This was a doozy of an episode that ultimately led to Michael, Dookie, Namond, and Randy all being displaced from their homes in one way or another. This was some really well done staging. Red, yellow, and blue. I love the appearance of all the Christmas decorations. They seem to … Continue reading

I wanted to keep a running post of my work on the final project for Bunk and have done so here. Bunk is a really cool character and so wonderfully sarcastic and ridiculous, yet serious and a decent investigator, so it has been fun creating Bunk outside the world of the Wire. “My name is […]

The lighting and the staging in this scene is well done. It’s interesting that Michael is sitting so much farther away from the others. Randy sitting alone at a lunch table because everyone’s been told that he’s a snitch. He’s really been playing an important role in this season’s plot … Continue reading

For my Daily Create this week I decided to do the (Food) Movie Trailer. I wanted to incorporate my favorite food/snack which is eel. Yeah eel!

This was a pretty easy assignment, but it was also pretty fun because you get to pretend to be someone else. For my character from the Wire I tried to make his notes as tuned into his life as possible and what I knew about him or could imagine him to be. To do this […]

During this evening we had a video discussion on Season 4 Episode 13 with John Meadows, Carmela Mitchell, Jeremy Hillard, David Mercer, and myself Jonathan Brazelton. Character Development I thought that the group made a lot of good points regarding the character development in regards to the younger group of characters on The Wire such …

To make this I downloaded a photo of the person I wanted from the Internet. I used Photoshop to block out just his silhouette. I used the eraser tool because the magic lasso tool could not pick up on the color differences, thought that tool is typically easiest to cut just what you want in […]

Tonight I had a really good chat with my first group members.   My group members included Jessica Reingold, Nicky Memita, Nick Randall.   We were all tasked with discussing the Season 4 Episode 10 entitled “Misgivings.” Initially we opened the discussion with a couple of screen shots in respect to the opening scenes of the …

Today’s daily create asked us to create a daily create where you had to create your own computer message.   The medium in which I used to assist me in generating a real life computer message was through the website Atom Smasher.    The method in which I created this was simple, I choose a funny avatar …

For my final mashup assignment I decided to do the Create Your Own SuperPAC assignment (3 stars). I found this assignment very interesting. It took so much effort to get

I decided to create my own assignment and make a motivational poster for Herc. Since Herc is always willing to do what is right, I think he is dedicated. Although Herc does break the rules when he thinks it is for the greater good. You can see my proce...

Because George Glekas operates Pyramid Industries, I decided to use the design assignment Website Design to create a official web layout for the company. Since George in the show sold cameras, I featured the “Electronics” page on the layout. To create the layout, I used GIMP to add a header,…

I have to admit, there are times that I forget to check on the daily create. But today is not this day! In the spirit of things, I created a custom error message as an example of something I’d use to notify me to keep on track. I went for the older, Windows 95 style […]

I’m getting down to the wire (LOL get it?) on this post so I will keep this short and sweet. I can’t believe this semester is almost over. What a ride ds106 has been. I’m happy to say I have learned so much about digital story telling. Here’s my work from these past two weeks:… Read More
