I think DS106 is a really amazing class. Unlike other classes that are very structured, Ds106 allows the student s to decide what assignment they want to do. I really loved this class and I’ve really discovered how creative I really am. My favorite assignment by far  the final project. I’ve never had an assignment ...

I chose to do this post not only as proof to my professor that I actually did my project myself, but also for my own self-satisfaction. I’m really proud of my mashup and it took me a lot of time and effort. I could have easily found a mashup on youtube and put ending credits ...

The purpose of this post is to provide the viewers with a more critical understanding of the Kubrickian Mashup. In the video I have purposely exhibited many of Kubrick filming trademarks.

Dear prospective storytelling students First and foremost this class should be at the top of your grocery list for next semester. What I think is so great about this class is that it is so unorthodox. Not many college classes today offer the students to truly express the full extent of their creativity. Never have ...

Almost finished my final project on the Stanley Kubrick films mashup. I can say that Im really proud of it but what I have left is the really tough monotonous part where I have to make sure the music goes with the video.

Hey guys I’m really reluctant about revealing any content for my final project because it really is only one thing and is not in chunks. I am having so much fun and I am getting a really good understanding of Kubrick’s way of directing. The song that I’m using for the body of the work is ...

Since for my final project I am doing a video mashup, I decided to go visual on this one. I really enjoy art history and I also like playing around with photoshop. I knew I had to find paintings that were easy to identify, so the audience could fully understand the changes. Ive also added the ...

CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE FULL SCALE! Hey guys this is the progress I have for the mashup assignment. I’m not sure if I’m gonna continue with this or do something else, im still debating. I chose not to do a video mashup because I’m doing that for my final project. I used Van Gogh’s ...

I decided to do my Video essay about one of my favorite movies, The Village. I think this movie is really underrated because I think the audience was expecting to be really scared and the movie wasn’t that scary. During the video essay I talk about my favorite scene and why I think this movie ...

I think the author’s argument it the article Praxis 2.0: Escaping the edu-travelogue is very inspiring and fresh. I think it’s important for someone to express his or her creativity and I think it still counts as creating even if you are altering someone else’s work. I think that education today is boring and not ...

Ive now really started working on my video montage and I thinks it’s really exciting. I now am remembering how much I loved Kubrick unique style of directing. Im using two classical songs in the background but I want to leave it as a surprise. YouTube down loader has been a major help for me. ...

I have chosen the songs and clips that I want to use for the montage. I am excited that were just now getting into video right in time. One problem I am facing is that I want It to be original from the hundreds of Kubrick montages on youtube. There is really on four classical ...

The first radio show I listened to was the Angstas and I thought their impressions were quite amusing. My favorite impression was the one about Adolf Hitler. I loved the accent he used and he was very funny. I had no idea that he wanted to go to art school. I thought I was a ...

Sound Effect Story by rtyszka I used soundblog.com

I knew this assignment would be kinda of challenge, but that was just more incentive to do it. I had to pick an image that was basic yet one that was recognizable. 2001 A Space Odyssey is one of my favorite movies and I though HAL would be familiar to some people at least. I ...

First thing I did was search, Shark Clip Art, in Google Images and I eventually found this. Next, I wanted to the same Jaws font they used in the movie so I searched, Jaws font, and I found one that looked identical. It was called Amity Jack I knew it would be pretty cool to ...

I know this was meant to be done last week. But I still don’t have an idea what to do for my final project.  I really enjoy messing around in photoshop and flickr. Mabye ill edit some pictures or something, IDK.

After reading “RADIO, an Illustrated Guide”, I felt like I had a brand new perspective on Radio and how it works. Ira Glass”s videos help reinforce my idea that sometimes radio can be difficult when you first start, but it has it’s rewards in the end. I chose to listen to the radio story tilted Heretic. ...

After reading, RADIO, an Illustrated Guide I’ve realized how challenging the road to Radio success actually is. I never knew it took so much work to make a Radio story. I can’t believe the interviewers only would use 20 minutes of tape for a really long interview. The whole process seemed really interesting. While your ...

I decided to do my poster on one of my favorite movies, Jaws. I used adobe photoshop.
