I created my own assignment for this category. I chose to do a visual assignment where you had to take a picture of something close up and have other classmates guess on the object in the picture is. For this picture, I took it of something that could be used around the house. Something maybe […]

This class I think has been pretty interesting and it was a lot of work but it was enjoyable work. I’m glad to see it come to an end but going to miss the cool things I got to learn at the same time. For my final project, I decided to do a love story […]

My approach for giving advice for the future students was to create a YouTube video a diary if you will of all that I have learned and how to approach this class! I hope that what I said in the video will shed some light on what is in store for them for this class […]

Here are two screen shots of my future daily create ideas! I hope that at least one of them will eventually show up for the future digital storytelling classes. The first is dealing with your weakness when it comes to food. The task is to take a picture of the food and create a love […]

This is my last weekly summary video and I also created a ds106 advice video so I hope the future students will enjoy them!

I thought that since this was one of my favorite assignments of the class that I would give a run down of how I approached this assignment! Step one: Open up a word document. When you are writing a letter to yourself in the past there is no way that you can come up with […]

I had so much fun creating this video that I thought that it would be fun creating a tutorial to give people a little insight on how to do it! What you have to do first is decide what actor/actress you are going to pick! For mine I did Tyler Perry as Madea! Then what […]

Well, I can’t really say too much about this week other than goodbye to you all. It’s been a wonderful semester and I’ve truly learned a lot about the craft of digital storytelling! If you want to see some of the work I’ve done this week (aka the final project), come check it out here! … Continue reading Weekly Summary 15 — The End. →

It’s here. To give you an idea of what my final project’s all about it, it’s this: Victor’s past is being revealed! Throughout this semester he’s been a real hard one to pin down and interview. What makes it even more difficult is that he doesn’t seem to talk much about his life and we’ve … Continue reading Week 15: The Final Spookening – Final Project INBOUND. →

This week was all about doing the movie piece of Letters to Home. I filmed a lot of clips and also recorded a lot of audio clips to overlay in the video (see Dennis’ Final Monologue here). Combining those thing created a lot of editing to produce the final video. I also created a movie … Continue reading Week 15 Summary →

I, Dennis, am a freshman at university but things aren’t what I want. I wish to be free and as you might  see I could find a way out. This movie is a correlation of letters Dennis has written home,like this one, as well as letters his parents have written back to him (all written by Aaron Dyke). These letters … Continue reading Letters to Home →

No proper movie lacks a movie poster. Letters to Home, being a proper short movie, deserved a movie poster. I chose to go with a handwriting font to give it a letter feel. I also chose to go with a photo in which Dennis looks to be leaving which might hint to his intentions. Here … Continue reading Letters to Home Movie Poster →

Dennis’ final monologue in Letters to Home is about him leaving his standard life to go out zombie fighting. It involves him being happy about what he is about to do but at the same time kind of sad because he isn’t sure about the issues that may arise in the future. Here is Dennis’ … Continue reading Final Monologue →

So I just realized that our final projects are due next Friday! This is great but so terrible at the same time. I was up until 12:30 last night working on my project and have been adding what I thought would be the finishing touches for the past 2 hours!  Thankfully, I noticed as I […]

I wanted to let you all know that your patience has been appreciated. While we’re all starting to wind ourselves up for that final stretch of exams, I wanted to give another update for my final project. I’ve finished my InkleWriter story, which will count as a Writing component for this story, and the Inform … Continue reading A test post (for now). →

WOW did this semester go by quickly. Honestly I can’t believe it. I’m not going to lie though, I’m really excited to be finished and go home to Richmond next week! I’m really missing all my friends and family there....

Ever wonder what The Headless Ballerina does on her weekends off from her horror hosting job? I’m sure you do (I’d hope so at least!). I’m going to take you on a little day in the life of my host...

Here’s a how-to for this simple little assignment! Step 1: Pick the emoji that you want to use. You can find them all here! Step 2: Once you’ve picked your emoji, find a friend (or yourself) who would be interested...
