★★★½

★★★★½ I’m going to get my money’s worth for that copy of Akira I had to find for that last assignment. I decided to make another video using the movie; to be specific, I’m doing the instant replay assignment. Pretty early in the movie, Tetsuo, Kaneda, and the other members...

★★★★★ I decided to do the supercut assignment with a movie I like a lot, Akira. Two of the main characters, Tetsuo and Kaneda, call each other’s names a lot during the course of the movie, to the point that it’s become something of a joke amongst people who’ve seen the...

This was a fun week in ds106. It was very interesting to see the ins and outs of making a film. The video essay was where I learned the most so i’ll start there. Video Essay Roger Ebert and Tony Zhou discussed all of the different elements that go into creating a film. It was … Continue reading Week 9 Summary →

For my video essay I chose to do a few different scenes from the Shawshank Redemption. The reason I chose these scenes is because they are basically the same thing over and over again with the same outcome except for the last one. I thought this would be good for this assignment because it gives … Continue reading Video Essay →

I am an avid lover of all things film-related, so I had a lot of fun this week.  The video essay reminded me greatly of my Introduction to Cinema Studies class I took last semester.  Excellent throwback.  Moving into the assignments allowed me to make some hilarious pieces.  I was able to mashup Ghostbusters and […]

I liked the idea of condensing a movie into its essential scenes, so I decided to try my hand at this assignment.  It reminded me of movie trailers (which are often critiqued for giving away major plot points).  After selecting Aliens as my movie of choice, I spliced what I considered to be the essential […]

This has been my least favorite week so far. I have never done any video editing, so everything made me really frustrated and I didn’t necessarily like it. Here are my assignments: Scene Analysis Video Montage Socks product review @ds106dc #tdc1755 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/ulqe8c1uDZ — Kristin (@kristinoconnn) October 28, 2016

Making videos was very difficult. I struggled to learn how to use the applications intended to edit video. Unlike in week 4, I didn’t stop when i couldn’t figure it out. My work turned out fine but it could have been better. Here is my work: Video Assignments http://bobbybobbles.com/uncategorized/connected-clips-2/ http://bobbybobbles.com/uncategorized/connected-clips/ http://bobbybobbles.com/uncategorized/ryan-gosling-wont-eat-his-cereal/ Daily Creates https://twitter.com/bobby_bobs114/status/792104074237837312 https://twitter.com/bobby_bobs114/status/790957382805454848

For my connected clip I decided to clip every scene in Avatar the last Airbender where Zuko says the word honor. A reacurring theme in the show is the character, Zuko, trying to redeem himself. He says the work honor a lot but not as much as I expected...

I decided to create a shorter version of Zootopia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-6vlMmGGvE

Video week 1 was fun! I got to make several short videos for the assignments and a video essay about the scene where Rue dies in the Hunger Games. I look forward to next week! Here are all my posts from this week: Daily Create 10/24/16 Daily Create 10/28/16 Sign Language Go Roller Skate Go! […]

For my video essay, I chose the notorious love story of Edward Cullen and Bella. Immediately upon learning about this assignment I thought of the scene where Bella had just gave birth and was in the process of changing into a vampire. Because she unconscious, we don’t know this right away. For the process of ...

For my video essay, I had to think about movie scenes which were especially powerful to me. Instead of doing multiple scenes, we were to pick just one. I came up with the scene from the Hunger Games where Rue dies. It is an incredibly powerful scene. I used Audacity to record my commentary on […]

For this video assignment we had to create a 30 second spoiler for a movie. I decided to go with Star Wars: The Force Awakens because it had a very big moment at the end that made Star Wars fans across the world very angry. If you haven’t seen the movie you probably shouldn’t watch … Continue reading Spoiler Alert (3.5 Stars) →

For this assignment we were suppose to make a video of a person on tv rejecting food that is being offered to them. I used a scene from Rupaul’s Drag race where a queen gets eliminated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewetGWUTfZY

I did the sports mashup assignment for one of my video assignments. The topic of my montage is the NBA playoffs. I chose this because one of the things that the assignment wanted us to emphasize was the arc of ambition. I thought that the NBA playoffs were a very good example of this, since … Continue reading Sports Mashup (4.5 stars) →

This week I discovered I am not much of a fan of video editing… I like audio much more. Pulling the components together to create a successful video is quite difficult so shout out to all of you that love this. Here is what I did this week: Video Essay: Shawshank Redemption Video Essay Assignment … Continue reading "Weekly Summary!"

The second daily create I did this week was a question. “What is active learning to you?” My response was DS106 duh! #tdc1754 @ds106dc Active learning to me is DS106! pic.twitter.com/S2yy9zuRjh — Ben Sorensen (@bensorense) October 27, 2016  

The first daily create that I did this week was to find something on Google street view and post it on twitter! This was one of the featured items and I thought it was a cool piece of art! @ds106dc #tdc1751 Floating Piers in Italy! pic.twitter.com/xkFD...

  For my video essay I did the closing scene of Shawshank redemption, one of my favorite movies. This assignment really put my skills to the test and I am still not super happy with it. To create this I opened the video in youtube and muted it. I then went through and recorded myself … Continue reading "Shawshank Redemption Video Essay"

My last assignment for the week was to sign a word so that someone out there can guess what I am saying! I will give you a hint that it pertains to our class. To make this I opened photobooth on my mac and then recorded myself signing the word. Exported that to Imovie and … Continue reading "Sign Language"

This week went fairly smoothly. I enjoyed all the projects, but I think my favorite was the video essay. Like...

For this assignment I wanted the song to fit perfectly with the scene. This required extensive research for both footage...

This scene from “The Dark Knight” is of my favorite scenes of all time, partly because I love Heath Ledger’s Joker,but also that this scene is executed extremely well in my opinion.  The beginning of the scene introduces edge and suspense, and the masks the robbers are using are infallible.  There is no dictated audio … Continue reading "Scene Analysis of “The Dark Knight” Starring Heath Ledger’s Joker"

In the spirit of Halloween, I decided to create a tutorial video for paper claws. I remember making these all...
