Casting shadows
Today’s TDC asked us to make shadow art. Naturally my first thought was of The Shadow, but I didn’t want to just find an illustration on the web. Then it occurred to me to make audio art, of sorts. I … Continue reading

“Trapped In a World He Never Made”

Week 5 dev log/reflection
And with that, I close the book on this blog and the class it was made for. It was a lot of fun in some parts, a lot of stress in others, and the whole time I was learning. The assignments made me learn about new techniques and programs, forced me out of comfort zones […] -
Hollowgrove
Ages into the future is a land inhabited by a wide variety of strange fauna and broken monuments. Tucked in a cave is a family of rock like beings, hundreds of smaller ones working under a monolithic queen. It tells one small rock in particular to follow their dreams, and they do. And as Rudy […] -
ds 106: Create A Commercial (5 stars)
by @eggstve July 22, 2022Though it’s not much of an advertisement per say, it tells Rudy just what it is they’re looking at. They will pick one to take along their journey while the rest go with a kindly stranger and his monstrous companion. Without the log left by some unnamed researcher Rudy wouldn’t even know what its name […] -
ds 106: Weird Book Room (4 stars)
Far in the future of our world is one completely unrecognizable. The people there are not like us, and all they know of us is that we were responsible for why the world has become the way it is now. They read what’s left of our stories of war, of the Hound, of the Cure, […] -
ds 106: Play DJ & Make A Song (again!)(4.5 stars)
Back at it again with another song! This time I focused much more on making an ambient track rather than a fully fledged song, and I’m pretty happy with the end result. I wanted something that you’d hear as the backing music to a graveyard or haunted woods at night, and put together a bunch […] -
ds 106: Your story as a game! (5 stars)
by @eggstve July 20, 2022For the visual aspect of this project, I decided to make a mock ups for Hollowgrove. The first end goal of this idea was to make a game, and since then I’ve known that it’s gonna be a long time before anything of the sort actually happens, so in the meantime I figured some mock […] -
ds106: Music video (4 stars)
This assignment was partially inspired by a friend of mine who was showing me how to make a visualizer in a program called After effects. Since I had been having trouble with Adobe Animate on my other assignment, I took him up on his offer and thought it’d be fitting to work it into a […] -
Week 4 dev log
This week was by far the most stressful thanks to the assignments and regular life happenings. My time management was way off this week and I’m not satisfied with my creative works this week nearly as much as some of my previous works. I spent more time struggling to get certain things to work or […] -
Comments week 4
After browsing some blogs, I found some posts I found to be really well made and slapped some comments on them. First up was Anna’s blog https://www.annahollrah.com/. Her daily creates are very engaging and fun to look through, I had a hard time picking out which week I wanted to comment under. Next up was […] -
ds 106: 5 second film (5 stars)
by @eggstve July 17, 2022I’ll preface this assignment by saying that this week was insanely unorganized for me as I started working a second job as well as some family stuff going on, so I’m frustrated to say that this assignment didn’t go as I wanted. I hate to use excuses but my end product is so underwhelming in […] -
Look, listen, analyze
I picked out the Joker scene for this analysis, I remember seeing it a long time ago and thinking abut how I enjoyed it but couldn’t fully recall it. So what better way to rewatch it than to watch and learn from it! To start, I muted the clip and simply watched the scene unfold. […] -

Reading a movie reflection
A lot of the points made by Ebert give so much insight to the thought process behind design choices. The idea of reading a movie is very interesting and its popularity speaks for itself. It’s a great way to both interpret meaning from small moments and to learn about how ideas can come to life. […] -
Videogriping
Back in the day, friend of ds106 John Johnston made some awesome supercuts using Videogrep: I always wanted to try it, but I could never get it to work. I have a hard time finding appropriate directions for doing any … Continue reading -
11-7@7-11
The oddest thing I found in a 7-11 store was a job. I worked the 11-7 shift in the summer when I was in college. What was odd, to me, was the way I got the job. A friend came … Continue reading -
Week 3 dev log
The reflections were definitely the most brain power consuming for me. While they all had great information for audio design, it was hard to not repeat myself in some places. I think I could’ve spent some more time getting more words out and properly explaining myself rather than typing what I thought in the moment […] -
Moon Graffiti reflection
The low drone continuously playing in the background, the frantic beeping combined with the rushed conversation all build tension that is released in the sound of a crash. When the narrator begins to take over commentary, the drone and sound effects lower to give priority to said narrator. The silence makes the listener wait for […] -
Radio hour reflection
The part that really stood out to me in regards to sound design from the Radio hour was the use of sound alongside the lack of sound. Background noise and music can heavily skew the mood of a story. It can provide a background, it can set tones, and depending on how silence is used […] -
Comments
I had my friend randomly pick out five numbers from one to eleven to pick out people’s blogs, and I gotta say my classmates have some great content put out! Gonna need to step up my game My first blog comment was on Tristan Barber’s blog, http://wolfgamedev.com/. I really appreciate the amount of text written […] -
ds 106: Story time fun time (3.5 stars)
by @eggstve July 10, 2022There are a lot of options in regards to telling a story. I could talk about anything, tell any sort of tale for this. What really inspired me was the idea of continuing off of a gif assignment I had completed last week. The story revolves around a monstrous dog like creature running rampant in […] -
ds 106: Play DJ & Make A Song (4.5 stars)
by @eggstve July 9, 2022I saw this assignment and immediately knew that I wanted to do it. I was inspired by a prompt from a discord server to “Introduce the listener to a space adventure”. I used an online sequencer called Modbox to make this song, which gives me all sorts of fun chiptune and retro sound fonts. I […] -

ds106: Eat Your Hear Out Beethoven (5 stars)
by @eggstve July 8, 2022I thought it’d be fun to make a cover of a song with a style that’s drastically different from the original. For starters, I’m not that big on Let Her Go, but my partner sure is and I thought it’d be a nice surprise for him and this class. I used a program that’s based […] -
Ira glass reflection
In part 1 of the storytelling series, the first nugget of information that really stood out to me was the idea of having momentum when storytelling to capture audiences. It’s not the message itself that captivates the audience, it’s the story and the way it’s paced so that people become more interested in it as […] -
Dev week 3
I started off this week’s assignments well by getting a head start on my ds 106 tasks, and I’ happy to say that the process was so much smoother and enjoyable than last week. Now that I took my time and focused more on the quality rather than the deadline I feel much better about […] -
brought to you by the Groom of the Stool
Today’s Daily Create asks us to make an antipodal tale – a story about side of the world. The opposite end of the planet from me is more or less Augusta, Western Australia. Its namesake is Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke … Continue reading -
The Vignelli Canon (reflection)
Vignelli lived an incredible life and had an exceptional skill in making clean, flowing designs. I find the way he designed the map of the New York City Subway map fascinating, as he didn’t simply design it to be accurate, rather representations so that people could understand it much easier. His other works such as […] -
Design Blitz
The idea behind the “Balance” photo was to showcase how precise and purposeful the layout on this little disk was. Naturally there’s a focal point on the disk, but at the same time the eye can wander over the full design and not feel over or underwhelmed. The two trees on the right are complemented […]
