I’m a little late on deciding what to do for my final project in DS106, but I hadn’t come up with any good ideas until now. One of my biggest passions is UNC Basketball. Growing up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, I wan never deprived of my favorite sports team. For my final project I …

This one was a quicker “point-and-shoot”. I asked if anyone wanted to do a movie with me (I have lots of potential stars in my house) and Tanner [..]

This one was fun to do, but let’s be honest, anytime you get to work with a baby that cute, it’s going to be a good time. To [..]

This one was very similar to the Movie Analysis assignment, only it had to focus on what was bad. It used the same technologies and methodologies for downloading [..]

And there it was.  Brown, fluffy, and ferocious.  Stalking the grounds in the backyard. Then something caught the beasts attention; something green, something leafy protruding for the belly of the earth.  Yes, there was a leafy morsel to satiate the driving hunger. I took inspiration from Tokyo50mm and her thirty second documentary in a park.  Actually, ...

For this assignment you had to basically get video or pictures of the events in your day, and try to fit them together to make an under 10 minute video. I had a lot of fun with this video, and … Continue reading →

This assignment was surprisingly difficult.  It’s easy to think of my favorite movies, but to think of scenes that had a lasting impact is a much harder task.  The ones I chose all moved me for the same reason.  They … Read More →

Assignment: Select scenes from 3-5 movies. These scenes should represent scenes that changed your life or made some sort of dramatic, traumatic, lasting, or emotional impact on you. When you have selected those scenes, create a video that shows the … Continue reading →

This assignment was to basically analyze several of your favorite scenes from a movie of your choosing. We were supposed to use the movie that we wrote about last week, where I used Seabiscuit, so I chose some of my … Continue reading →

I chose Ever After for my video essay.  I really like this movie and this assignment helped me notice many technical developments within the filming. Roger Ebert’s essay on reading movies made sense to me and I like how the different positions that the characters take can determine the negative and positive outcome.  In Ever ...

I picked a well known scene from the Matrix for this redub assignmnet. It is about the worst redub ever. Here is the gay date version of the red pill/blue pill scene.  If that’s not twisting the plot then I don’t know what is.  I wrote a mini script for this scene and then gave ...

Who likes cooking? You do?! Awesome! Do you like eggs? You do?! Horray! Well enjoy the show, it was an easy video camera assignment, that I decided to try to make something super easy and something that a college student … Continue reading →

My assignments this week for video seemed to create a bell curve when it comes to difficulty and effort – my apologies but we are at the far right of the curve.  This might be because it is 11:46pm and … Continue reading →

so for my final project I am proposing the idea of a series of doodle lectures or, possibly other video means, to convey the concept of photoredox, a chemical reaction in a manner that hopefully will allow almost anyone to … Continue reading →

Looking for a little editing break, I turned to the 1 Second Film video assignment.  I decided smiling was easy enough to do.  Black and white seemed to class it up a bit and go nicely with the silent effect.  … Continue reading →

I almost forgot to blog about this assignment!  That would be terrible considering the Video Essay assignment is worth five stars.  To make this essay I recorded myself talking using the camera built into my Mac and iMovie.  Then I … Continue reading →

I was really nervous going into this assignment, as the example we saw in class was outstanding.  That said, I liked how the clip we watched focused on one element of “The Shining” rather than trying to tackle the whole … Read More →

The assignment: Take any real life video and give us a play by play commentary on what we see. It can be a sports event, funny video or videogame gameplay. Make it funny, make it real, make it anything you … Continue reading →

The assignment: Our generation has been using social networking for quite some time now. Take a moment to reflect. Look back at who you were, what you’ve done, and what this all means in those years now frozen in photographs … Continue reading →

I just made an assignment called “Play It Backward, Jack” where the goal is to film something that would look weird if you played it backward, then play it backward. So I filmed the dripping faucet I used in the “1 Second Video” assignment and filmed it for, well, more than one second, then reversed ...

This assignment was to take the audio from a very memorable scene from a film, and dub over the dialogue to change the meaning of the scene. I had chosen this assignment for my pre-production from last week, but decided … Continue reading →
