Well, here is my LAST and FINAL blog post for the course (I think).  I’m going to jump right into the links for the week. Final Project - Giant Jackson!  What an awesome assignment this was.  I really can’t explain how much fun I had making this and just spending time with video.  I would have ...

I don’t want to spend too much time writing since I made a video, so here it is! I really think the information that I have provided in my video is going to help out any future students a lot.  It’s a short ~3 minute video, but well worth the watch!  I think that I ...

So, for my final project, I decided to go with the video media focus rather than any of the other things that we’ve worked on this semester.  I went ahead and did two different things to make this as well rounded as possible.  The first is I edited an IMDB page to reflect the ‘movie ...

These assignments for the past two weeks were definitely a handful.  I think that I would have to say that this was probably the most time consuming week that I have worked on.  All of the assignments, save for just a few, required a lot of my time and work.  I hope that it all ...

Recycle The Media wasn’t one of my favorite assignments, but I’m completing it anyways because, well, we’re required to.  Out of all the media that I found in the link provided, I just decided to download 7 pieces and find audio of them from Freesound.org and then put the audio over the pictures.  This reminded me ...

So, I went ahead and clicked around a few different remix assignments and came across this one.  The assignment seemed fairly easy and I was actually kind of worried that I hadn’t completed the assignment appropriately!  I’m going to go ahead and link all of the appropriate things so I can give credit where credit ...

This assignment I created myself and I thought I would use it for my Mashup Star Requirements.  This puts me over 7 at a total of 8, but I rated mine so I hope it’s appropriate! This assignment was actually a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, but I had a lot ...

This assignment was SO MUCH FUN!  At the beginning of the semester, I reviewed a Hugo mashup that I really loved and have been thinking about all semester.  This assignment was the same sort of assignment and I had a blast creating it. I used the audio from the 300 trailer and the video from ...

This assignment was a lot more detailed and took me a lot more time to complete, but it’s done!  You can view my tutorial here if you would like. I’m really proud of what I created.  I’ve included links to the original songs that I used and my final product. It’s Our Fight Mind Heist

For my second tutorial, I’m going to try my hand at a bit trickier of an assignment that I created.  Since this one was a bit trickier, I’m hoping people can follow along with my tutorial. You can view the assignment here You can use any audio editing software that you want (Audacity, Garageband, iMovie). ...

For my first tutorial, I’m going to show everyone how to create a FaceInHole!  These are extremely funny and I thought the class would benefit from using this site. You can view my assignment here I categorized it under Visual Assignments and rated it as a 1 star assignment since it doesn’t take too long ...

Okay, well since I really enjoyed doing the video editing and the mashup part of the class, I’m going to focus my final project on that.  Here’s what I’m thinking… Since I used Jackson for my last mashup assignment, I’m wanting to focus on him again for this final project.  Here are the three elements ...

Okay, so I watched Everything is a Remix Part 1 and also A Fair(y) Use Tale for my exploring the concept of remix part.  The references that I watched were actually really informative in how they were laid out.  I figured that they would just be boring clips about what remixes are and how to make them. ...

So, this is coming in a bit later than I normally would have liked, but that’s really because these assignments have taken me a bit more time than I would have liked.  Having two weeks to do them was extremely necessary.  I really don’t think that I would have been able to complete them if ...

For this assignment, we were to “Create a video that tells a story where there is no dialogue or narration- only the camera, movement, and at most, a musical soundtrack, tell the story.”  I found this to be extremely advantageous to me because of Jackson.  He was able to help out a lot because, well, ...

So, we decided to go to Pancho Villa one night and eat dinner.  I love that place, so it’s always a fun time.  Jackson got his high chair and was playing around with some silverware.  After we ate, we were just taking turns holding him and talking.  Then, we got a lemon. The description: “Take ...

For my second Video Assignment, I’m choosing to Make A Tutorial For My Mom.  This proved to be extremely helpful because I am actually able to show my mom this and give this to her.  She always has trouble with making sense of her computer, so I thought that this assignment was right up her ...

This assignment was one of the ones that I selected to start my pre-production on.  Return to the Silent Era.  Our assignment is to take a trailer and make it look and feel old by applying effects both in the visual and audio department.  After watching Silent Star Wars, I decided to go in a ...

I had so much fun with this week’s assignments!  I can’t wait until I actually get to do the work that I set up for my pre-production.  I’m literally already almost done with both of those assignments.  I’ve been looking forward to working with video all semester and it couldn’t have come at a more ...

What a fun set of assignments for the week!  My favorite was probably the Web Storytelling!  I had an absolute blast with that.  I’ll go ahead and list the assignments for the week and then get in to any reflection. RoadTrip Radio Evaluation - I might have been a little too harsh on the RoadTrip Radio, ...

RoadTrip Radio Quality of audio -e.g. is the volume appropriate? are the levels even? Is the sound clear?  – This was one of the biggest issues with the show.  The introduction was very imbalanced in terms of audio quality.  It sounded like, throughout the show, each of the people were on different levels.  It didn’t sound ...
