Final Project
My final project was so much fun to make! I think what made it the most fun was that I was able to decide what I wanted to create, in all respects, so I got to choose to do whatever I wanted, however I wanted. I didn’t have …
Here is my video of advice to future students and participants of Digital Storytelling, or affectionately known as ds106!
Good luck to whoever endeavors in this class in the future! It’s an interesting class but definitely requires a lot of work and is just as much work as a normal …
Here we begin our journey through Jason Mraz‘s most recent album, Love is a Four Letter Word, and follow him through his recent tour of Europe, ending in London, as he travels back across the pond to play at Madison Square Garden with other artists in his final …
Something Is Wrong Here Tutorial
I wanted to create a tutorial for this assignment that I created so that future students will know how to create this assignment, quickly and easily.
The first thing I did was to choose an image for the scene. I went onto deviant art and …
Your Favorite Favorites
The first assignment I created for this week was called Your Favorite Favorites. This was an audio assignment that I created that required you to choose a few of your favorite songs (however many you choose is up to you) and you edit and combine them …
For this week, we were asked to create two Daily Create ideas and submit them as suggestions. It was interesting to think of ideas for this component of DS106. Whenever I was completing Daily Creates throughout the semester, I always thought about what kind of ideas or suggestions I would …
And then one student said that happiness is what happens when you go to bed on the hottest night of the summer, a night so hot that you can’t even wear a tee-shirt and you sleep on top of the sheets instead of under them, although try to sleep is …
Remix This
The first thing we were asked to do these weeks was the same as the first thing we are asked to do every week. We are to review and browse through resources of the form of media that we will be working on for that week(s). I usually …
I really liked doing this assignment! It wasn’t that hard to complete but it was so much fun thinking of a story to create!
To start out, I just kind of browsed through all of the pictures and the media to try and get a feel for what I …
So I decided to do the Actor Transformation as one of my Mashup Assignments this week. I really liked the idea of showing the transformation of a famous actor through the years and through their works. When trying to think of an actor to choose, I knew I wanted to …
So for one of our assignments this week, we had to go to the remixer site for ds106 and click on the blender on that site. This used a past assignment and remixed it in a certain way. You could keep reclicking the blender if you wanted until you got …
Remix Resources
We were assigned to watch at least two videos detailing what remixing and mashing up is all about. None of them really interested me that much, or immediately caught my eye, until I saw the Disney video. It was a video all about the definition of copyright …
So I read over the entire assignment for the final project and I really liked the idea of combining all of the different elements we’ve been working on this semester to create this piece. I really really liked the example of Cinderella. Growing up, my favorite Disney princesses were Cinderella …
Video Assignments
The first assignment I did these two weeks was Play by Play. I really enjoyed inserting my own commentary into a video that I watched. It was a cool experience to have my own input and to hear it play outloud.
The second assignment I did this …
As soon as I saw this assignment, I knew I had to do it! It looked like something I would really enjoy doing and I was really surprised to see that 0 people had completed the assignment yet! So I thought, why not? I looked at Alan’s video and …
This assignment took forever! The second video assignment I decided to do was Return to the Silent Era. This seemed like a really cool assignment because you had to take a trailer from a modern movie and make it antiquated and make it silent era-y.
So at first I …
The first video assignment I decided to complete this week (and outlined last week) was called Play by Play. This was one of the first video assignments that caught my eye last week in the list that gave us examples of assignments we could outline. I really liked the …
Video Editing Tools
We had to write a blog post about the video editing tools we have available to us and also had to talk about the experience we had with these tools. Mine is pretty much zero… So we’ll see how this goes!
3 Time Review
I chose to …
Play by Play
I plan on using the video of the infamous New Mexico soccer player yanking the Brigham-Young player’s hair so that she falls to the ground for this assignment!
Here’s my commentary script:
-”We’ve all heard about this crazy girl…”
-A header off of a header, when …
Vewwyy Intawesting (in Bugs Bunny voice)
Because this was a movie about professional football, the NFL tried to prevent any professional football players from taking part in it. However, Terrell Owens is taped scoring some touchdowns for the Miami franchise wearing his namesake on his jersey, just with a different …
I chose the football speech given by Al Pacino scene in Any Given Sunday to analyze.
The scene begins with slowly zooming in on the sign outside the locker room that says “POSITIVELY NO VISITORS.” This starts the story that nobody else is allowed inside, only the home team. The…
The video tools I have available are the Windows Movie Maker and MPEG StreamClip. At first I couldn’t think of any experience that I had with Movie Maker but then I remembered doing a project in 8th grade where we wrote and paper and made a version version of it …
I knew one of the Daily Create assignments this week was to take a picture of the damage the Big Storm Sandy had done. So I hadn’t really seen any images of that in Fredericksburg because it didn’t really impact the area that much. But I came home tonight and …
Radio Show Critiques
This week, on Monday, my group listened to our radio show live on ds106radio. So, for this week, we had to critique ANOTHER group’s radio show, along with critiquing our own. This was interesting to look at another group’s work and see what did or didn’t work …
The Despicables
My show was Radio Roadtrip so I was assigned to critique The Despicables. This group was from the other class and their radio show was like an interview radio show where they had people call in and talk about why/why not fall is their favorite season and …
Once upon a time…
There was a girl named Lauren who had many favorite things. She hates the cold, so her favorite part of shoes are her flipflops that she wears pretty much every day. She loves getting new, free tshirts and she loves tiedying tshirts with her friends. …
Audio Brooo
My first audio assignment was reading from my favorite Dr. Seuss book “Are You My Mother?” I really enjoyed doing this project! But it was hard to find the whole text of the book without having an actual hard copy of it. So I ended up having to …
I was just sitting at work looking through the Daily Creates trying to see which ones I could knock out while on duty on Friday night… and I found this one! I noticed that most people who had already submitted the assignment had drawn happy or frowny faces, so when …
This audio assignment was really fun to do! We had to take a song and change it somehow so that it sounded like chipmunks were singing it. I love assignments that involve music so, once again, I just shuffled through my iTunes library to find a song that I think …
This audio assignment immediately caught my attention in the assignment bank. I’ve always loved Dr. Seuss’s books and I thought reading one out would be a really fun thing to do! We had to read aloud one of our favorite books by Dr. Seuss. One of my favorites that I …
