Someone in my Twitterverse retweeted a Washington Post article on the fake news problem that’s been going around. Google’s top news link for “final election results” goes to a fake news site with false numbershttps://t.co/tlYX4eJWTq — Washington Post (@washingtonpost) November … Continue reading →

Because of a lot of stuff going on in my personal life this week, I didn’t get around to doing all the assignments this week. I did do the Daily Creates though. Here are my posts from this week: Daily Create 11/6/16 Daily Create 11/5/16

I’ve been super bummed out this week because of the election, so work has been super slow-going. Still managed to finish everything pretty much on time. Making the tutorial put me a little past midnight, but only because the stupid program crashed three times while I was trying to save. Anyways,...

Looks like I’m going to be submitting my Weekly Summary a little late this week. I made a video tutorial for the DS106 Propaganda Poster. To be specific, I made a video tutorial for that assignment four times. I used a program called CamStudio to record my screen as I was...

WOW it’s week 11… how this class has flown by… This week we got into Remix and Mashups. I learned a lot about the difference between what a Remix and Mashup are actually when referring to creating them. This week we worked on 12 stars worth of Mashup Assignments… these varied from video clips put … Continue reading Weekkkkk 11

This week I was able to get more practice using Movie Maker. I had fun with these mashup and remix...

I have gotten to practice using Windows Movie Maker, so I chose to make a tutorial on how to use...

This week was much better after two weeks of video editing! Here is the rundown for what I did this week: Daily Create 1: Daily Create 1: Memorabilia Daily Create 2: Daily Create 2: Beauty Assignment 1: Two Movies, One Line Assignment 2: This doesn’t belong here, with a remix Assignment 3: Emoji Remixxx Gimp … Continue reading "Weekly Summary"

The third and final assignment I did for the week was mashing emojis and friends! Regularly you would take an emoji and have a friend mimic that emoji, but with the remix I am supposed to introduce Dr. Seu ss into the assignment. So my idea was to take the iconic grinch from Dr. Seuss … Continue reading "Emoji Remixxx"

This week we were to complete 12 stars worth of Mashup Assignments and 2 Remix Assignments on the Assignment Bank site. Mashing Friends and Emojis For this assignment we were to take a picture of one of our  friends or just a person that is in the moment doing something exactly like an emoji and … Continue reading Mashup and Remix Assignments

After finishing my first remix assignment, I kept clicking on the random remix button until I got a new one that sounded good. I got this one. Since the assignment wants me to take a picture of something and make it unrecognisable, while the remix card wants me to add...

I just realized I hadn’t done my tutorial yet when- lo and behold! I see there’s no tutorial for the assignment I just completed! And it’s still fresh in my brain! Sign from God. First, you need to download the 4k Video Downloader. Google “4k video downloader” and click on the second link down. It … Continue reading Tutorial: Video Mashup →

This remix assignment was called “turn up the cheese”. It required making a good assignment bad. I chose to do...

The first remix I did was called “Countrify It”, which required me to add a country song to an old...

My final mashup assignment was “The Contest Nobody Could Win (Video-Mashup Edition” (4 stars). The hardest part of this was figuring out 6 movies that I liked and wanted to mash. The next hardest was figuring out what clips I wanted to use. Honestly, some of these are dead giveaways. That’s why I stuck the … Continue reading The Impossible Challenge →

For my first remix assignment, I wanted to use something I’d previously made and remix it. I clicked on the Random button on the remix page until I got an assignment I’d done before. I ended up getting a remixed version of the DS106 Propaganda Poster assignment where I have to...

I’m back! After two weeks of being crazy sick and trying to get my life together, I’m here! I’ve missed the fun creativity this class has to offer. Going through and deciding what assignments I want to do and how I can make them is so freeing compared to all of my other classes. The […]

I love movies so this was a treat. To make this masterpiece I only needed some pictures from google and photoshop. Oh Dirty Dancing, so romantic… it would be a shame if something happened. Insert Jack Nicholson saying “Heereess Johnny” here. I honestly think that is one of the most iconic movie scenes in history, […]

This assignment is super easy todo, you just need an idea and the ability to edit an image. I actually got my idea from the famous movie scene assignment, and decided to use the close up of Laurence Fishburne’s face from the matrix. But instead of Nero reflecting, who would be there? Only the most […]

Part of the reason I like fall so much is because from October to December we have my 3 favorite holidays! Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. So Candy, Food, and Presents. What can be more magical than that? Answer: nothing. To make this mashup masterpiece I consulted google to find many different clipart pictures. I wanted […]

★★★★☆ Third and last assignment is one where I have to subtly add something from one movie into a scene from a different movie. A couple years ago when I heard they were making the movie Nightcrawler, I thought it was going to be about the X-Men character Nightcrawler (hint: it...

This assignment, “This Doesn’t Belong Here” (4 stars), requires a mashup of two famous movie scenes. I love both the Princess Bride and the Indiana Jones series, so I decided to mix up those two. I chose the scene from the Princess Bride when Inigo Montoya kills the six-fingered man and the scene from Indiana Jones … Continue reading The Princess Bride and the Last Crusade →

What says I love you more than a letter in another language? Well, a lot of things since my mom can’t read Chinese. All jokes aside, I decided to do this assignment because the last two weeks have been hell. Life decided to take a massive dump on me and broke down. I needed my […]

★★★★½ Similar to the last assignment I did, I found this movie mashup assignment, where I have to make a movie poster for a mashup movie. Instead of choosing two movies to mash up, I chose a mixture of movies and TV shows. To be specific, I mashed up Star Wars, Star...

Remixes! Assigments: Week 11 pt. 1: This Doesn’t Belong Here Week 11 pt. 2: Consumer Mashup Daily Creates: Week 11: Daily Create

This week was a lot of fun in ds106. I was excited to do mashups because I’ve always enjoyed mashup music. Doing the assignments was kind of like doing a hybrid of all the other assignment types. We also did a tutorial, which is something I’ve always wondered about. So, without further ado: Highlight Reels … Continue reading Weekly Summary 11 →

This assignment was AWESOME! I already liked the original a lot, but then the remixed version blew me away. The original was to create a voice over for a music video, and the remix wanted me to add some your momma jokes. So, I downloaded a video editor and got to work. I wanted my […]
