So I was recently incredibly inspired by a television commercial I saw a couple weeks ago while watching the 2016 presidential election. Its a campaign launched by Pandora Radio, an online streaming radio station, called “The Next Song Matters”. You can watch the commercial below-   It really just changed my whole way of processing … Continue reading "Final project Brainstorm week 12"

Im ready for my close up -4stars- #MashupAssignments1945 I made this graphic on Microsoft power point. I always enjoy utilizing Microsoft Powerpoint because the program has has a really cool feature with pictures AND videos assessable to anyone who has the program. Under “Format Picture” there is an option to “remove background”. This gives you … Continue reading "Mashup Assignments week 11"

Remember, remember…to do today’s Daily Create. This one had me write a three line poem about lemons without using the words lemon, yellow, round, fruit, citrus, tart, juicy, peel, or sour.

Well this week started off good. I had taken my videos by Wednesday. Then I ran into the editing process and realized by the finished the 1st one that it was going to be a pain. But that wasn’t as bad as my computer taking forever to upload everything thing to Youtube. It took about […]

This is a  video of my one of my daily routine. Making myself a latte each morning. It is a bit late but that’s because my laptop is old and protesting uploading these videos. Either way here it is and upon doing this one I had filmed me making my breakfast that morning but that […]

Another super busy week for me. This is all getting harder to keep up with as the semester goes on. 1) Daily Creates Did three this week: @ds106dc sol invictus has a bunch of solar-powered powers#tdc1759 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/4gdZf8cGDF — Evan May (@_evanmay_) November 1, 2016 I actually have a superhero-based...

★★★★½ So I saw this assignment and knew I had to try doing it. Unfortunately, Movie Maker isn’t the best at making this appear silent movie-y, but I tried my best. I went onto YouTube and looked around for random scenes from movies that I could possibly use. I ended up...

The 3 1/2 star “My Favorite Thing to Do”. This one was pretty simple in theory, and a lot more complicated in execution. What’s pretty much my only hobby that’s a) interesting to actually watch and b) doesn’t require me to ask a coach to film me? Video games! Ok, so how do you film … Continue reading My Favorite Thing to Do: Video Games! →

(…Why did this embed so big??) For the 4 1/2 star “Classical-Modern Mashup” assignment, I mixed the music video to Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own” with Chopin’s Waltz No. 12. This one was pretty hard; the rating is maybe a bit high, but far more accurate than other ratings I’ve seen. At first, I really wanted … Continue reading Music Mixup Mash: Waltzing “on My Own” →

So this was a 3 and half star assignment. I picked this one because the night before all the used sticky notes around my computer that I didn’t need any more became origami swans. So upon looking at the assignments I saw an arts and craft tutorial assignment and I went “Cool, I can make an […]

This week was unusually busy and thus resulted doing assignments and daily creates in strange bursts rather than spread out across the week. While it…

I really, really like space, guys. Seriously. For the 4-star “Compilation Video!” assignment, I chose the theme of space! I’ve been planning out what I wanted to use all week, and I didn’t realize until I went back and looked at the assignment sheet that they chose shuttle launches. Oh, well. I included a full … Continue reading SPACE: THE FINAL FRONTIER →

★★★★★ Didn’t expect to have to use Morse code in a video assignment! With this assignment though, I have to. I headed over to this really cool site to brush up on my Morse code. I could’ve just used a cheat sheet or something, but that site’s more fun. I needed...

A task for Week 9 was to read the source material and review a movie scene. Process: As a review piece, I used a scene…

HERES TO ANOTHER GREAT WEEK!!! I am a huge movie fan and the fact we were able to do 2 weeks worth of video based assignments was awesome…. and a lot of fun for me to complete!!

This week we were to do 12 stars worth of video assignments from the ds106 assignment bank… focusing on not the technical part of making movies but more of the storytelling aspect behind what the videos are conveying. Signing words This assignment was worth 4 stars and asked to take a video of myself or … Continue reading making movies…

The assignments this week allowed me to continue to stretch my video-editing skills.  Two of these projects directly related to finding particular patterns/tropes across film.  For example, for one of the assignments I found five instances of the reluctant hero trope, while for another I made a supercut of dramatic screaming in movies.  Both remind […]

While I have made it though these last two weeks, they have been my least favorite weeks of the class to be honest. I like audio and other things but this video is killer. Here is what I have done for the week! Assignment 1: Classical-Modern Mashup Assignment 2: College Memories Assignment 3: Morse Code … Continue reading "Weekly Summary"
