This project was not found in the DS106 bank, but was an original idea which turned into a group project. So for this project we had 3 members for the group who were Laywah, Khalil and myself Jayson. The idea for this project was to create a story of three …

For this assignment we were asked to create a story using audio snippets form songs for the DS106 assignment named Music Tag. This assignment placed more emphasis on the lyrics of each song used and the requirement was that the last word of each clip used had to be …

This remix project was in  accordance to DS106 audio assignment Music Mashup, which asked us to create an audio mashup aka a remix of two songs. I didn’t used Audacity as the assignment asked, but that is because I didn’t have to used Audacity.

Instead I used Mixxx which …

This project is based on the DS106 audio bank assignment Dialogue Mashup. This assignment asked us to take two different movies and extract the dialogues from scenes and re-edit them to create a story.

I chose to …

This Project is based on the Storytime! SongTag Style assignment from the DS106 bank. This assignment asked that we create a story using at least 5 songs. For me some of the most annoying music can be the ones about relationships, however they can be some of the most in …

So this post has no real connection to DS106 but is rather for another class I did this Fall 2013. This basically is a way for me to show the progress of how my final project came to the place that it managed to get to. This class was no …

So for summer so far I’ve been relaxing to some extent doing some reading and research into media related stuff and other stuff that I find interesting. What I happened to come across in the last couple of weeks is this video competition that just wrapped up back home(Barbados). It …

Ok so the semester is over but DS106 heart still beats, so going through the assignment bin I was inspired so to say try my hand at a gif just to practice so to say. So I came across this nice one assignment wich asked us to Turn a …

So here we are at the end of the semester for CT101/DS106. What a ride this has been. I would admit going into this class, I had no idea where it would lead to which is not a bad thing and certainly kept it interesting. I must admit there was …

What a crazy week it’s been eh CT101/ DS106 fam. Started from the the bottom of Jan and the tdc now we her…. never mind. So for my final project it was kinda hard making a decision on what to actually do. I was gonna do some gifs but then …

I would have to say of all the activities I did for the semester my favorite would have one I did for the DS106 Sardonic Mashup audio assignment.

This was an assignment I enjoyed doing the most, because firstly it was a spoof of an apology of a ridiculous situation …

In response to CT101s post Fairness and Fair Use, I chose to look at the current ongoing case between popular Wu-Tang rapper/ producer and now recently actor and director Robert Diggs aka RZA or Bobby Digital. RZA was the producer for Kanye West’s single “Dark Fantasy” from his album …

In response to Prof. Chloe’s post this Friday gone. I watched the James Gee video on video games and interacting with media. What stood out for me is the evidence which found that text books have been the least successful tools.  I remember back home in Barbados having similar discussions …

So I know its been a while since i last posted anything on the blog, so here we go I been trying to make up my mind on what to use for this popcorn video along with having my own issues to the not so easy use of popcorn in …

Wow we are week 10 already…. this semester will soon be over so quick. For this week we worked in groups making mockumentaries. My group chose to do an aftermath interview of “Artist Hughes”, aka Roger Hitterman, the bus driver who was fired for punching a 25 year old …

For this video, I attempted to do a video for the DS106 Video Assignment, “Music Video“. For this video I chose the song, “Hit the road Jack“, and the movie was, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall“. I chose this movie because it was more comedy to …

This video I had a little more fun playing around with. This was done for the DS106 video assignment, “Sports Mashup“. This process was quite similar to my Tough Principals in film video but done a little differently.

For this video I think the hardest part was …

This video my first for YouTube was for the DS106 video assignment, “One Archetype, Five Movies, Five Seconds“. For this video I chose to use Principals (or teachers good to be) found in film.

For my process, I downloaded the videos from Youtube using the online embedded …

This is my third entry into the DS106 Hangin’ With Hockney visual assignment.  I took my 14 shots for this one outside the Javits Center in the evening when I was leaving, I only regret not thinking about doing it earlier but it still works I guess.

The process for …

Ok so this is my second entry for the DS106 visual assignment Hangin’ With Hockney. This is a pic of the McClaren F1 road car and other Mcclaren models in the back ground. this was done quite similarly to the one I did for the 370 Z.

For …

So last week I had the privilege of going to the Auto Show in Manhattan. Imagine 113 years and still holding strong……cars are just awesome. So any how as I was there and checking out the awesome rides and some not released yet, others that felt soooo right sitting in …

So I had this other mash up interview I did with David Letterman. This again is another interview public-apology type with Oprah, however unlike Lance Armstrong’s which came after years of denials, Letterman’s interview came after much apologies to different celebrities. Here is the clip form Oprah’s show on her …

This gif is my second entry for the DS106 Visual Assignment, “Where Did The Soda Go?”, and the process for this one was the same process as the one I did for the Perfect Office Chair.

This gif was made from the infomercial for the Rollie Eggmaster…

This attempt at a GIF here was inspired by the DS106 Visual Assignment, “Where Did All The Soda Go?“. This assignment was fairly easy to do now, and it asked us to create a gif from a hilarious (I think ridiculous) moment in an infomercial. So for this …

So for this week we had to create a radio show as a group as can be played above. My group was made up of Renee, Deji and myself. So we decided to do our show on the great driving that happens here in NYC, I know right. So according …

Hey So I am just trying another assignment for the Sardonic Mashups, in the DS106 Sound Bank. So for this one I decided to use the GEICO commercial, where Maxwell the pig is on a date and is waiting in the car after calling for a tow …

Ok so this is the second I did for the, “Make your own ringtone(s)“, from the DS106 Assignment Audio Bank. For this file which I also made using Audacity. This only involved one song, My Name Is, by Eminem. What I did was to copy …

This short audio piece was made for the Audio Assignment, “Make Your Own Ringtone“. For this I assignment for some reason the Metro PCS tag, “Hello hello hello” just comes to mind after hearing it so many times, like at the end of this commercial. So for …

This sound clip was designed for the DS106 Assignment Audio Bank, for the “The Contest Nobody Could Win“, assignment. I did this quite similar to the Li*e Strong Sardonic Mashup I did earlier this week. I just randomly took specific parts of a few sounds to create …

This sound clip I did was for the Sardonic Mashups, from the Audio Assignments bank which asked to make a mash along the lines of a public apology, a commercial, a pandering politcial speech or anything you’d like to mock for the public good.

So for my mash up …
