For this assignment I created a highlight reel of soccer player Lionel Messi. First, I went on Youtube and began...

This week was very interesting. It was fun making different videos and doing some editing. It’s something that I’ve never done before so I am a bit of a novice which probably shows in my videos. I used Windows Movie Maker and a program called Movavi to make all of my videos. How To Video … Continue reading Weekly Summary 10 →

For my last video assignment I picked an assignment that one of classmates, Kristin O’Connell, made. Not a lot of people make their own assignments so I wanted to do this one. I also picked this because I wanted to pick an assignment that went along with the theme of the class. I thought this … Continue reading Where do your Shoes take you? (4 stars) →

The second daily create I did this week was all about pumpkin! I thought of every common food that we eat and there were recipes for almost everything!

Week 10 was surprising easy. Because week 10 was a continuation of week 9, it make me more time to learn how use the tech that is need and reenforce these new techniques.  The assignments were easier to handle because we had learned what doesn’t work last week. Here is the work that I was … Continue reading "Week 10"

This assign was a lot of fun. I had to take a pop song and put a classical song over it to make it look like the pop artist was dancing to the classical music. Here is the video that I produced

The challenge for this assignment was to make a 5 second funny video. It was just like making a vine. For my video I decided to expose how gross my roommate is. Sorry for the language.  

For this assignment we had to find a video of an animal dancing and put music over it. I decided to look up corgis because I think they are some of the cutest dogs. Here is the video I made:

I did this assignment for one of my assignments this week. We had to pick our favorite athlete and make a highlight reel for them. Last week I did the Sports Mashup assignment where I did a music mash up of different sports plays so this was very similar. I don’t really have a favorite … Continue reading Aaron Rodgers Highlight Reels (5 Stars) →

I came up with what I wanted to say in morse code and then … Continue reading "Morse Code Challenge"

For this (4 stars) I had to make a 2 minute documentary of something. I actually created this assignment based on a spin off of another assignment. I couldn’t make my documentary in 30 seconds so why not have a longer version! Wether you are showing how to make something, how to do a job, doing something that you’re really good […]

For my second assignment of the week I created my first assignment! I came up with the idea as I went through photos from the last few years and realized I have done some pretty cool things.

Once I found … Continue reading "Classical-Modern Mashup"

I did this assignment because I noticed it as I was getting ready to take my daily walk down my driveway to get my mail. I had enough to complete the 12 stars needed but I also decided that I would go ahead and do this one too. So I took off on my journey […]

Leaving Skystead I hitchhiked with some nuns in a band all the way to Westray @ds106dc #tdc1762 #ds106 — Matthew Froelich (@FroelichMatthew) November 4, 2016 For today’s daily create we had to use a random town generator to tell a story of traveling between two towns. It was kind of hard to do since we … Continue reading TDC 11/4 →

I chose to do the how to video assignment for one of my video assignments this week. I was looking for an assignment to tie into the theme of our course and I thought this would work well since the course is about using the internet to tell a story. Since we used the Mozilla … Continue reading How To Video (4.5 stars) →

For yesterday’s Daily Create we had to create a pumpkin spice version o a product since it’s November and everyone likes pumpkin flavored everything. I wanted to do something cool where I made like a pumpkin spice flavored pop tart box that looked legitimate, but my Photoshop skills would not allow it. I ended up … Continue reading TDC 11/3 →

For the Daily Create on Wednesday we had to create a gif of a person walking. I may have stretched the rules a little and did a gif o Ron Swanson dancing on Parks and Recreation. Honestly, I thought this was a funny scene from the show and saw it as a good opportunity to … Continue reading TDC 11/2 →

I’ve seen supercuts circulate on the Internet before (such as the famous No compilation) so I decided to try my hand at this assignment by creating a similar one that focused on emotional screaming.  In constructing this, I noticed a particular pattern.  Most of the screams are silent, or at least have subdued music/noise in […]

The second video week was fun. My favorite part was editing a slow-mo video of my friend Riley attempting to do a flip. Here’s all my posts for the week: Daily Create 11/4/16 Riley’s Unfortunate Flip On the Daily… Favorite Internet Thing To Do Daily Create 11/3/16 Daily Create 10/31/16

This week was definitely better than last week! I am getting used to iMovie and am more comfortable making video assignments. I think I did a better job this week of using the assignments to tell stories, rather than just to get stars. Check out my work from this week: Assignments: Running in reverse Where … Continue reading Weekly Summary

For my last assignment, I chose a video to play in reverse. The funniest thing I could think of was to use a video of Usain Bolt running. He always wins races, but if he were to run in reverse he would lose. First I downloaded this video and inserted it into iMovie. Then I chose … Continue reading Usain Bolt losing a race!?

I enjoy finding patterns and commonality in movies, so I chose to explore common tropes with this assignment.  I chose to use the Reluctant Hero trope (one that is becoming especially common with the popularity of superhero films).  The characters I selected included Dr. Strange, Ripley from Aliens, Moses from The Prince of Egypt, Aragorn […]

I created an assignment this week! I rated it 4 stars, but I am going to give myself 5 stars because I came up with it 😉 The goal was to tell a story using a video of only my shoes. I told the story of my morning, and it was a lot of fun. … Continue reading Where my shoes take me

I always enjoy the mashup video projects, so I decided to try the classical mashup assignment.  I chose Sia’s new music video The Greatest as my visual content.  Since the tone of the videos is more dire (as it is a tribute to the Orlando victims) I chose to use a more dramatic classical piece, […]
