I had fun with this chipmunk style assignment. I chose a scene from episode 8 where the techie guy is joking around with his computer abilities. I thought it was one of the lighter moments in the season so I downloaded the video, cut it down to the scene I wanted on Mpeg Streamclip and then […]

I really like the idea of making a film or show stop action in order to look more closely at certain aspects. Bringing up Hitchcock is the best example ever for this because there is so much in Hitchcock’s works. He makes a story with only black and white that manage to chill me more […]

I made this video for the “Where do you want to go” assignment. I loved doing this assignment because all I want to do is travel. I have been so lucky in my life to have gone to many different places: Italy, Spain, England, Wales, etc. etc. My parents provided me with a worldy education […]

Jessica Claire Reingold October 27, 2014 I think I got lucky with my name…or maybe my mom is just really good with words….see my name, my first and middle name at least, flow nicely. Apparently I’m named after my aunt since her name started with a J and one of my grandma’s aunts who was […]

For my second assignment I did the musicless music video assignment. I don’t watch music videos often, so I told my friend he could choose for me. This is the result of a very dramatic music video by Lindsay Lohan and my cruel humor combined. I tried to make it interesting and had a little […]

Film week was pretty cool, but was a lot of work. I started off the week looking at Ken Burns’ video on inspiration and video storytelling. I really liked this video and posted about how his words translated to me as a journalist, and other aspects of storytelling. Then I watched Fritz Lang’s very creepy first […]

This is my healthy vine challenge where I took two second videos of chicken, salad and guacamole. I chose this assignment because I had already planned a nice dinner because my mother and sister were visiting me at school. I was excited to make dinner for them and had to make it healthy for fear of […]

Red, Yellow, & Blue Red tie, blue shirt, and yellow poster. Blue walls with red & yellow posters. Red hat, yellow tie, blue shirt. Red shirt, blue skirt, and yellow lines on the road. Red and blue on the sign and the yellow crosswalk signal.   Red, White, & Black … Continue reading

I decided to do the Chipmunk Style video assignment, which requires you to take a pre-existing video or scene from a TV show or movie and either speed it up or adjust the clip so that it sounds like a chipmunk. I knew that in order for this to be … Continue reading

My second and definitely not my last inspiration of the week goes out to Melinda’s “Triple Troll Epigraph” assignment. I’m in the pattern of choosing inspiring posts on assignments i never did. This assignment was a little scary to me. It involved a lot of thinking and  creativity. As we all know, i don’t like to […]

My first inspiration this week comes from the awesome John Meadows. I wanted to branch out a bit and scroll through blogs i haven’t in a while. Luckily, John was chosen. As i was scrolling, one of his assignments caught my eye. His “Album Cover” was great! Sadly, i didn’t complete this assignment. I guess […]

Today’s Daily Create: Tell us your signature style Carmela… Yes, that’s my name as you all know. How many Carmelas do you know? Really think about it. Now, for all your Sopranos Fans out there, Tony’s wife does not count. This Daily Create is a little confusing but i’m to go with it. I’ve made […]

I was really inspired to do today’s daily create after reading Maggie’s great writing piece on it. She always has such great work and this is my second time nominating her to the Inspire page. Great job as always Maggie!

I love when voices are heard before anything plays and I have to say, this was definitely a scary first few seconds. The one girl in the middle turning and pointing her finger at each child in turn while saying in a mechanical voice that someone will chop them up was weird. I’ve never seen […]

I was looking at the Reading Movies unit and the fact that 100 hours of YouTube videos are added every minute was crazy to me. The Ken Burns video started on an interesting note, with him talking about 1 and 1 equaling three. His idea about the sum of the parts and the nuanced stories […]

Today I did the daily create about my signature style. My signature tells a story about myself. I know what it says because I wrote it, but the only way others can tell what it says is by watching me sign my signature; my handwriting is generally atrocious, my signature signage is indecipherable. My handwriting […]

I did today’s daily create, which was to ruminate on your signature style. You can read my response here. I found this prompt very confusing as to what it wanted us to do. I ended up taking a cue from one of the other people who had posted and written … Continue reading

These GIFs were made for the Say it Like Peanut Butter Assignment from the DS106 Assignments site. The first version here was made using Adobe Photoshop. Here are the steps I took to make this GIF from the movie Pride and Prejudice: 1. I imported my video clip into Photoshop using the import video frames […]

This week was a bit different. I liked the in[SPIRE] page and feel like it helped me get into the groove of commenting. I don’t necessarily feel that commenting is

One thing that caught my attention in the seventh episode of the third season of The Wire was the way Daniels switched the focus of the police to Stringer Bell.

The thing that I found interesting about the sixth episode is Avon Barksdale. The way he controls his men is amazing in a sense. They all obey him and they

The thing that caught my attention in episode five of season three of The Wire was once again Jimmy McNulty. This time I kind of feel like there was a

For my second daily create I decided to do the emoji come alive. I was shaken up by this one because there aren’t many emojis dealing with African American people.

For my first daily create I decided to the A free pass to change your past. It was very easy for me to come up with my response. As soon

Week 9 creeps to a lock down, with it works of in[SPIRE] have been locked into the archive vault. This week was like taking a stroll or at least a slow trot through an exhibit at an expo, museum, or something of that caliber looking at all of our creations. The three works I chose […]

Weeks 8 & 9 are in the books and they have been crazy ones for sure. Week 8 was full of meetings with my group of old biddies for our radio show (Melinda and Kisha), researching crime for my radio … Continue reading →

This was also inspire week.  I was inspired by three great works. I was inspired by Alison Thoet’s complete write up on McNulty.  She had a sort of mashup on different characters that McNulty has played in other shows. http://www.athoet.com/assignments/the-many-faces-of-dominic-west/ This was a very interesting posting about many different roles that Dominic West has been […]

Hello again all you ds106-ers!  This week, we were to take a look back at all of the hundreds of works created so far this semester and pick out a few that inspired us along the way.  In addition to this, all of our radio shows aired this week!  Let’s get right into it….   […]
