    Inside the Animal Mind

    by
    My first video assignment for this week was the What Do Pets Think About? The assignment asked for us to create a video where the animal looks like it’s thinking, then narrate what they were thinking. I threw a little spin on this. I decided to narrate what my girlfriend’s dog was thinking, but I did it while I was playing with him. My girlfriend SWEARS that he is a smart dog…but I beg to differ. I think he’s gotten goofy with old age(and may be a little slow). So although I pick on him, he is a sweet dog…and perfect for my narration of what he was thinking about! … Continue reading

    This is my story…

    by
    I’m going to let the video speak for itself on this one. It was really tough for me to make this assignment because it’s a touchy subject for me. I almost started crying towards the end. This is 100% true. I’ll add tags at a later date because the DS106 site won’t come up on my computer…

    5 Second Film! 3*

    by
    When I saw this assignment I had to watch the videos on youtube with this tag, I was kind of confused. I watched a video of a dad and his daughter taking shots that made my boyfriend and I crack up. It was so funny. I figured I’d do something with my puppy because who doesn’t love puppies! I love him.

    Come live at my house! 5*

    by
    Come live at my house! It’s roomy, comfy, and is always stocked with food…. Except this week because I’m the adult in the house. UMW decided to run a contest called “Live Here!” it asked students to make a video of their dorm to persuade other students to want to live there. There were some kind of prizes involved, plus… you’d gain awesome new friends. Since I don’t live on campus, I did my house… which is fantastic! Here, watch:

    What is Jack Jack Thinking?! 2*

    by
    This assignment was to catch your pet in a contemplative mood and dub over with what you think he/she would be thinking/saying. My dog always has to pee or is super tired so I decided to incorporate that in. I tried to get him when he wasn’t barking but that’s a rare occurrence around our house, he’s always barking at something.
