This week was a bit crazy full of video filming and editing. But it was also a lot of learning. Video Show Progress Posts Filming in Action – We did the bulk of our filming all together at once to try and get it started and working so that we would have more time for editing. […]

The video show was/is much harder than the radio show was. Since it was video we had to meet up more and get more done in short condensed times to make sure everything got done in time. It was also a lot of learning of what we could and could not do with our original […]

For the movie project, my friends and I worked on an interview with a local Fredericksburg barber. This was used for a video project for The Blue & Gray Press, UMW’s student newspaper, as well. I figured out a way to get it to work for both platform. Ethan, my spy character, is an investigative …

  For this video, I took a little field trip to downtown Fredericksburg. I found beauty in a range of things, from architecture to the sky to plants to murals. It was really fun getting out and doing something to create this video rather than just create something from my dorm room. I pieced the ... Read more

  In this video, I took multiple time lapse videos from throughout the day (from when I wasn’t at class or practice!) and put them together! Notice how in the first clip, the street light turns off and in the last clip, the streetlight turns on. Also, something to note is the shadows throughout the day. This video ... Read more

For the one-second video assignment, I took a quick video at track practice as we practiced going over steeplechase barriers. The hardest part of this was timing it to get what I needed in a one-second time frame. The other part was thinking of what I could tape for one second that could make for …

Greetings….fellow agents. Another week gone, coming closer and closer to myself….retiring from the business and moving on in the world….but enough about that! Lets.get.to.it! First up, deadly missions we need to decide which to embark on! Which is more detrimental to our survive!? Agent Smith – Mission These ideas just sprung up in my head […]

For my second assignment this week, I decided to do the What do You do? from the assignment bank. This assignment was rated 4 1/2 stars but I think it was a lot easier than most assignments. I decided to record myself doing a task that I do every single day, the most tedious task, something … Continue reading "Daily Routine"

So part of this week we are supposed to come up with an idea about a mission the whole class could potentially take on together. I think it could be interesting if maybe we split the spies up into groups all taking on the same mission all competing. Now I do not necessarily mean it […]

For the majority of the week I used YouTube Editor to bring my projects together, really made everything simple and easy to maneuver around balancing background audio, pictures, and clips. I spent the majority of the week developing my character and 2/3 projects were geared toward the final creation and what his backstory may be as well as what missions … Continue reading Week 11 Summary

For this assignment I decided to ask the class a question in the video. The question is, Who will your agent be? We decide the fate of our agents so there is potential to take it in any direction we see fit. For the mashup I used a well known clip from the series Mission Impossible in which Tom Cruise does … Continue reading Period Piece Mashup

Being at senior at UMW and having 30 days left until my last final I just couldn’t pass up the chance to complete this assignment and really reflect on all of the wonderful times I have had at not only the school but also the Fredericksburg area as a whole. I tried to include as many photos … Continue reading College Snapshot

For the bad movie review, I decided on none other than the infamous Bee movie. It’s pretty easy to rip apart such a bad movie.

For this short movie I really wanted to introduce the inspiration for my agent (Francis Underwood) which if you have seen the Netflix original House of Cards than you know fully well who I am talking about. For those of you unfamiliar with the show than allow me to give a brief description. The show … Continue reading Movie Mashup

I actually thought this one would be funny to do because no joke 80% of my life is spent doing exactly what you see me doing in the video. I am on my computer so often its not even funny. From playing video games to classwork to paid work you can almost always find me …

For this video assignment I wanted to try and capture myself doing something that I absolutely love to do which is reading. Its funny because when I was younger I hated it and I never used to do it and now I do it all the time and I have grown very fond of reading …

With the sad and unacceptable news of an agent in our agency going rouge and speaking to the directorate I think its time we come up with a game plan to keep her off our case.  We dont know what the agent told her, but what we do know is that we could throw her …

A time-honored tradition at UMW is bench sitting. It’s the perfect cover for spying on your targets. Your mission: post up on a bench on campus and record passer-bys until your target is spotted. Once spotted, track his or her moments to establish a daily routine for the agency to use to track and capture …

The DKC has figured out where all our agents are, and our new mission is to throw them off track. Make all blog post titles outrages, so they can’t figure out what we are writing about. We have to leave hidden messages all over the blog posts to really throw them off.

I have always been interested with the idea of a double agent, and what all of that might mean for an agency to have everyone’s cover blown out in the field if they don’t address the problem. With that Idea in mind I think a fun mission for the class would be to create a sort … Continue reading Class Mission

This week was sort of a continuation of last week with video being out main way of doing assignments. We got some insight on what we should be including in our videos and a tip to just focus more on the story telling which I really liked. I think because of this the videos that …

This week we have been tasked with coming up with a mission for the class. There were not very many specifics to go off, so I am going to just go with what came into my mind. I think that it would be cool if we came up with a distinct and recurring super villain …

Video Assignment(4.5 stars) [4.5/12] http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/i-am-me/ In this video, I explained some of the things I’m interested in and also a little bit about myself. I chose this video because it didn’t take too much effort to complete for the difficulty rating, but it was still troublesome since I have to record on my phone, upload […]

Greetings….fellow agents. I have some…uh…ideas for a mission we can embark on! All are equally important missions but choose the one that fits you best! Firstly, Dr. Hellsing is at it again, trying to create an “iron man” suit of armor to take over the world…he must be stopped! I have already scouted out his […]
