These past two weeks have been rough. Both Conway and I have been working on this case extensively. We have posed weekly updates on our case that have images (our main source of media), audio and a video. Throughout our investigation we were very confused but in the end we came out on top…no one […]

So this week Conway and I got out new case; finding night driver. So far we have been taking in the details of the cases and trying to better understand what is going on. This involved reading the notes that were left about 100 times to try to figure out what they meant.  We also […]

Update, Received a new case for our agency; Conway and I have to find this Night Driver thing. So far what i have been doing is basically finding out what Night Driver is; I was also able to find a place to play the game online. O btw there is a poster on our website […]

So week 11 was going extremely well until about 5 minutes ago where stupid word press deleted my last summary for this week. I hit the submit button and it decides to completely get rid of it with absolutely zero possibilities of finding it aka not in the trash or draft tabs of my post. […]

Well for this assignment we were suppose to find an easy to use digital tool online. The tool that I use all the time for pure enjoyment while I am in the squad car is clip converter. It allows me download youtube videos in either a MP3, M4A, AAC, MP4, 3CP, AVI, MOV. So I […]

With being a full time detective and having this digital story telling thing thrown on me…well lets say i ran out of whisky…When I first saw the amount of work I had to do, I wanted to run away, but because  my name is James Black I couldn’t. Interview with me! The first task on […]

Conway Adams (Tyler Daig) and I (James Black) will be working together on the final unit. We get along together even though he gets on my nerves sometimes with his singing, but besides that it should be an interesting last part of this class. This whole creating an agency thing should also be interesting considering […]

This main topic for this week was that of video. This is something that I really haven’t done much of but gave me the opportunity to explore what went into making a video and “reading” or video or movie. The first thing that i noticed with making film or videos is that my computer did […]

How To Tutorial: 3 stars This tutorial is of James Black doing James Black things and showing you how to load his service weapon magazine . In the video you will also get an appearance from his brother Jake Black, showing how to drink a beer. Enjoy!

To me, listening to my radio show on the air was pretty much the same as it was in person. The point of our show was to make people laugh and I think we accomplished this. Honestly, if i were to do this radio show different, i would prepare for it a lot more in […]

5 Seconds Of Fame: 2 stars For this assignment, we were required to take a 5 min video. This video that i made is of my roommates dog Ruger. He is a year and a half old chocolate lab who is also an amazing hunting dog. Now that duck season is over, he is either […]

This week was the perfect amount of work to have to do right after coming back from break. Everything was pretty straight forward and simple to do. The only part that was kinda difficult (as in annoying for me) was having to search through every ones blog to find what i thought inspired me; i […]

The majority of the works that i chose inspired me because they gave me a giggle. Also, every assignment that i chose was a visual assignment. Images have always been inspiring to me and sense taking this class i have learned so much more dealing with every aspect of images. I liked this assignment because […]

Common Everyday Object: 2 stars For this assignment we were suppose to take a picture of everyday common objects and manipulate the color. I decided to dedicated this assignment to James Black and Conway Adams’. This is something that you would find in their houses all the time.

Apophenia: 3 1/2 stars This assignment had you find something laying around in your house and make a picture out of it. All the item i used were something that would be found around James Blacks house along with Conway Adams’. Both are cops, so it made sense to use bullets in this picture. .

Create A Warning Poster – 3 stars This assignment was to create a warning poster of some sort of danger. I decided to make this poster about Conway Adams, Tyler’s character, who is a bad cop catcher. I used two emojis that i found on line and then simply saved the document as a picture […]

  I saw that Tyler completed this assignment for our characters and i completely agreed with him on everything besides the bow-tie on the truck. So here is my vision of James black and Conway Adams’ dream truck.  

So this was probably the easiest week for this class. We only had to do three daily creates, commenting, and  the radio show. The main focus  for this week was the radio show. This was surprisingly easy and fun to do. It only took Tyler and I a few hour to do this. It took […]

Progress update for week 2 of radio show: DONE Tyler and I decided to stay with the idea of going over modern day noir movies and having our characters host the second half of  the show. We used 5 movies instead of our original 10 to cut down the time of  the show. The movies […]

With the up coming radio show, i created a poster/promo for out show, NOIR At Night. Considering the title of our show is NOIR at night, I found a picture of lighting in a city at night. I searched through countless of pictures trying to find the perfect one.  At first i wanted to use […]

Spooky Sounds: 4 Stars The last assignment that I  performed to reach 10 stars was that of Spooky Sounds. I decided to dedicate this one to my character Black. The background of this sound clip is a person is driving and suddenly gets hit by another person on purpose. The person who got hit is […]
