The Hotel Scene one Time Log 6:00pm 4/10/2017 *Agent Frank Underwood returns home from the office distraught, thinking about all the hours of training and studying to become an agent, and for what? He was working a glorified 9-5 desk job in a cubicle on 32nd street in downtown D.C. It wasn’t the life he expected, setting … Continue reading "Final Project"

It truly is amazing that the semester has gone by this quickly! In all honesty my perception of the class changed 180 since the first week. It started off as a class that just had a lot of work to something of a release for me from my other class schedule throughout the week. Having … Continue reading "Week 14 Summary"

This last project will be a great opportunity to use a bunch of techniques that I have been working on throughout the year. My plan for the final project is to use a bunch of assignments that we have done to piece together an opening for my agent and his undisclosed mission, and then work … Continue reading "Week 13 Summary"

Currently still working on the story, I have gone the route of item 2. Agent Frank Underwood will be going on an undisclosed mission to the great white north in hopes of doing a little digging behind the scenes to see if the tip that the agency received has any validity to it. Frank will begin his … Continue reading "Final Project Progress"

This week served as sort of a continuation of what we have been building towards for the last several weeks. Remixes and mashups really let you show your creative talent and put together some of your favorite things (characters, songs, pictures) it really lets the class know who you are and what your likes and dislikes … Continue reading "Week 12 Summary"

For this assignment I decided to put together a small clip of some of my favorite comedians of the day. The video starts with stand-up by Louis C.K then goes into a interview of comedian Bill Burr and then ends with an SNL Clip and a Daniel Tosh clip. I have always been a fan … Continue reading "Comedy Mashup"

How can you choose?! Each holiday comes with its own uniqueness and reason to fall in love with it. This was a hard decision but I landed on: Thanksgiving Halloween New Years Thanksgiving has to be my favorite time of the year, the weather is perfect and the food is filling. Also most of the … Continue reading "Holiday Mashup"

For this assignment I decided to choose a picture from my favorite war movie of all time, “Saving Private Ryan” and attach to part of the UMW campus that feels like a war zone to me. I have never been one to excel in learning a new language, I defiantly feel that it helps to … Continue reading "Im Ready For My Closeup"

For this assignment I used https://www.youtube.com/editor which made putting everything together extremely easy. The creative commons search engine is attached to the page already so this allows you to avoid any posts that may get removed. The search allows you to look up movies, songs, add pictures, and finally add text. It takes a little getting … Continue reading "Period Piece Mashup tutorial"

For the majority of the week I used YouTube Editor to bring my projects together, really made everything simple and easy to maneuver around balancing background audio, pictures, and clips. I spent the majority of the week developing my character and 2/3 projects were geared toward the final creation and what his backstory may be as well as what missions … Continue reading Week 11 Summary

For this assignment I decided to ask the class a question in the video. The question is, Who will your agent be? We decide the fate of our agents so there is potential to take it in any direction we see fit. For the mashup I used a well known clip from the series Mission Impossible in which Tom Cruise does … Continue reading Period Piece Mashup

Being at senior at UMW and having 30 days left until my last final I just couldn’t pass up the chance to complete this assignment and really reflect on all of the wonderful times I have had at not only the school but also the Fredericksburg area as a whole. I tried to include as many photos … Continue reading College Snapshot

For this short movie I really wanted to introduce the inspiration for my agent (Francis Underwood) which if you have seen the Netflix original House of Cards than you know fully well who I am talking about. For those of you unfamiliar with the show than allow me to give a brief description. The show … Continue reading Movie Mashup

I have always been interested with the idea of a double agent, and what all of that might mean for an agency to have everyone’s cover blown out in the field if they don’t address the problem. With that Idea in mind I think a fun mission for the class would be to create a sort … Continue reading Class Mission

Another Week down! this semester is flying by it seems, I really enjoyed all of the final products that the radio show groups produced. I thought they came out really well for it being most peoples first time attempting to create something like that, including my own. I’m sure most groups had their own challenges as … Continue reading Week 9 Summary

For this assignment I decided to take a different approach. Rather than mapping out a trip that I had been on, I decided to map out the “locations” of my childhood. I came across the realization that I really didn’t travel very far from home on average. I was either at school during the day and playing sports at … Continue reading Google Map Trip

For this Assignment I decided to stay on this Ds106 post and change the whole assignment around to create the most frustrating assignment ever created. There are no instructions and the header pretty much says continue at your own risk. Good thing this isn’t real because there Is no starting or ending point to this … Continue reading Ghosts From Ds106 Past

Original Website Updated Website It is no secret that whenever we go to the movies we feel like professional critiques. Personally one of my favorite things about going to the movies are the trailers that come before. No matter who we are, you always turn to the person next to you that you are watching … Continue reading Webstorytelling

“Birthday Celebration” by Amari really needs to be celebrated, no pun intended. This is an audio mashup of different sounds from a CC search and put together to sound like a recording of a surprise birthday party. It was really well done and the inclusion of Amari’s own voice to say “shhhh” before fading out the … Continue reading Ds106showcase

I thought everyone did a great job with their radio shows, all the hard work really paid off. The ideas were really original and the shows were fast paced and kept the listener engaged throughout. I believe the biggest problem for most of the groups was making the dialogue and the background audio connect while … Continue reading Radiolisten

This assignment was a lot of fun and also extremely frustrating. I have always been a huge fan of these sorts of games, I usually play Pictionary and charades with my family. I am without question better at acting something out than I am at Pictionary, I was never one to have that artistic ability … Continue reading Google Draw Something

This week had its ups and downs, editing the radio show was without question the hardest part of it all because our group decided that the only way to get everything in was to record individually *because our group had a lot of time conflicts* meshing everything together and trying to make it flow was … Continue reading Week 8 Summary
