Video http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/60-second-day-a-video-narrative/ I made the video in iMovie, my All Hail King Leo assignment is a good reference for this. I simply shot all the clips on my iPhone 6 and then imported the clips into iMovie. Then I just trimmed the clips and put them together to make the full video.

This is a story about a poor DS106 student who did not properly heed the fair warning that was sent out by professor Polack before the start of the course. The student’s name is Stu Ped. Stu begins his first week of class by going to Dr. Polack’s DS106 course page to write down his […]

Almost done! This week was pretty tough but it was fun since I enjoy working with video. I especially enjoyed putting together the compilation videos for my assignment. I watch a lot of videos on YouTube everyday so it was fun to create my own little videos. I also got a greater appreciation for using […]

For the Look. Listen. Analyze assignment, I watched the clip above. I have seen this movie though it was a long time ago so I do not remember all of the scene very well. Analyze the camera work I watched the entire clip with the audio muted and just focused on the visuals. Some things […]

For the Favorite Actor/Actress Highlight Reel assignment I put together the video above. I am a big fan of DiCaprio movies so I enjoyed going back and looking at some of these crazy scenes he made. Behind the Creation I knew immediately when I saw this assignment that I was going to make this compilation […]

  For the Highlight Reels assignment, I created the video above. It consists of some skills by the Argentinian Lionel Messi who plays for the club team FC Barcelona. Behind the Creation I am a huge soccer fan, or football whatever. I do not care what the hell you call it, you’re talking about the […]

I read Roger Ebert’s Article on “How to Read a Movie”, which informed the reader about techniques on how to read in between the lines when watching a scene in a movie. It definitely opened my eyes to subtle video techniques that some directors use. The concept of visual space and how the use of […]

Done with my first week working with audio. I do listen to podcasts and other radio stuff occasionally but I have never actually worked with it myself. Although I did not find it to be too daunting and enjoyed some of the stuff. I liked creating the Sounds Of My Day assignment, I guess to […]

I listened to the I Was Just Trying To Help segment from This American Life. The segment starts with Ira Glass interviewing a circuit court judge, Sharon, who was fired from her job after what the court presumed to be giving legal advice to someone for a case. The person was convicted of rape many […]

For the Movie Voice Machines assignment, I did something a bit different instead. I basically just made my own version of Jesse Pinkman’s answering machine in Breaking Bad. Here is the real one from the show: Behind the Creation If it is not obvious already, I am a huge Breaking Bad fan. The show has been […]

Here is my Tweet for this Daily Create: @ds106dc Johnny boy hitting those high notes. I do not think I could ever top this #tdc1608 pic.twitter.com/BDp4o00A7s — Hasan Shami (@hshami17) June 4, 2016

So today I decided to record some audio of my typical workday for this assignment. Hopefully the sounds make it clear about what I was doing in the clip. Behind the Creation I am currently a intern at Dahlgren Naval Surface Warfare Center. I commute from my home in Fredericksburg to King George and work […]

Here is my Tweet for this Daily Create: @ds106dc Get it? The six? DS one-oh-SIX? Yeah i'm not big fan of Drake either. #tdc1607 pic.twitter.com/ZGMau7VEdm — Hasan Shami (@hshami17) June 3, 2016

Ira Glass’s talk was actually very interesting to me. I watched part 1 and 2 and it made me realize certain things about audio storytelling that I did not really give much thought about. He talks about in part 1 about anecdotes and gave a great example of a random story about a man waking […]

2 weeks down, 3 more to go. This week was a little more tough only because I did not have a good photo editing software until later this week when I got photoshop. I do not think I have ever done any sort of design work with pictures so this was definitely a new experience […]

After reading Vignelli Canon, it put the process of design into a different perspective for me. One of the first things that caught my attention was when he spoke about syntactical design and showing the example of the NYC Subway map. It made me realize that there is actually a careful process that goes behind […]

Here is my Tweet for this Daily Create: @ds106dc @cogdog I only have 9 followers on Twitter, so yeah I would say that is pretty massive #tdc1602 pic.twitter.com/MxBIb2Mcep — Hasan Shami (@hshami17) May 29, 2016

For the Are We There Yet? design assignment, I created the image above of me supposedly relaxing on a cliff. Behind the Creation Apparently pictures like this are very popular nowadays where someone takes a shot of their feet hanging in mid air while they are looking down some high place. Unfortunately I am sitting […]

Here is what I made for the Tattoos 4Life assignment. Pretty geeky… Behind the Creation I thought this would be sort of funny as a tattoo. “delete[] poop;” is programming syntax for C++ for when you want to deallocate or destroy the memory block that poop is pointing too. The tattoo would be meant for […]

  For the Change of Scenery assignment, I created the photo above. I guess the daycare decided to hire the heavy metal band Slipknot to entertain the kids. Behind the Creation As strange as it may seem, I am a fan of rock and heavy metal. I don’t keep up with it nowadays but heavy […]

For this design blitz, I took some pictures around my home of objects that exemplified 4 concepts of design. The 4 design concepts were Balance, Rhythm, Proportion, and Unity.

Here is my GIF for GIF Your Sassy Animal assignment. As you can see, Bruce is giving some serious sass. Not really he’s just playing. Behind the Creation Bruce is my one year old cat and like most cats we play hide and go seek. Usually he will be around a corner and I slowly […]

Here is the poster I made for the Motivational Poster (3 stars) design assignment. Credits to Taylor Nguyen for the photo. Yeah, turf burns are no joke. Behind the Creation As I was scrolling through the design assignment bank on the ds106 website, I saw this assignment and immediately knew what I was going to do. […]
