    Final Weekly Summary

    by
    Well folks… we did it! Welcome to the last weekly summary. Such a bittersweet feeling. via GIPHY The final project for this class was a fun way to stretch your brain, and use all the information and tools we learned these past 5 weeks! For my story, I turned the classic Little Mermaid story, and put a space-popstar-sad twist on it! I used a visual design element, an audio element, and a video element in my final project. I made posters, some audio clips, a gif, and a video! This was the final product: Ursula won this round… via GIPHY I also created How-To posts on how I did all my media, one for the posters, the vocals for Ariel, the dream sequence, and the gif. And for anyone who now has the song stuck in your head, here you go… When I was done with the project, I took a moment to reflect on this class, what I learned, what I would do differently next time, and what my favorite/least favorite parts were! I’m sad this class is over, I really did enjoy every part of it. I guess all I can say is…so long… farewell… via GIPHY Catch you on the flip side, 106ers! via GIPHY

    DS106 reflection

    by
    This class, Digital Storytelling, was one that I had been waiting to take since I was a freshman. I was extremely excited to start! The one real regret I have about taking this class, is that I wish I was able to do it during a full semester, not a...

    Baby Snarf

    by
    This is a ridiculous thing. It came into my head the other day and it amused at least a few of my children . . . once I explained what Snarf was. I plan to make ridiculous things more often. I initially had it up on SoundCloud but they took it down after a few hours as a copyright violation. Rather than fighting them about what my rights are, I’m just putting it up on my own site. Then I couldn’t find a decent1 Snarf gif on Giphy so I made one of those too. Nothing fancy in either case but this is the kind of useless, amusing things that I really like about digital media and the Internet. Consider it the opposite of surveillance capitalism. 1 The new Snarf is super creepy.

    Reading Movies

    by
    This task was about reading about and responding to some suggestions by Ebert about motion pictures. For the two videos I watched, I watched Kubrick // One-Point Perspective https://vimeo.com/48425421 and Examples of Editing Techniques http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Sp59lQD7Q. I found these both to be really informative as they helped me to understand the basic of what type of videos I…

    Weekly Summary 4

    by
    I’m going to be real for a second, I feel like I’ve been in a slump this week. But worry not, I was able to finish everything for this week! For starters, I learned about “reading” movies. I looked more into the editing/filming techniques. Though I learned that in one of my assignments, I misused […]

    Weekly Summary 4

    by
    Nearly there folks… nearly there. And this week it’s video week! The week I’ve been looking forward to most! via GIPHY It’s always a fun time at the movies. Watching movies together is something my brother and I do all the time. We lock ourselves in the basement, and try to make a dent in the long list of movies we made. I often fall asleep in the middle of them, but I digress. One of my favorite movies of all time is The Shining, and I got to dissect parts of it along with some Tarrantino! via GIPHY On the other side of my favorite movies list is Good Will Hunting. Who doesn’t love a good two hours of looking at Matt Damon? He’s wicked smaht. So analyzing the bar scene in that movie was really fun! Here’s some bonus Matt Damon talking about Will Hunting for your day. Then it was time to get my hands dirty with some video editing for myself! The first thing I did really didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to. Which is okay, but I wish it had because it would’ve been pretty cool! I reflect more on why I think it didn’t turn out the way I wanted in the post. I also tried to be a vlogger for the day and film my day! Luckily it was a nice day around Charleston. via GIPHY I did four daily creates this week. One for June 11th, June 13th, June 14th, and June 15th. No rest for tweeting thumbs! The fact that my plant video didn’t work as expected was definitely the biggest disappointment, but it’s okay. It’s a learning experience, and next time I try I know I need to devote the whole day to it, and make sure my SD cards are able to hold all the footage I film. My favorite part of the week was analyzing movies, because looking at movies from a different perspective is a great way to stretch the brain! I also love looking at what my classmates are doing, and how they’re developing! and… scene! That’s a wrap on week four!
