    Rigby Gets a Name Change

    by
    So I saw this assignment (5 stars) and was like omg yes. I’m not sure why, but unnecessary censors are one of my favorite things. They’re just so hilarious. Probably because I’m incredibly childish. For my video, I decided to take an episode from the series Regular Show. It’s about this talking bird (Mordecai), his […]

    Crane Creation

    by
    This assignment (4 stars) required me to “explain something” to an audience. This was actually pretty difficult for me. At least content wise. I’m not extremely sure of myself when it comes to teaching others. It’s just a skill I haven’t had much practice in. Same goes for just doing something in front of someone […]

    I Prayed For a Crash

    by
    So with my newly obtained analyzing skills, I took apart this twenty-two second clip from one of my favorite films: Fight Club     For the purpose of catching everything, I watched the clip three different times.   1. Analyze the camera work For this first watch, I put the video on mute and watched it without […]

    Shot by Shot

    by
    Today’s title comes from this weeks required reading, “How to Read a Movie” By Roger Ebert. It’s in reference to a style of movie analyzing in which the viewer takes the movie apart and studies each frame or shot. In some ways it’s a lot like analyzing any form of media. Take a book report […]

    You’re gonna sing the words wrong

    by
    So I decided to do this assignment (3 stars). It called for me to record myself singing a song three different times and layer them together. I decided to cover Vance Joy’s “Riptide” This is the result: I chose the song because it’s been stuck in my head for a bit. I mean I really […]

    Are you afraid of the Radio Lab?

    by
    *Alternate titles included “Tales from the Radio Lab” and “Scary Radio Lab stories to listen to in the dark” This is the first show from Radio Lab I’ve ever listened to and I enjoyed immensely. The subject matter was my absolute cup of tea. The title Ghost Stories, is what initially drew me in. So naturally […]

    Big Bad

    by
    The site TV Tropes defines a Big Bad as “the cause of all bad happenings in a story.” Basically it’s that one bad guy who continuously shows up. It’s that one person that ruins all of the main character’s plans. This idea was the inspiration behind my song created for this assignment (2 stars). The instructions […]

    Ira and Jad’s Excellent Audio Adventure

    by
    Background time! I’m pretty familiar with audio storytelling. It’s always been something I’ve found interesting but more so in the last year. I’ve been listening to two audio dramas (Awake and Tokyo Demons) from this digital magazine called Sparkler Monthly. Both are really well done and I recommend giving them a listen. So, I really […]

    It’s Love.

    by
    Mako + Raleigh = Love   I don’t talk about love much. It’s a weird sort of topic for me. You could even say embarrassing. I’m not really good at expressing emotion so that’s probably the issue (;﹏;) In fact, it’s kind of weird I actually decided to do this assignment in the first place. The […]

    by
    Created for the Animated Movie Poster Assignment (4 and a half stars) It’s an animated version of the teaser poster for the upcoming James Bond film Spectre I really love James Bond. Or maybe just Daniel Craig. Probably a mix of both. This is actually my second James Bond post this week. (If you hadn’t […]
