    Lock Stock and Two Smoking Pokemons

    by
    This Audio Assignment focuses on creating a mashup of two films.  I took the films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and mixed it up with clips from the Pokemon Movie.  I inserted replies from the Pokemon to Rory Breaker’s rant where he goes on a rant about various scenarios where he will kill Nick […]

    911 emergency! I don’t have shorts.

    by
    I find picking the assignments from the bank can be fun and interesting if you go a few pages into the list. This time I found one for doing a mock 911 call and recording it. But in the spirit of the layering ideas the professor wants us to do. I decided to add in […]

    Missed Connections…A New Take

    by
    I got my inspiration for this week’s DS106 audio assignment by reading a follow classmate’s blog on Craig’s List’s Missed Connections. Truth be told…I’ve never been on Craig’s List. But, I read her “Missed Connections” interpretation and got inspired. Since this week is all about audio and using sounds and audio to tell a story, […]

    Tell me a story about Chicago, Mr River.

    by
    For my next thought on something in the real world that could use a story I was reminded how fun it is to have a friend play tour guide when you are in a city. This past week I was in Chicago and a friend was taking me around the Magnificent Mile telling me about […]

    Making sounds is hard!

    by
    Write a blog post that includes an embedded version of your foley recording. Include your list of brainstormed sounds and the objects or methods used to create the sounds. What was the experience like? So this assignment really sounds fun to create the sound effects for a film. I have actually done this one other […]

    Final Project Idea: Self Help…for Fonts!

    by
    Last week, I proposed doing a final project on how the usage of fonts can create a mixed message. The professor suggested creating a self-help group for misunderstood fonts. That got me thinking…could I create a story about a misunderstood font and his bad news bears group of friends – other fonts with other notorious reputations. Based on Pixar’s […]

    The lake is calling me

    by
    Create a story made only of sound effects, the Sound Effects Story assignment — a story told in five or more different sounds. This assignment will be interesting to think through a story without dialogue but the other examples worked well so I think I can do it. I like the alien one for sure […]

    Wedding Bells

    by
    My sister is getting married in about 6 weeks. So, wedding bells and relationships are hot topics within my family. One of the comments that everyone keeps telling my sister is how fast the wedding day actually will go. They then usually proceed to ask my sister when she’s planning on having kids! Talk about […]

    Hello, Goodbye Gus-topher Robin (Sound Effect Story)

    by
    This exercise focused on building my familiarity with the sound recording, audio editing/mixing using Audacity to pull together a story (using previous course concepts), and finally upload the story to my newly created SoundCloud account.  The goal of this exercise was to take a collection of my own clips, along with clips available online (I used Freesounds), and […]

    This is Sammy Sparks reporting for WKLMTZ…

    by
    Recording my own voice…the thought terrifies me! So, when I saw the assignment to record myself pretending to be a newscaster, I got a little freaked out. I also realized that I would have to learn how to use yet another new tool, SoundCloud [since this is audio week, I'll let you know that I let […]

    Tis the Season…Where Baseball meets the (Sound)Cloud

    by
    This week’s activities kick off with (re)creating my presence in the SoundCloud. I had an account once-upon-a-time, but I was mostly a taker and not a giver. This week I will be trying my hand at using Audacity and some sound bits captured over Easter weekend to manipulate, cut, and piece together stories. I’ve always […]

    No clouds here just nice sound weather to report

    by
    Create your own account on SoundCloud.com, write a blog post that embeds your audio directly into the post. I was glad to see this week we could use soundcloud.com for our assignments. I have known about this site for years and used it to hear my favorite dj remixes or other random songs. However, I […]

    Storifying – Take 5!

    by
    For this week I have chosen my 1994 Acura Integra. A car, really? At first I didn’t think it would apply, but taking a deeper look, I realized it’s filled with stories and elements that could carve its own story. What made me think of it was the fact that it is now 20 years […]

    Hear Sally Run

    by
    To complete this first assignment for the week, I decided to start with the story before exploring the sounds. I thought about a story that I wanted to convey through sound, and wanted to incorporate something that everyone could relate to. … Continue reading

    Chaplin Foley – ROARing Lion!

    by
    Foley sound, which is defined by Wikipedia as the reproduction of everyday sound effects, was the basis for this assignment – creating sound effects completely on our own to mirror a section of a Charlie Chaplin film. The section of the film that I was responsible for was from marker 1:31 to 2:00 and my […]

    Sound Effects Story – Stress Relief!

    by
    The sounds effects story assignment requires the user to find a collection of sound effects online and any self-recorded audio to create a story using only effects and no dialogue. For my sound effects story I chose to convey a stressful mood of someone then change that mood into relief, or happiness. From a story […]
