I love a good viral video. I also love being one of the first to see it (maybe even before it goes viral) so that I can show my friends. So I created an assignment called “Reenact A Viral Video”. Pretty self explanatory, but a lot of fun. For my example I chose this funny …

My final assignment for this week’s remix was “One Archetype, Five Movies” that incorporates country. They call it “Countrify it” and I did just that. I felt that it was only fitting that I use westerns for this since we’re talking about country. So the Archetype is Cowboy, and the scenes are cut from some …

For my first remix assignment, I had to take the assignment from “The contest that nobody could win” to incorporate some cheesy element. On deciding the material for the contest, I thought of all the cheesy songs I could use. As seems to be a trend in my assignments, I fall back on things from …

The title basically explains the whole assignment for you. As a topic, I chose my favorite cartoon I watched growing up. My brother and I loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and probably had every single toy that was every made for the series. For the music I chose “Aerodynamic” by Daft Punk and matched certain …

This assignment gave me the freedom to tell a story of something I do on my computer all the time. One thing I’ve always used my computer for is checking my account balances.

This happens to me a lot. I’ll be listening to music on my computer with the TV muted in the background, and when I look up at the TV, the music I’m will reflect what’s going on in the program/commercial. For this assignment I reached into my bag of favorite movies and pulled out Step …

As you can probably guess by the title, this assignment involved gathering five one-second scenes from movies that represented a common archetype. One of my favorite characters in movies are the awkward geeks that add to the comedy of the film. So for this assignment, I gathered scenes from movies that had some of the …

I’m a little late on deciding what to do for my final project in DS106, but I hadn’t come up with any good ideas until now. One of my biggest passions is UNC Basketball. Growing up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, I wan never deprived of my favorite sports team. For my final project I …

This assignment was probably the best one I did this week. Last week I had decided on using the True Grit trailer and turning it into a silent, old-fashioned movie. But since that was already being done, I decided to use Cinderella Man, which as you might have guessed from the other assignments, is also …

Redub the Audio is a fun assignment where I get to do a voice-over of any movie scene of my choosing. I chose Jurassic Park, which was one of my favorite childhood movies growing up. I decided to keep the Jurassic Park theme music but did a voice over of the characters. I also kept …

For my Video Essay, I decided to change which movie I used for my analysis. Last time I used The Graduate, which is still one of my favorites. However seeing as I have many favorite movies, I decided to switch it up and use Batman: The Dark Knight. I apologize in advance for sounding a little congested. …

This week I recorded the audio for the Play by Play assignment of El Duque’s web gem. The hardest part about this assignment was probably having to act surprised by the play, even though I knew it was coming. After having to do their job for less than a minute, I have come to respect …
