COACH HERMAN BOONE (Remember the Titans, 2000) August 1971 Coach Herman Boone stood on the edge on the field, pensively staring up at the chipped, yellow field goal post. The sun made his eyes burn, so he turned and strode confidently back to the bench. As a newly integrated, high school football team, the TC […]

The corner of Winslow Arizona holds a great deal of history. So WHY NOT stage a mock cowboy duel? That’s what he thought, at least. Standing there, hands visibly shaking, the man gingerly placed his hand on his pistol holster and met the gaze of his opponent. The opponent followed suit and confidently raised his […]

The Healthy Vine Challenge Create a Vine video that illustrates you cooking a complete meal! You must include a meat (or protein source, if you have a personal preference or dietary restriction), a veggie side, and a healthy side of your choice. Take two 2-second clips of the meal preparations, then one 2-second clip of […]

The inspiration behind this assignment can be attributed to my eclectic mother. As I begin my last week of summer classes (and college, for that matter!), she lovingly brought me down a random assortment of ingredients. She told me it may be cathartic to cook a nice, healthy meal for myself in order to to […]

Today’s Daily Create is: I’m Flying! Make a short video showing the spirit of flight.Then, upload your video to YouTube with the tags #dailycreate and #tdc925. I plan to fly (and travel) to as much of the world as I possibly can. I can’t wait!

http://www.pinterest.com/hayleyjoe/my-dream-vacation/ My dream vacation involves visiting three countries in Southeast Asia. I have been long awaiting the day that I save up enough money waitressing to travel abroad after I graduate! My plan is to start off in Thailand, then travel to Vietnam next, and finish my vacation in Indonesia. I would most likely spend […]

Create A Pinterest Board Of Your Dream Vacation An assignment for dreamers If you don’t already have a Pinterest account, create one! Next, take a moment and contemplate where you would want to go. A vacation does not necessarily mean you have to select one place to travel to. It can involve a variety of […]

I thought this week was a lot more fun than last week! I really enjoyed executing the video assignments– I am particularly glad I discovered Vine! I had fun with my product review video of my iPhone 5 as well. The daily creates were fun, per usual. And I loved getting comments on my posts […]

For this blog post, I decided to analyze a scene from The Dark Knight, more speficially, the scene when the Joker interrupts a mob meeting and dramatically shows them “a pencil trick” with very dark and dangerous connotations. When I watched the clip without any audio: I noticed the camera angle was almost continuously moving. […]

To begin, I found Ebert’s descriptive of movement in cinematography to be very interesting. He explained how the movement of characters, in addition to the movement of camera angle, can infer both positive and negative connotations. A quote of his that I found very helpful was, “Right is more positive, left more negative. Movement to […]

I chose to do the product review video assignment because I do not think I can emphasize enough how important easy, instant, and engaging communication is to my generation these days. The plain and simple fact is: iPhone make life easier. I feel comfortable saying that for many reasons. They eliminate a wide range of […]

Wearin’ my Jesus sandals, exploring paths unknown. The exquisite nature of this mosaic is unforgettable. Each piece of stone strategically placed, an inspiration for my life. Glad I could share it with my fellow Daily Creators Today’s Daily Create assignment is: “Show your mood today by taking a picture of stairs. Show your feet too. […]

Please view my vine at the following link: Vine1 This was a tricky assignment. With only six seconds of video, it doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for creativity. But in my opinion, I managed ok! This Vine video is a very accurate depiction of my daily life. I have spent the majority of […]

FROM ATOP THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA This picture embodies the idea of immortality from my perspective. Few things will beat what it felt like to get to one of the highest checkpoints on the Great Wall. Today’s Daily Create assignment is: Create a photo that represents the idea of immortality. This is my mental […]

This week brought about some trouble for me. Per usual, the daily creates were a delight. However, the audio assignments gave me a little bit of trouble. I’ve been experiencing some shotty internet connection recently and that prohibited me from doing some of the more complex audio assignments. However, I really enjoyed doing the voicemail […]

Delta Gamma Nu and always in pink: Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. An instant classic. As a blonde, this film was one of my absolute favorites growing up. At the peak of middler school era “dumb blonde” jokes, this movie always gave me a positive outlook on being blonde. While they sexualize her in the […]

English muffins and tea, please. Where could I possibly be from? I chose this audio assignment because I think it taps in to the notion that McDonald’s, although they may appear to be universal, can be quite different from country to country. I have been inside McDonald’s in Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Shanghai, Melbourne, London, etc. […]

Today’s Daily Create assignment is: Draw an @amyburvall Style Message (yes, you must use pink) I chose a Maya Angelou quote for my @amyburvall style message. Pink being the most important feature of this artistic style. I used a drawing tool application to execute this assignment.

Ta-da! Here is my first audio recording on SoundCloud! I thought it was going to be much more of a hassle to create an account, but I actually found the site to be very manageable and well designed! I chose an avatar picture as a measure for personalizing my profile. I am excited to use […]

Today’s Daily Create assignment is: Cheer Up the Lonely Day “Can you do that in one photo? It’s a real […]

The Daily Create #10 Today’s Daily Create assignment is: Modern Vintage “Take a photo of something modern and make it look like it is from a very old photo. Get creative, don’t just slap it into black and white or through in a cheesy sepia filter. How can you compose the image to make it […]

“I wish my car had a feature that could tell me exactly how many miles are left in my gas tank.” As a poor waitress and college student, what a truly phenomenal gift. Today’s Daily Create assignment is: Your life in a sentence, take a photo post to flickr [ via http://tdc.ds106.us/ ]

Summary of Week Two I felt as though this week went a lot more smoothly than the first week of class. Now, I check The Daily Create every day, looking for intriguing assignments, and I have also been listening to Scottlo’s podcast. I received a lot more feedback this week than the previous week, but […]

I have not really gotten much feedback on my posts. I got a response or two on daily creates I have made, but, for the most part, I’ve gotten very simple responses. Aside from the ones by my professor answering my questions, my comments have been lacking in usefulness. I would love to get some […]

The Daily Create #908 “Time Travel. Explain Twitter to Someone Living 100 Years Ago.” It might be impossible. It is at least nearly impossible to explain such a complex system of innovative technologies to a person who is about to experience life on earth during World War 1. They barely had cameras! A person from […]

My Six-Word Memoir It reflects back on a life experience I had with grief. Recently, I lost a friend who, with his age, had a variety of health problems. I symbolized this by the different colored cancer ribbons. He was an incredible man and neighbor that I had the pleasure of knowing for the past […]

My Motivational Poster This photograph was taken by me on the best trip of my entire life: Australia! For almost three weeks, I backpacked with my best friend all over the southern part of the beautiful country. Our trip took up the large majority of my past winter break, in between the Fall 2013 and […]
