I decided to do the Halloween Daily Create. First I had to figure out what color I was going to use, I definitely didn’t want to use orange because I felt that everyone is going to use the color orange. I thought about pink but then I thought about how a lot of times I […]

For my first video assignment, i decided to start off confident and do the “Musicless Music Video”. This was a little difficult for me. No music in a music video? Come on! That’s torture. So, let me show you exactly how i created my masterpiece. Video: My first step was to choose a music video. Wow, […]

Thoughts on the Opening of M Okay, I’m going to be quite honest and say that this took a couple of views to even understand what the heck was going on! The lack of English really killed it for me. That being said, I’m going to attempt to put my thoughts together and give you […]

http://www.dniepokoj.com/daily-create/evil-guinea-pig-and-fake-treats/ This one was just plain cruel! However, I could not stop from laughing at it. That dog looks so depressed that that is not a treat. I’ve seen some cruel stuff in my days, but this one was just great. I wonder if the dog actually fell for it though. Anyways, I’m inspired by […]

http://blogs.jessicareingold.com/ds106/daily-create/its-autumn/ So, I just got inspired today! I started looking through folk’s websites, when I stumbled upon this lovely little picture. To most people, this is just a tree. However, this inspired me to remember that awesome time of year called “Autumn.” Since I’ve been in college, the rest of the world is almost invisible […]

Lamar: What happened to all them towers? Brother Mouzone: Slow train comin’. Reform, Lamar. Reform. (from The Wire Episode Scripts) On Friday, Jim, Desa and I had a good conversation about episode 10 of season 3 of The Wire. We … Continue reading →

Today’s TDC was pretty fun! I decided to make a food tower that had support. It would have looked more like a cool pyramid, but the granola bars would not cooperate! Curse you granola!

I was very interested by the Ken Burns video, and the How to Read a Movie article. They will obviously help me with the video unit in this class, but I am also in the US History in Film class and we are working on our projects right now. Everything that Ken Burns was saying […]

I decided to do the Look, Listen, Analyze assignment on a scene from The Wire season 3, episode 9, when Prez shoots another cop. I thought it was a great scene because it is really intense, but doesn’t actually show him shooting the cop, so as a viewer you are not quite sure what happened, […]

As Colonel Nathan R. Jessup in the movie A Few Good Men once said, “You can’t handle the truth!” I...

***SPOILER ALERT***Attention:  If you have not seen Episode 11 in Season 3.  Don’t Watch my Video! *** This assignment is for “Return to the Silent Era”: Video Assignment 376 for 4.5 stars. Okay, you’ve been warned…  This is a silent movie made to display my favorite scene in Season Three’s Episode 11.  I titled this […]

In the spirit of Halloween although it has passed.   I thought it appropriate to create  a Michael Myers themed Cheeto Dude.  So I took a white background since Michael Myers has  a white face and positioned it along side a knife prop.  

The first inspire which I thought was really significant this week was the post that was posted by Ms. Allison Theot approximately one month ago…Allison used Edvard Munch’s “Scream,” to interpret one of the dramatic moments in Season 6 of the Wire where Stringer Bell’s gang is caught up in a street gun battle which …

The artist behind this piece, Kaileyck, is in Jennifer Polock’s section of ds106 this semester. I’ve been following her work through Twitter thanks to the #ds106 hashtag, and I’ve become a fan of her art. Here minimalist poster of The X-Files … Continue reading →

I had a rather spooky LEGO Halloween picture. Hope you all enjoy it! I tried to focus on the color black. It turned out rather well. Anyways, hope you all have a Happy Halloween!

In this Wire 106 video discussion, Paul Bond and I were joined by Ien Harris,  Maggie Stough and Melinda Albrycht to look at season 3, episode 8 of the The Wire: “Moral Midgetry.” This episode stands out for many reasons, but none … Continue reading →

I chose to do the Musicless Video assignment (worth 3.5 stars), but instead of just watching a music video without sound (which anyone can do by simply muting there computer) I added in audio from a different video. I chose Beyonce because she has all these crazy, fabulous dance moves that look great when it… Read More

Today’s Daily Create was to make a photo montage featuring a theme color.  It was easy to find orange everywhere around me on Halloween, and since this was supposed to be scary I chose the most terrifying image of all:  Two sugared-up 7-year-olds on Halloween.  EEEEEK!

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 talking about how he almost got an old woman killed… Read More

The scene that stood out to me the most this week was the ending scene in Episode 8 where Avon and Stringer fight.   1. Analyze the camera work When the volume is off and you are just watching, the camera work such as the angles become so much more apparent. Here the focus is on Avon, showing he has

Here is a video that inspired me. You can locate the original here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZIb-ghz5b8 This video was so inspiring to me because it make the song have a completely different feel by just adding images/videos of The Wire in it. I love how well put together the video is, all the scenes flow very well together. The scenes even seemed

For this assignment a public service announcement was created. I had a lot of trouble thinking of what to do for this one. So a friend gave me the idea of creating it with this cow video. Process: I searched for this cow video that I saw a while ago with the running and jumping in the fields. I then

For this assignment, I took related clips from The Wire and put them together. Of course when I thought of something that reoccured in The Wire throughout all season is the game.  So here, I focused on people talking about the game. Process: I searched for youtube clips to upload into iMovie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW12BT9pYEw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cryMVK1PwuQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwogM2DL99o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaA0nmn8_fk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSXm4FUmE5g I then uploaded

I personally enjoyed how clip was in black and white, it really changes the vibes it gives off. The clock seemed to portray tension, for example, when the clock went off at noon in the house, as well as in other places, all the focus was solely on the noise the clock made. Then the focus came to a poster,

This assignment was to create a 5 second frame. Here I created a film, debuting my dogs! One thing my parents do not like that I do with them, is feed them human food. One day at dinner, I told my parents I taught them to eat corn off the cob. They didn’t believe me, so we proved it! Process:

To provide tension, Lang shows the importance of time. We see the mother look up at the clock when it is noon and we know that something is important at noon. Then we see the little girl from the beginning coming back from school. We can infer she is on her way her home since […]

Lucky for me, someone has already uploaded the scene I wanted to analyze onto Youtube, so you can watch the scene here: 1. Analysis of the camera work: The scene begins with Dennis looking up at the city government building. He looks tiny compared to the building, and I believe that is intentional since he is […]

TDC1027: Take a Halloween Color Walk! My collage consists of shades of orange since it is Halloween. In the collage yo see flowers my boyfriend got me, my indoor pumpkins, the card my mom made for me, and the flame string lights we have hanging up in o...

I loved Lauren’s mashup trailer for Dishonored Creed. She took two video trailers and combined them into what looks to be a really fantastic game. I don’t play video games very much since I’m not very good at them, but I do love seeing how the trailer for the games are getting more and more […]
