My blurry picture staring myself entitled Whose that Girl? My poem about rain entitled Go Away Sinking deep into my bed Covers wrapped around my head Today’s a day to waste away Tomorrow I will raise and play For rain is not my forte

March 19: The daily create for today was to make an artfully blurred photo. Luckily my boyfriend dodges the camera every time I try to snap a picture anyway. Here’s a picture of him caught in the action! Here’s a link to the original assignment: http://tdc.ds106.us/tdc1166/ March 20: First day of Spring! They say spring showers…

Listening to the radio show online for everyone to hear kind of made me nervous.  I caught more of the little things while listening. Some things that could be tweaked. I still like what we did. It was neat seeing how others wanted to hear who did it. What would I do differently:  I agree … Continue reading Radio Show Final Reflection →

So I didn’t particularly enjoy the end result of this. I think If I had a second try at this then it would’ve been better. I learned to reference names more in the script, and the editing needed to flow better. But from the feedback, the sound effects were on point! I enjoyed developing my … Continue reading Radio Reflections →

This group had the challenge of overcoming being a two person group. Knowing that the groups were supposed to larger I can imagine that these girls had to overcome some group drama to create this radio show, so props for producing a show despite the stress you’ve must of felt! I absolutely loved the set-up […]

I am very upset to say goodbye to audio. I was also disappointed to not be able to hear my radio show, but I was in a night class on Monday and did not get back to my room until our radio show was over. Janelle however was able to be present to listen to […]

On Thursday I listened to Dinner Party at 6 and participated in a live tweet-a-long. I love the idea of a Clue themed dinner party. I also really liked all of the sound effects that went along with the show. I got a little confused about who each character was though. It was never clearly…

Today’s Daily Create (3/19/15) was to make a blurry photo. Instead of taking  new photo, I used a favorite that I’ve always wanted an excuse to put online and turned down the ‘sharpness’ using Aviary photo editor.

This daily create was interesting. I took a picture of the carpet at work.  It looked like scales of a snake to me. I was moving around when I took the picture. Here is the blur and the non blurred pictures.

So for my final video assignment this week I chose to write a letter to my 16 year old self then make a video about it. I chose to do this assignment because there is so much I would tell myself to do and what not to do if I could go back to when … Read More

Yesterday I began applying paint to the set. It is always exciting bringing color to the world we are creating! I began by painting the pinkish cream on the back wall set piece. I believe this piece is the “ladies parlor” or something like that. After painting almost all of the right side of this…

So for my second video assignment for the week I decided to create a “Where do you want to go” (3 stars) video which is a video made up of pictures of a place that you would like to (or are planning to) go. I chose this assignment as one that I could incorporate Lawrence … Read More

So I have chosen and completed my two daily creates that were required for this week and here they are… I chose Monday’s daily create which was to “draw a stairway to your biggest dream and write what it’ll take to get there on each step.” I chose to do this daily create because I’ve … Read More

Today I chose to do the junk mail art daily create assignment. I thought that this was a pretty unique and cool idea for a daily create so as soon as I saw it I began brainstorming. Unfortunately we didn’t have much mail in the mailbox but we do however keep the hard copies of … Continue reading Junk mail art??

I started this week off by calculating the amount of paint we will need for the show, getting quotes, and inventorying our current supply of what we need. I had a lot of trouble trying to calculate the amount of paint we were going to need. With help from Niffer, the end result was: 2…

In a way I’m kind of sad that House of Noir is over. I had a lot of fun working on this project and putting myself in the mindset of Jack Spencer in a different way than I had been. I have never done anything with radio before so this was definitely a learning experience.…

Last week after I color matched paint I began applying it to a sample of luan and styrofoam. After priming this piece Niffer asked if we could make the styrofoam look a little less styrofoamy. I went in the next day after the paint had dried and filed it down a little bit. It actually…

Creating this radio show was definitely a great experience. I would do something like this again in the future if given the opportunity. My favorite part about this experience is how much our group worked well together, despite our differing … Continue reading →

So tonight, St. Patty’s Day in 2015, Get A Clue aired on DS106 radio. Here is how I felt before the show in a nutshell… I'm actually nervous and my heart is beating really fast LOL #noir106 #ds106radio — Tiffany Yowell (@tyowell29) March 18, 2015 I wasn’t sure how everyone would follow the show or … Read More

This was was definitely on point tonight, especially with the script. I can’t say that enough. There are so many quotes I got from this radio show, I didn’t even get to write them all down. Here are some screen … Continue reading →

The sound effects in this radio show were so on point it’s ridiculous. They went along so well with each scene and the one in particular that stuck with me was during on scene while following Vixen through the swamp, the bugs in the background really made it feel as though I was in the … Read More

This video assignment can be found here: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/have-a-conversation-with-yourself/ I am not a big fan of this video but I needed it to complete the assignment. In this scene, I am basically just talking to myself about fake problems I have about a fake girl and I continually tell myself that I can do better. Process: I … Continue reading Talking to Myself →

This was a very well put together radio show.  Every characters dialogue was amazing. They each told there stories so well and the background music for each person made it much more interesting to listen too. I really like how this show brought me in and made me think about who killed Lawrence by the … Continue reading Get A Clue Review →

Due to technical difficulties, I am just getting around to posting my weekly summary from last week. Sunday night right when I began writing this my blog crashed. It’s finally up and running again though so here we go! I started off this week by listening to the broadcast of D&D. I really enjoyed their…

I chose option 1 to do 8 stars of video assignments with 4 being attributed to my character and another character from the class. So for my first video assignment for the week I chose to create a lyric video (3 stars). I decided to sort of connect this with our radio show which airs … Read More

Although English is my least favorite subject and I actually hate writing when I have a specific prompt to write about, I really enjoy free-writing and being able to let my creativity thrive through words. For that reason, I have created a writing assignment in the assignment bank titled “Your Last Words.”  As you will … Read More

Week Eight This week was a pretty steady week, nothing crazy, but I really enjoyed the idea of viewing other people’s works and websites as we were asked to do so. It feels relieving to be done with making radio shows and I can easily say it is easier to just sit back and listen … Continue reading Weekly Summary – Week Eight →
