    December 14, 2012
    Seriously. Someone needs to take the gradient tool away from me. Oh whoops, damage done, TOO LATE. I created this rendering of a ruined Earth-Master city from McKillip’s trilogy to complete my own Imaginary Places assignment. First things first, here’s a list of all the stock images I used to create this image: Main ruins… more

    Check it out! I created YET ANOTHER assignment, and for this one you get to make your own online quiz. Pretty nifty, huh? Surprisingly, this turned out to be one of the easier projects I completed for my final portfolio. The website I used to create the quiz, PollSnack, is exceedingly user-friendly, quite unlike some… more

    In which I look like a total dork for the sake of my final project. I definitely took my own spin on the Text + Diagram -> Into a Movie assignment, and instead of fining “a written explanation of a concept and a diagram that illustrates that concept,” I adapted the ideas of riddlery from… more

    December 10, 2012
    For my ds106 assignments, I created a video assignment called Narrative Ambiance, the goal of which is to shoot some original video, then set it to sound and speech to evoke a particular mood or feeling. You can check out my blog post describing the assignment, and the final video below.   My second assignment ...

    December 6, 2012
    Continuing with my theme of “let’s parody every awesome line from Riddle-Master,” I give you my minimalist poster for the second book in the trilogy, “Heir of Sea and Fire”! MINIMALISM, AHAHAHAH. Why the heck did I ever think I could attempt minimalism? MY FAVORITE ART STYLE IS ART NOUVEAU, WHICH IS LIKE MINIMALISM’S POLAR ...

    December 4, 2012
    The following are my tutorials for the Movie Music Comparison assignment and the Movie Scenes That Changed Our Lives assignment, respectively. I’m trying out Vimeo because at this point YouTube can kiss my frustrated not-read-only downtime-hating tush, and you can quote me on that. I used the 30-day free trial of Camtasia to create both ...

    Seriously, has someone else already made that pun? If I am the first person to do so I have lost a bit of faith in this class (or maybe gained it—it’s a pretty dumb pun). For remix week, I talked about the nature a the remix with a little help from some excellent videos, and ...

    I fudged the Movie Music Comparison assignment a little—the second song I used is from a video game, not a movie. However, I’m once again invoking The First Rule and arguing that because a modern video game is technically an interactive cinematic storytelling experience (stick THAT in your rhetoric and chew on it, new media ...

    December 3, 2012
    Completing my “Normal to Extraordinary – IN PINK!” assignment was probably one of the easiest projects I’ve tackled this semester. It was also a ton of fun, and more relaxing than many of the assignments I’ve completed so far, which made it a nice way to begin my remix week. To complete the assignment, I ...

    December 3, 2012
    I may have gone a little overboard on the Recycle the Media assignment. At least, I FEEL like I did. I probably spent… five hours? Six? More? trying to get this video to congeal and do what I wanted it to do. My problem was that I was inspired, and that always gets me in ...

    December 3, 2012
    I’m deeply familiar with the art of the remix—in fact, anybody who is remotely invested in the culture of the internet at any level has to be. What I didn’t know was the origin of the term, or the catchy tagline that I’m going to cross-stitch onto a sampler and hang above my bed: “Remixing ...

    … which is a complete bastardization of one of the best lines from Patricia A. McKillip’s epic Riddle-Master trilogy. I’m going to be focusing my final project pieces (and one of my Remix assignments!) on this book and the vast, sumptuous world McKillip created within its pages. McKillip’s masterwork (in my opinion, though not in ...

Video week was almost as frustrating as it was educational, which means it was REALLY STINKING EDUCATIONAL. I am ready to punch several ...

    Embarrassing confession: I spent a full five minutes crying into my keyboard while attempting to complete the Movie Scenes that Changed Our Lives assignment, all because of ONE CLIP from “A Little Princess.” Just FYI, if you were not a little girl who grew up in the late 90′s you might not quite get what ...

    Funnily enough, this whole thing came about because I was attempting to do the Make it Constanza Decent assignment in which you film a day in your life, and my footage ended up being kind of crappy. I was happy with some of it, though, and wanted to use it for something in video week, ...

    5 Second Films is one of  my favorite websites ever. I discovered their work earlier this semester and thought their style of storytelling was perfect for ds106—I was actually considering creating an assignment based on their films before I realized someone else had already beaten me to it! Though I’d give the 5 Second Film ...

    Yep, that play on words is totally intentional. On to bigger and better things, right? Last week I explored an awesome clip from one of my favorite films, The Boondock Saints, in the context of Roger Ebert’s “How To Read a Movie” article:   I checked into the making of the movie with a few ...

    November 7, 2012
    Roger Ebert’s article about how the left, right and center of the screen are often used to indicate a character’s moral standpoint ends up being used to create a visual representation of moral ambiguity in Troy Duffy’s “The Boondock Saints.” It was difficult to find all that  many clips on YouTube with examples of this ...

    October 29, 2012
    I have finally, fully embraced the First Rule of ds106: break the rules of ds106. It’s that pesky second rule, what I like to call the Miss Frizzle Mantra, that caught up with me this past week. Ugh. Miss Frizzle and ds106 have a lot in common: they both encourage, nay, demand students to “take ...

    Team RadTASTIC was tasked with reviewing the Brick House Panel radio show. This is my take on their interview-style show featuring Halloween monsters giving their takes on portrayals of monsters in the media. The intro bumper seemed to be of lower quality than the audio it precedeed—it could have been a lot crisper, but I ...
