My first week as an orphan

Posted by

Alright well this has been a crazy week with audio, I might even go as far to say that by the end of this I never want to hear again. Melodramatics aside, my group the orphans (we should really discuss a name change) have been making steady progress with our radio show. Our theme is going to be one that would make Charles Dickens proud, looking into the past, present and future of ds106. We intend to interview 1 person who has taken this course in the past, 1 who is currently taking it now, and 1 who may be a prospective student in the future.

So far our ghost of ds106 past, Samantha, has interviewed our past senpai (senior student) no doubt making him relive some horrid memories of his own Turkish hackers and disturbing Jim Groom gifs. While Rabia is in the process of setting up her own interview and making our bumper.

I myself have completed our first commercial, using about the same guidelines as making our sound effect stories. The commercial follows this premise: It’s a dark and stormy night, rain and thunder sounding, when suddenly you start to hears footsteps accompanied by the sound of something being dragged across a metal floor. As our figure nears his destination, he pushes open the large creaking door of the laboratory. We learn that the traveler is Igor, who has been sent out to run an errand for the doctor. Upon his return Igor exclaims “I have brought what you required, master”, pleased the doctor informs him to begin preparations at once. The sound of a machine starting up can be heard, the doctor then instructs Igor to pull the switch. A large clunk is heard as a mysterious machine begins to charge up until reaching its climax in an explosion of sparks. Unexpectedly, the doctor then opens a can of Dr. Pepper as the party music starts to play. The preparations turned out to be a party that wouldn’t be complete without some Dr. Pepper.

Somewhere along the way I’ve ended up being endorsed by Dr. Pepper, so I’m expecting my paycheck or lifetime supply any minute now. The sources for my commercial are as follows:
