    ON THE CASE:  https://vimeo.com/125423627 When a woman from my past who lives in my mind comes to call for my services… the most predictable sequence of events occur.  These do allow me to come to terms with some ghosts I have been to afraid to face and also help me realize a dream I have […]

    Coming to a close – Weekly Update, Week 13

    by
    Well here we are; we completed the case. I’m not saying it was easy, but it was definitely interesting.  There was many parts of this project that I enjoyed, but there was definitely portions that I struggled with. What I enjoyed was the freedom to create whatever we wanted. This allowed me to really exercise […]

    Follow our journey

    by
      I’ve been getting really into social media since starting this company with Bev. I decided that it would be cool to showcase the development of our company through a storify post. Bev was  little hesitant at first because she’s always a little concerned about things she doesn’t understand/have full control over, but I insisted […]

    I’d like to apply please

    by
        So, Bev sent me this assignment earlier to create and upload my resume. I guess she’s decided I need some qualifications in order to work for our new company. I guess I could have fluffed it up a bit, but I think honesty is the best policy, so I just wrote what was […]

    This daily create inspired me to write about a friend that i’ve known since freshmen. I wanted to use a personal story that shows how far a conversation with a stranger could. That it could blossom into a friendship that could last a long time. Talk With a Stranger I’ve always been able to handle … Continue reading #tdc1176 #ds106

    Second chances rule – Weekly Summary, Week 10

    A few questions…

    by
    I organized a meeting with a few people who I thought might be able to help me out and provide a bit of protection, or at least some guidance. I’ve just been so jumpy recently after all my run-ins with Bev and all the things she has told me.. Anyway, I set up this meeting, […]

    Prompt:  “So when an elderly woman directed a comment at him about all the trash on the street — the kind of thing most of us nod at vaguely and tune out — he engaged.

    The final unit

    After much contemplation and discussion, I have decided that for my final unit I will be working with a close friend, Mariah a.k.a. Bev. We’ve already been working together a lot, and I think we will be able to continue telling our characters’ story this way. I’m looking forward to it!

    Chasing Damon

        Well, I was returning home from a long day of work the other day (I was taking care of the dogs I walk during the day), and it was fairly dark out. I’m usually not scared in these instances, but something felt eerie this evening. It seemed to me like someone was following […]

    Setting the tone

        For my last video assignment this week, I wanted to do this one because I think it captured a lot of really important aspects of film that we’ve been studying and practicing these past two weeks.  As I worked on my videos, I learned that film and specific scenes have a lot happening in […]
