    The Art of Panoramic Photography

    by
    Panoramic Photography captures images with horizontally elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. Example of a Panoramic outside of class.. “Train View”  Before: Color Pano After: Black and White Pano   Panoramic can be pretty cool as-well. You can make somebody appear in the image more than once as if … Continue reading "The Art of Panoramic Photography"

    Thursday Night ds106radio

    by
    War of worlds… Now what do you think of when you hear that title…? I definitely didn’t think it was going to be what it was. An alien invasion?!?! Honestly, it was pretty cool to listen to, but annoying at times because I wanted to actually see what I was hearing and couldn’t (ugh). But […]

    Why audio is cool

    by
    I thought Moon Graffiti was so cool to listen to. It’s weird to think that the president had to have a pre-recorded message all ready to go in case Armstrong and Aldrin didn’t make it all the way through the mission. To me, I would have thought it was bad luck. But God was watching […]

    Analyzing photos

    by
    These are 2 still shots from the Game of Thrones which, in my opinion, goes along with our theme. You see the different perspectives between the two. The first one, you have no idea what she’s looking at, and you think the people in the back are looking at her. But then in the second, […]

    week 2 round up

    by
    What a short, long week…yeah, that didn’t make any sense. 4 day week, but it seemed like it dragged on. Anyways, I did “Daily Creates” on Tuesday-Friday and I thought they were pretty interesting “Creates”. I chose to do assignments from the Writing, Video, and Photo options from the Assignment Bank. From my random fortune […]

    No More Daily Creates

    by
    Conga line music initiate. No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! OK, now I’m tired. But in all seriousness, thank your [insert deity] I’ll never have to do another daily create. I should have wrote my future self a note, warning him about it. Out of […]

    Chaplin’s Foley Artist

    by
    This is an assignment from the DS106 Video Assignments bank – “Charlie Chaplin’s Foley Artist” challenge (4.5 Stars). While an iconic of the silent film era, Charlie Chaplin’s movies never got the audio oomph of THX. Here is your chance to make the silent era come alive by adding foley sound effects to a movie […]

    The Three Little Pigs

    by
    It may come as a surprise to you, but I’m not a fan of fairy tales. I’ve never understood our society’s fascination with the anthropomorphization of farm animals to get a point across.  Granted, there is some appeal to it. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Disney would never have become a thing. Still, I don’t need […]

    Requiem for a Video

    by
    Because it’s such an amazing piece, I feel I have to clarify this point: the song title is “Lux Aeterna” – not “Requiem for a Dream”. The latter is the name of the movie, but for some reason it’s been confused with the song. Probably because the song is so powerful, but hell the movie […]

    Solve Et Coagula

    by
    Solve Et Coagula. In simple terms, it means something must first be broken down before it can be built up. “Solve” or “solutio” refers to the breaking down of elements and “Coagula” refers to their coming together.  It’s the Classical Latin way of what I refer to as “Eating the Elephant”; to consume the whole, […]

    Moon Graffiti

    by
    So what makes a good, convincing audio drama? Is it the story? The sounds? The subtle layering of music timed perfectly against the unspoken tone? Or is the story itself? It’s all of the above, and then some. The object of a story is to communicate an idea (and that’s Art). Art is nothing more […]

    Considering Audio

    by
    Video killed the radio star. We can’t rewind and we’ve gone too far. Translated into artistic-speak, television killed creativity. It ripped away the ability of the end user to think and tossed it in the garbage. Television painted the entire picture via cathode ray tube onto a glass screen, requiring nothing of the viewer. Sit […]

    Design Blitz – Food and Design

    by
    Graphic design is found in more than just slick advertisements and pictures. It’s present in nearly all of the media we see daily. People care about the way products are presented to them – an idea which isn’t lost on the companies selling us those products. These companies employ basic principles of graphic design in […]

    Design Reflection

    by
    There’s an underlying science to design. It’s really one of those weird gray areas (pun intended) where technique seems to blend with pure taste. You, the artist, and the seasoning which you flavor your design with is just as import as the underlying concepts. However, you need to ensure you don’t neglect design theories altogether. […]
