For our video show, we plan to do much of the same from what we did during our radio show, in that we are going to base it largely off of spy movies. In our radio show, we did matching games of spy songs and movies while spinning off into critiques of the movies and …

This week was all about Video!  I believed this week went by quickly and this week I learned interesting stuff about videos. I scrolled through the ds106 site and commented on my classmates post! I then read the post called “How to read a Movie” and watched several videos by Every Frame a Painting. It […]

For this, the clear answer was to run. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past eight years. As a result, the video is a little shaky, but I like giving the viewer a perspective of what I do. I wanted to film while I was running so I was winded and such to add …

Ever wanted to know what Agent Roberts was up to? Now is your chance. The questions answered are (in order) When someone yawns do you also yawn? What do you think of garden gnomes? If you were being chased by a gorilla and had to choose going down a manhole or into a 7-11, which …

    So for this 5 star video assignment I wanted to try something different. Everyone thinks about the sound of Morse code, not the actual dots and dashes, so I wanted to play with that idea to change my video. The way I decided to do it was to use drawn cards with the …

This week, I provided student feedback on blogs and Twitter, in addition to the following two daily creates (Which were completed simply using Paint, easily). @ds106dc Crown them as the real fools (Hunchback of Notre Dame reference)! #tdc1903 pic.twitter.com/iOWpUnfq76 — William (@wbschd) March 26, 2017 @ds106dc My expressions have a peak similar to this when … Continue reading "Mission Check-In: Week 10"

I had to answer a seven-question 003 character interview, splicing together my character answers with the interviewer clips. I chose to mimic a Skype call, and had to use some iPhone recording, re-uploading, and splicing tricks after failing to download the interview into an effective MP4 file instead of a internet-attached link. See my interview … Continue reading "003 Character Interview"

For this assignment, we were supposed to “chipmunk” (from Alvin and the Chipmunks) a video by changing the pitch of the voice to a high pitch. I used iMovie to turn Liam Neeson’s awesome and serious Taken scene into a chipmunk video. iMovie has a convenient way to change the pitch of the audio of … Continue reading Chipmunked Taken

This was has been so rough but these assignments were actually way cool to do.  I think I am a lot better with video than audio, didn’t take me nearly as long so I am very greatful for that.  I really enjoyed learning about how to read a shot and also Zhou’s videos on shot […]

I figured since I was already outside earlier that I would go ahead and make an instant replay video.  It was cold so I chose something that would get my blood pumping.  I just did some breakdancing, more specifically “tops” or “top rocks” which is anything you do up top on your feet.  I had […]

From the two options this week: 10-star worth of video assignments or team up with a group to brainstorm a video that would be produced next week. I decided to choose the video creation so I went to Twitter and ask my radio show group about coming back together in creating a secret agent video. […]

For this five point video assignment, I was instructed to record a video using morse code to communicate a word to onlookers. I’d view this assignment as easy, with some helpful sites able to both create the audio required for the morse code and translate the word into written morse code for students. Check out … Continue reading "Morse Code Challenge"

For this 3.5 point video assignment, I was instructed to create a Vine video which helped onlookers to guess the book I was referring to. Since Vine has closed down, I created a Youtube video using short video clips of three separate Paint images I created for a famous book trilogy which mimicked the Vine … Continue reading "Name That Book Vine Challenge"

For my second assignment, I did a 4 1/2 star assignment called 60 Second Day – A Video Narrative. The assignment was to show your day in 60 seconds, using one-second clips. My week has been rather hectic, and for some reason, I decided to try and do this assignment during my busiest day and … Continue reading "60 seconds? More like 20!"

This week was the start of video for this course. We were given the option of either doing 10 stars of video each week or forming a group and making a 15-30 minute video show. I really enjoyed working on the radio show in my room so when Amari suggested we team up again I […]

For this 4.5 point video assignment, I was instructed to make a video using sign language to communicate a word or short series of words. I chose to sign out my spy agent character’s name, Wren Wilder. I viewed this assignment as easy to complete, though it took me about ten minutes of practice before … Continue reading "Signing Words Challenge"

This week Agent Fawn was interviewed by top ds106 leaders. The following video is a segment of some of the remotely done interview.   The resume question in particular was great because Agent Fawn actually already had a resume created in a previous week so her story lines up with the rest of her narrative. She […]

One second is not a lot of time. What can be accomplished in a second or less? You could blink or double click a mouse. Your heart could beat once too. In one second, a top fuel dragster can use 11.2 gallons of nitro methane fuel. Usain Bolt could sprint 11 meters. Needless to say …

Continue reading "If You Had One Second"

For this week’s scene analysis I chose a scene from Mission Impossible. In particular this scene comes at the films climax as the character crawl along the top of a moving train. I used the critical thinking methods from Tony Zhou’s videos as the primary element I drew on for understanding this scene. From Roger […]

Coming up to DS 106 soon is the new video show Your Guide to being a Spy. Since the show will include a portion done with moving cut outs I decided to incorporate cut outs in stop motion for the trailer.  I hand wrote out each word I was going to use and then photographed […]

For this week we were given two options for what to do with video weeks. While I was reading through the options I got a message from Amari (who was part of our Agents on Air group) about coming together again and doing the group project option. I was interested so we started a google […]

This assignment was to create a video which shows where my shoes take me. Where do they take me? Watch this and find out! This video tries its best to follow me throughout my day. Of course it is not 100% accurate, otherwise it would have been 24 hours long. The video starts with me …

This week was another fun one. I decided that instead of working in a group, that I would work alone since my schedule is so crazy and I have weird times to do things. I did 10 stars worth of assignments and I also did my video essay on Nancy Drew. This week I used … Continue reading Week 10 Summary

For this video essay, I decided that I was going to do it on Nancy Drew. She is probably one of my most favorite because she is so smart and is clever. For the essay portion I decided to focus on a lot of the techniques that were displayed in the Every Frame a Painting … Continue reading Video Essay : Nancy Drew

My name is Agent Reveal, here is my interview. I hope you feel like you know me better now…. Questions I answered: 1. Why is shaken better than stirred? 2. If I was being chased by a gorilla and I had to choose between running to a 7/11 or a manhole, which would I choose … Continue reading Agent Reveal Interview

http://www.youdubber.com/index.php?video=dC1yHLp9bWA&video_start=5&audio=CvFH_6DNRCY&audio_start=6 For this assignment I chose a scene from Fight Club of Tyler Durden offering the rules of fight club which then goes into a complete fight scene.  I was thinking at first that I would pick a song that perfectly described the build and anticipation that leads to that pretty brutal scene, but then […]
