For my first video assignment I decided to do the What’s your Skills assignment (4.5 stars). For this assignment you had to record or make a video of yourself showing

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Happy Novemeber! Hope you all had a great Halloween! Its feels like fall outside and its wonderful! I really enjoyed this week! I love working with video and it was a treat to edit the videos together. So here’s what I did this week: Comments: Maggie’s post If Samuel L. Jackson Were A Chipmunk Brittany’s […]

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 […]

Hello ladies and gentlemen! Once again, we have made it to the end of yet another week. This week was different from the last, and I hope you all enjoy this synopsis of the week. The Wire Way too much happened in these episodes, so I will cover the parts that I found the most […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

Week 10 has been jam-packed with stuff. I was a little overwhelmed by all the work but i managed to complete everything. Let’s just cut to it. Here’s everything i completed! Daily Creates: 2 Monday We were instructed to do 2 daily creates. I started early and on Monday i completed the “Signature Style” daily […]

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 […]

You GUYS. Video week was so. fun. This might have been my favorite week yet. There’s just a whole MESS of video editing software out there and after spending a week with it, I still feel like I BARELY touched… Continue Reading →

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 […]

Framed | Take a 2 minute video and go through the frames until you find the one that best represents the overall story of your video. 2 stars. For this Video assignment, I went ahead and used the same scene that I… Continue Reading →

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 […]

Video Assignment Bank Total of 10.5 stars Omar: Chipmunk Style I followed this great tutorial for the Chipmunk Style assignment (2.5 stars, but I think it should be 3 since it took me a while) Process I used MPEG stream clip to trim the scene that I wanted. I chose the one where Omar is… Read More

I really like how Syd brought these utensils to  life and give someone so simple a story line. Good job Original Post  

Activity Time Lapse | Make a time lapse video of you completing a project or activity. For example, it could be a building project, and art piece, doing laps in the swimming pool, or any other number of things. 3.5 stars.… Continue Reading →

I think Maggie nailed this assignment. I love the clip she put in the begining of Lester telling McNulty he sets fire to everything he touches because it’s so true. And then the songs and clips fit perfectly. Awesome job! Original Post

The Article. Roger Ebert’s How to Read a Movie also offered some very interesting perspective to viewing films. I really love the idea of watching a film as a class, and having anyone being allowed to call “STOP!” at a… Continue Reading →

Week 10 was a fun week of video assignments, inspirations, daily creates, and three more episodes of the Wire. I had to complete 10 stars worth of assignments for videos which ended up being three projects. My first project was a music video I created for an Ace of Base song. I put my own […]

I can thank my procrastination in other classes for my week of production in this class. Turns out that my avoidance of paper writing turned into doing extra work in DS106. I justified this by telling myself that I was … Continue reading →
