The assignment that I chose was to do was a college snapshot. For this assignment I was to chose some photos that highlighted my college career so far, and are sort of interesting. I obviously took more photos than the amount that are there in video, but I had to narrow them down somehow. The …

For this assignment I decided to do a video of how to use the Preview tool. I found this very helpful through the course so far. I used the Preview tool mostly for creating daily creates that involved word creates. I liked using Preview because it was very easy and simple to navigate and had …

This was a very interesting week because we got a new format to use for storytelling- video. I really enjoyed using it throughout the week.

For this assignment I made a one second video of what a typical Thursday night at my house looks like, me trying to do my assignments while watching the new Grays Anatomy which ultimately results in me giving up on the homework until the new episode is over. I decided to this as my story …

I wish I could have used more but I wanted it to be around …

This assignment was fun! It was fun because I could become someone else and not just anybody, this someone was a character I created. This assignment was to pick seven questions from the choose of three YouTube videos and create a mock interview that showcased answers from our characters to the questions. I was glad […]

I never thought that you can make an essay on a film before and after viewing several examples I was proven wrong. I learned how to view a film in a new different light by reading the post titled “How to read a movie post “How to read a movie” and watching YouTube videos by […]

A struggling alcohol, James Bond, tries to make the transition into drinking more water. This was really simple to do. I really wanted to implement the spy theme, and I had a water bottle with me, so the inspiration came pretty easy. I just recorded from my phone on the computer I was using, so …

So over the weekend, I worked on a video that conveniently lined up with the requirements of this assignments. The internship is for World of Beer, which hires four interns every year to travel the world over the summer so blog and tweet about their beer-drinking experiences. Naturally, I felt my calling with this one. …

Don’t read that last line! Anyways, this week agenda was…creating videos? Wait […]

I really enjoyed this assignment because I got to be a sleuth to mask the fact I have strep throat. I emailed Professor Bond about this and he suggested I use a voice generator so I wouldn’t have to actually speak because my throat is really killing me. It was an excellent idea of his. …

This was a very interesting assignment to do. I started by reading the how to read a movie post and thought it was very interesting. I liked how they evaluated Casablanca which is a classic. I liked how they took all of the various design parts and put it into one essay about it. I …

I tried to have some fun with this one but my video editing software was messing up over and over again so I was pretty flustered by the time I got it to finally work. I thought each of the three interviewers asked interesting questions but since we had to limit it to just a …

Stars: 4 This assignment was probably the most challenging I have done. I did a similar assignment back in high school with power point. This time I used iMovie and it was challenging to line everything up perfectly. I think that if I were to do it over again, I wouldn’t do an acoustic version … Continue reading Lyric Video

Stars: 4 The toughest thing about his assignment was finding a good video to put music to. Then I remembered for the longest time, there was a Peacock Spider commercial on TV and remembered that they do a funny little dance. That is when I decided to put music to this video. I do not … Continue reading Animal Dance!

Stars: 3.5 This was a random and fun assignment. I found 5 random words of things that randomly came to mind, put some goofy free music from freesound.org and mashed it together. The hardest part was finding music that kinda fit the theme. I like this ...

For my first web assignment, I decided to tackle a 5 start assignment. The assignment is “That Bleeping censor” and the task is to take a 2-minute movie scene and sensor out a recurring phrase. I decided to take the basic approach and find a movie with some curse words and sensor those out. I googled … Continue reading "Censoring 22 Jump Street"

Week 9 was another grueling but fun week. In some ways the Web assignment group is my favorite category. The work wasn’t as hard as some past work, and it didn’t require as much of a challenge to my creative thinking as I have had before in this class, but it was mostly the time-consuming […]

For the X-Ray Goggles assignment, I decided to make a new version of the NSA website (the original can be found here). I probably went a little risky with using a government website, and a very important one, but a little satire never hurt anyone. Before starting the assignment, I had to brainstorm what site to edit, […]

This week I listened to and got a chance to take some notes on the Agents on Air ds106 radio show. From the beginning, I could tell the group put a lot of work into the show. There were good sound effects throughout, some adding to the mysteriousness of the show, some funny. Some of […]

The Underwater Monkey Biker Gang was a notoriously rowdy group. They only had one “soft” habit: they gave out badges for tasks assigned to group members. The top two members in the Gang, holding the most badges, compete for the top Gang Member spot. The winner gets the ability to use the groups only water … Continue reading "Daily Create Story"

Week 9 had a lot of assignments but it was pretty easy. Kale is the Worst was my favorite assignment because I really hate kale and learning a new skill was also really cool. Google Draw Something was also one of my favorites because it was fun. It’s amazing what Google can do. Having so many assignments made … Continue reading Week 9

Daniel Z’s Daily Create to redesign a Ladybird book cover was one of my favorites so far. The joke was definitely creative, especially since the kid on the cover has a cloth over his face. It made me laugh more than any Daily Create has so far. Cole Hodges’ Valentine’s card was also hilarious. The picture … Continue reading Best of DS106

This week was kind of difficult at first just because I felt like my creativity was lacking and I needed it a lot this week!! When I first tried to do the x-ray goggles assignment, I accidentally deleted the favorites tool bar  I needed to get the x-ray goggles and couldn’t figure out how to ... Read more

William for debating inside his mind: This was the best because he gave a twist on one of my favorite quotes, “To be or not to be!” Callie for clarifying why batman is called batman: It was best because she clarified my childhood conundrum of why batman is called batman!
