening scene. I wanted to do this because when I first watch an episode its usually from the beginning. So the opening scene would be perfect! I decided to use episode 10 from season 3:   Look: So […]

    Please Rewind Your VHS Tape – Week 10

    by
    Well just to start off my title is just a throwback memory to when I would go to Blockbuster and rent a VHS then would go to watch and and would have to wait for it to rewind. I hated that so much. Maybe that is why Blockbuster went out of business…. Just Kidding. I […]

    Take Me To Australia

    by
    For the Where Do You Want To Go? assignment I created a video montage of pictures and video clips. I would love to go to Australia one day. After creating this assignment I decided to look into the cost of some of the things I would like to do if I go to Australia and let’s […]

    Fritz Lang’s M Reflection

    by
    So this is the first 7 minutes to Fritz Lang’s M, and I have to say I was thoroughly confused throughout the entire scene until the very end. Since it was in German, I was confused because I couldn’t fully understand what the dialogue was. I took German in high school so I knew partially what they […]

    The Mashup That Inspires

    by
    Another assignment that inspired me was Lauren Brumfield’s Trailer Mashup: Dishonor Creed. Her assignment turned out amazing. It is definitely worth 5 stars if not ore if that is possible. I originally was going to do a sports highlight mashup but when I started pulling clips together I realized how much time it was going […]

    Omar The Chipmunk

    by
    For this video assignment I completed Chipmunk Style. I accidentally used a scene from episode 11. I was just so into the show I just kept pushing next without realizing what I was watching. It was from the very beginning of the episode so it does not spoil anything big. I first downloaded the clip then […]

    In the Unlikely Event…

    by
    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/survival-video/ When I saw this assignment in the bank, my mind immediately began to think of a bunch of “highly unlikely moments.” Thankfully, I still had my computer up, and I’m now making use of a vimeo account (which apparently needs roughly about 40 minutes to compress a video). I rather enjoyed this one. So […]

    It’s Week Nine, Bust a Rhyme!

    by
    Here’s this week’s work! Making these videos was fun, but it was also a lot of work. Timing the audio with the visual was difficult. For some videos I had to use both Movie Maker and Audacity. A lot of work, but I think they turned out pretty well! Chipmunk Style 2.5 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 5 […]

    Chipmunk Style

    by
    So for the assignment Chipmunk Style (2 1/2 Stars), I decided to use the Paper Bag speech from season 3 episode 2 of the Wire. I decided to use this scene because it was a serious part of the season and I thought this would be an interesting take on this part! I saw Brittany’s […]

    Look, Listen, Analyze

    by
    Look The camera starts with showing a pair of shoes and slowly makes its way up until you can see it is Bubbles. He is sitting in the park. Camera view changes to see kids playing with bubbles (irony?) and a man biking. He straightens out his shirt. Bubbles watches the people walk around. He […]

    Looking, Listening, and Analyzing The Wire

    by
    After reading Ebert’s article on reading movies, I set out to analyze a selected short scene from The Wire, season 3, episode 8. Here, Stringer starts to build up financial connections through Senator Clay Davis. When it comes to the artform of cinematography, there are intentions behind both the design of visuals and audio. To […]

    I am YOU from the Future!

    by
    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/dear-sixteen-year-old-me/ Today I decided to leave some advice for myself, if I could send something to the past. Anyways, this video was made using the video recorder on my laptop (I’ve been experimenting with what works better for recording today). After I recorded, I used Window’s Media player to tweak the brightness and the saturation […]

    Look, Listen, Analyze – Season 3 Episode 8

    by
    While watching the beginning scene of Season 3 Episode 8 the camera work is very fast paced. Within the first minute there are multiple camera angle changes. The producer zoomed in on specific objects or actions and then would change the angle or the view to something else. One thing I noticed is the producer […]
