The first task of Week 10 has been to learn how to read movies. We all know how to watch movies, but can we all read them? I’m a Communications and Digital Studies major. For one of the elective requirements, I took Intro to Cinema Studies here at UMW last semester. Here I thought that […]
Everybody created their own plots for the radio project – it was awesome to hear what some came up with! Besides that, plenty happened this week… So what happened? Daily Creates @ds106dc This is definitely not an owl.#theend106 #ds106 #tdc2264 pic.twitter.com/o5xm5oZbOw — Christopher Ringham (@Chris_tastrophe) March 22, 2018 @ds106dc I’m allergic to […]
Alt-F4 The process of creating this project was really fun! Ideas came easily with such a creative group to work with. That being said, it took much longer than I thought it would. Audio editing certainly takes a lot of time. I’m glad we decided to do the faux listener call-ins by recording over the […]
It has been a great week! Week 9 began with with my group’s radio show, Girls’ Guide to/for/through the Apocalypse. It aired on DS106 Radio on Tuesday night. It was so much fun getting to hear our show on the air. We all worked so hard on it, and it was so exciting to know that anyone could […]
I decided to revise the song I posted originally in my Play the DJ assignment. I thought the middle part was a bit plain and the ending came too suddenly, so I changed it up. It’s fun to revisit an old project and rework it. You come in with fresh perspective. I feel like I […]
On Tuesday, March 20th, my survivalist group’s radio show aired on DS106 Radio. It was so exciting to listen to something that we all worked so hard on on a platform where anyone and everyone could hear it! Rachel did a wonderful job editing everything together. There was one moment that the volume was a […]
One of my assignments this week was to remix/redo/update a project that I have already completed during this semester. I decided that I would redo the three-star assignment “Haiku it up” from the writing assignment bank. The original was posted on February 3rd, and it is now March 25th! The first time around, this was […]
A few years ago, for DS106, I was part of a group that did a collaborative radio project that centered on the art of remixing. My segment centered around an activity I do with my sixth grade students, remixing and hacking the game of chess to create something new altogether. It is part of our […]
This week was the unveiling of our radio shows, a few daily creates, and reflections of how we did our book covers differently. I was ever so glad to show the DS106 class our finally project that my group had created. The stress of completing this project was a little daunting at first, but after …
So I decided to revised my book cover for the book World War Z here is my original book cover I had created using GIMP. If I recall right this was my first picture/project used on GIMP so I was learning as I went and this was the best I could do at the time. …
Below is the resume of my character, Lorraine Baxter. She is the “shepherd,” so she is keen on getting to know people personally, connecting, and considering the health and safety of others during times of tribulation. She has a background in photography, cinematography, communications, and rhetoric. She has worked at a variety of places since …
So I decided to be wild tonight and I stayed up for not just one, but two radio broadcasts on ds106Radio, look at me go!!!! Here are my reflections for “Girls Guide to/for/through the Apocalypse” and “The Eagle Report” stated below: “Girl’s Guide to/for/through the Apocalypse” I really enjoyed the format of the whole …
I loved working with audio this week – I picked up some skills with crossfading clips, looping, and adding reverb in audacity. I’ll never forget you radio-project-week, you will be missed: So, what happened? Daily Creates @ds106dc I’m afraid of becoming this really huge bald guy who steals innocent people’s lunch money instead […]
Well it was certainly a journey – thank you to all of the great group members I worked with: Katie, Jenn, and Daniel. We spent the early week recording our audio, and the remainder of the time editing (which took a long time). Especially when we misplaced one of our fully edited episodes. Jenn was awesome and […]
Hello! I had a wonderful spring break and I wish I could have about two more weeks of it. Unfortunately, I had to come back to the real world. I went down to Kiawah Island in South Carolina to visit family. Kiawah is a very special place for my family and me. We have celebrated […]
So the past week was a week of relaxation for me from the hustle and bustle of classes everyday of the week. Over the past few weeks I have made numerous Daily Creates, a poster for our Radio show, and collaborated with my group Apocalyptic Airwave on our radio show. So over Spring break my …
My group and I met Wednesday night to record and edit our radio show, “Girls’ Guide to the Apocalypse,” which will be airing on DS106 Radio next week! Keep your ears open for it! We met in the vocal booth in the HCC to record all of our segments, bumpers, and more! After overcoming a […]
I made a digital postcard to commemorate the students from Granada Hills High School in Southern California (and in cities in all fifty states) who walked out of their classes, staged demonstrations and observed a moment of silence in honor of the fourteen students and three adult staff killed a month ago at Marjory Stoneman […]
A couple of weeks ago Paul Bond reached out asking if I wanted to discuss Jack London’s 1908 dystopian novel The Iron Heel. I had recently read White Fang with my kids, so I was definitely game. I had heard … Continue reading →
First Check-In Well, our radio team met up and we decided on the name Alt-F4. It’s the shortcut key combo for ending a process – this is 1) an end, and 2) digitally related. The squad also brain stormed the general idea of the way our project will go. You know those “found-footage” films? We’re thinking […]
This week, I have started working with my survivalist group! We met up tonight and started the process of creating our radio show! Are you ready for the reveal? Yes? Our radio show’s name is “Girls’ Guide for the Apocalypse” and I love the name so much! When we were brainstorming ideas for the name, […]
This week I started off with the Daily Creates which you can find on my twitter. After that, I began watching the videos from Paula and David to see what their insights were on the different styles and approaches to design. I enjoyed Paula’s presentation on the differences between being solemn and serious regarding one’s …
Design Reflection: I enjoyed Paula’s presentation on the differences between being solemn and serious regarding one’s approach to design. Because I am an artist, and do some graphic design myself, I feel like I can relate directly to what she is talking about. Sometimes I find myself being stuck between being solemn and serious when …
Lets quickly address that, apparently, designer jeans don’t help you design. The name of designer jeans are misleading, just like the title of my post because I barely mention Squidward at all. Moving on: Week 6 is over, and it was all about design. Overall, a pretty cool week that definitely challenged me to learn […]
