    Progress on group radio show…Science behind the Wire

    by

We had a meeting at the ITCC center on campus and have all agreed on the topic of our radio show. We will have a discussion on the science behind wire tapping which includes the hardware and technology […]

    And with my final breath, I uttered…

    by
      Today’s daily create, give what might be my last words. How morbid! Anyways I’m kind of a bit of a romanticist so I prefer not to think of myself dying of old age or in a terrible accident, but through some weird unexplainable mishap or adventure. So I mixed a bit of humor in.

We have been using a google document to plan our project and post our individual work thus far. Today I met with Imran […]

    Silent Moonrise Kingdom

    by
    To make this video for the Return to the Silent Era assignment worth 5 stars I first found my trailer and downloaded it using the Firefox add-on Video DownloadHelper. I imported the trailer of Moonrise Kingdom into a video editing software called Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Pro is very similar to iMovie but it allows […]

    W-MAD (“Make Art Dammit!”) Radio

    by
    Radio Show Progress This week, Stephanie, Brittany, and I finally named our radio group and planned what segments to include in our Wire-themed show. Brittany came up with the awesome idea to pull some inspiration from Jim Groom and call our radio “WMAD Radio” which stands for “Make Art Dammit”…

    Radio Rants

    by
    One full week in preparing for group audio productions has come to an end! It has been the swiftest week since as no one was virtually accessible with it being midterms, 8 week finals, and anticipation of fall break which is officially over. It felt like a swift breeze across a bare naked butt it […]

    Dailycreate, #tdc1010 : Special Day

    by
    Today is a special day after I heard the possibility of positive news at my work.  Several benefits have been taken away and the possibility of their return was discussed today.  This left me really happy.  Yeah!  (Also my Halloween decorations at my desk make everyday a happy one! :))

    Our Current Chaos will be art… dang nabbit…

    by
    We are hard at work tossing around the ideas of a radio show designed as if it is a news broadcast that could have taken place during the time period of The Wire.  We will have several different snippets from each member of our team that will include political news, local news, traffic, etc all […]

    It’s a Kodak Moment in the House!

    by
    Since my radio show group is doing a backwards radio show, in that the main content is commercials for products in The Wire, I made one of my commercials for Kodak cameras. This also fulfills an assignment Maggie made called TV Product Placement Radio Ad, worth 2 stars. Kodak cameras were featured in Season 2 Episode 3: Hot […]

    Radio Show Progress

    by
    This project seemed to start at the worst possible time. The week before fall break is never a good week. Every professor in every class seems to need to get all their tests and papers in before the break… Do they think we aren’t going to come back? My group has accomplished some work. We […]

    Buyology of The Wire: Wired Buyers Promo

    by
    This is a promotional piece for our group radio show project called “Wired Buyers” where we focus on the product placement in HBO’s “The Wire”.  The show was rife with consumer products and we’re making a radio show largely made up of commercial ads, naturally given to hyperbole. I took a circuit tree design from […]

    Progress?

    by
    As you all know, we are required to write about our progress with our radio show. Well, i shouldn’t say required because it has really helped me! Just to give everyone another idea of what our show is about, the big theme is “The Science Behind The Wire”. Since both Ien and John are physics […]

    TDC For a Very Special Day

    by
    The Daily Create today consists of a flickr pic showing a very special day for myself. OK so I was completely floored by the fact that someone threw away free money but I really enjoyed just taking in a burger with my baby. I surprised her on the campus of VCU today to take in […]

    My Work for Radio Show Group Project Sept. 15 – I was asked by Maggie to join her and Imran on a radio show project group.  I accepted immediately because I was familiar with their work and had admired it and commented on it previously. Jessica and Lauren joined the group later that evening, and […]

    This is my commercial spot for Kentucky Fried Chicken in our radio show project “Wire Buyers”, featuring product placement in “The Wire”.   You’ll hear Homer Simpson, Peter Griffon, Jason Alexander in addition to Wee-Bey, Avon, and D’Angelo discussing KFC’s finest virtues.  I went for funny, with segues that follow the verbal queues such as […]
