I’m most definitely at the beginning stages of sign language. This pays a quick homage to the people I hope to continue learning with. Link…

Let’s Make Art! Link to Assignment: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/sixsecondart/ Stars: 3.5 Process: I recorded seven seconds of video using an iPhone SE, and trimmed off an extra…

Week 9!!! This week we got into Reading Movies… we transitioned from audio to video and looked at how a movie really comes together using cinematic camerawork. I started this week by reading Roger Eberts, How to read a movie article and watching videos from Tony Zhous, Every frame a painting  series. There was many points that I was … Continue reading Week 9

For this assignment I had to create a tutorial for something. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be because it was hard to find the correct video height, lighting, and an idea. I chose to french braid my cousins hair (this was her idea, not mine. So thank you Kristi). I ...

Notorious By: Alfred Hitchcock A huge part of this week was to read and understand how to read a movie… then create a video essay.. analyzing it from what we learned. We were required to read, How to read a movie by Robert Ebert, as well as watch videos from Tony Zhous, Every frame a painting series. The article … Continue reading Video Essay

Your Dream As A Movie Trailer This video assignment is worth 4 stars, and we were to put together a 30 second movie trailer telling a story of your life dream using photos, videos, music, and text. I used iMovie to create this assignment and it is about my real dream to be a nurse … Continue reading Video Assignments

Here are my two daily creates for the week. Finish the story  Street View on Google  

This assignment took a spin on the six word story and six word quote ideas and had me do six second art. This was a tough one, not because of the art but because it took me like ten tries to fit what I wanted to draw into only six seconds. I thought a fun […]

For this assignment, I had to take a video with Vine of a moving object. This might be the last time I am able to do this because I heard today the Twitter is discontinuing Vine! It doesn’t make sense because so many people use Vine. I decided to take a vine of my roller […]

For this assignment, my mission was to spell a word in sign language. I came up with a word immediately, but I realized that there was actually one sign for the specific word, rather than spelling it out. This word is one of the few words I know in sign language, and I learned it […]

For this assignment I had to create an arts and crafts tutorial on how to make something. This caught my eye because I have a sewing business and make children’s clothing, bedding (quilts), and some items for adults. I thought that it would be a really cool experience. It was a lot harder than I ...

For today’s Daily Create, I had to finish a story by @MagicRealismBot. I came up with this: @MagicRealismBot @ds106dc The orc showed the dentist a piano made of teeth and the dentist had a heart attack and died #tdc1755 — Maureen (@gingerchic21) October 28, 2016

I chose to complete the video assignment “What do you do?” for 4.5 stars. This was a little over-rated in my opinion because this was simple to create with minimal editing. The only “complicated” part was deciding what to do because there are a ton of things that get done every day. We had to ...

Assignment 3: What do you do? (4 stars) For this assignment, I had to make a video of myself doing something I do every day. I decided to record my breakfast experience. Every morning after practice, my teammates and I race to the UC to eat breakfast after a hard and long workout. This is […]

For this assignment I decided to record myself doing one of my favorite activities, hiking. We decided to hike Old...

We did two Daily Creates this week: I really really enjoyed this one! They gave us an opening sentence and we were told to make up a story around it. I love making up stories so I was super excited to get started on this one. It’s nice to take some time and get creative sometimes. […]

As week 9 comes to an end, I am here to share my tweets for this week! My mother was the first born in America. Her mother was born in England so I have a lot of family still over in England. My dream is to go and visit everyone over there! The photos I ...

For the assignment “Signing Words” (rated 4 1/2 stars, I rated it 3), I tried to spell a word in American Sign Language. I have never signed anything in my life other than “Jesus” and “barf” (don’t ask). I had a few outtakes, mostly of misspelling the word I chose. I actually suck at spelling, … Continue reading Trying to Spell: The Eternal Struggle →

For my last assignment, I recorded a product review on my cat. This assignment was pretty simple. I just recorded myself using my phone (next time I would turn it the other way…it bugs me) and ranted about the hatred of this cat that lives in my house. I then uploaded the clips into iMovie, sorted them, … Continue reading Review on my cat

For another assignment, I got some information about socks. My assignment was to interview people off guard about their opinions on a subject and record their reactions. I interviewed some friends tonight and recorded their reactions, and I was not disappointed. First, I recorded everyone I wanted to interview on my iPhone, I was surprised … Continue reading Opinions on Socks

I’ve been enjoying these unconventional combinations of audio and video editing, so I decided to try my hand at this one.  I decided to use the scene where Mulan and the rest of the Chinese army find the burned out village, and overlay Simon and Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence (as I felt the somber […]

In this video tutorial (How to Video, 4 1/2 stars), I showed how to fold an origami paper crane– pretty much what it says on the tin. I learned how to do this when I lived in Japan (5th and 6th grade); the older kids were going on a trip to Hiroshima, and for a … Continue reading How to Fold a Paper Crane →

The last assignment I did this week was making a video montage of a special person. It was worth 5 stars. I picked my dad. He has been my number one fan my whole life. My dad attended every dance recital, band concert, soccer game and so many other events. I am really lucky to … Continue reading My Dad

I enjoy watching America’s Funniest Home Videos, which often have an instant replay effect, so I thought I’d try my hand at this assignment.  I chose a ridiculous scene from Xena: Warrior Princess, where the protagonist makes an incredibly cheesy gravity-defying leap.  I did a quick Google Search to determine how to use slow motion […]

I loved the idea of making a serious movie funny, so I took this assignment and ran with it.  I began by selecting my two scenes to mashup.  For my serious scene I chose the reentry clip from Gravity (one of my favorite movies).  Then I chose the proton pack scene from Ghostbusters as my […]

Choosing the right scene for my video essay was sort of challenging. I really wanted to have a scene that...

To be perfectly honest, perhaps the hardest aspect of this assignment was finding a suitable movie scene to analyze.  I wanted to ensure that it was meaningful to me, while also selecting a scene that was not dialogue-centric (as I figured it would be difficult to successfully overlap narration and dialogue without the piece becoming […]

Not my idea of active learning. @ds106dc #tdc1754 pic.twitter.com/5vK91OE7Af — Matthew Froelich (@FroelichMatthew) October 28, 2016 For today’s daily create we had to make a video or image of what thought active learning is ( or isn’t). I made an image of a surfer with some books. I thought surfing would be one of the … Continue reading TDC 10/27 →

A silly taxonomist who is running away from an understanding nuclear physicist in an enchanted oil freighter. @ds106dc #tdc1753 pic.twitter.com/Voh65kpAK2 — Matthew Froelich (@FroelichMatthew) October 26, 2016 For the Daily create on Wednesday we had to use a website that generates a random story We then had to use five pictures to write a story based … Continue reading TDC 10/26 →
