Another assignment option was to show the evolution of a product; I chose the telephone.  I feel like telephones are something that have been around for a very long time, but are constantly changing (much like computers, which telephones basically … Continue reading →

After having created a 30 second foley sound file a few weeks ago for a Charlie Chaplin silent film, this week we used other students’ files to create the whole film. I used Karissa’s, Dr. Levine’s, Brittany’s, my own, cwyrough’s, … Continue reading →

Another option for an assignment was to make a PSA, which I was excited about.  I did mine about household fertilizer use.  It’s actually a really big problem and contributes to a lot of environmental issues, but not many people … Continue reading →

I chose to do the “I am me” assignment from the bank, which involved creating a video that described me.  I didn’t really understand the example video that was provided, but I may have just missed the point.  Either way, … Continue reading →

We’re already thinking about the final project?? Really? Where has the semester gone? I did a lot of brainstorming of who I wanted to base my final project around. I thought of all of my favorite shows and my favorite...

After a loooong semester, the Cogdog himself decides to take a vacation…to the planet Mars! Watch him prepare for the long journey! How he got to Mars with JUST Monopoly money I’ll never know. This is the first remix video … Continue reading →

Sadly, this will be the lamest update ever.  Due to circumstances beyond my control ( or any one’s really) I am not in a place with access to my files so that they can be fine tuned and uploaded.  I wasn’t able to bring my desk top with me, and don’t have everything needed on ...

  I Love This the end. ———————- ———————– Okay, a bit more.  I did this based on the assignment 30 Second Documentary Now, to get all official the original assignment had 4 and a half stars.  What is that?  The way I see it, if i do a sub par job I could give myself ...

Yeah, you heard me. I wish that I had a great man voice. It would have really come in handy when it was time for making the five star vintage educational video assignment that I decided to take on this week. It was the planning that really helped to put this together, plus my friend (continue reading...)

This week definitely had an overall feeling of me not really loving Windows Movie Maker, at all. Seriously it was awful. The whole transitioning from one thing to the next made my head spin. The typical process was to get a video from YouTube, download it to an mp4 using KeepVid.com, from there I could (continue reading...)

Oh my goodness I have been busy or have I been busy. I was trying my hardest to make everything perfect on all of my work that I put on YouTube to see. I do a lot of things with my friends because they love helping me and I am really shy and it takes ...

Ahh! This week was such a whirlwind! let me just start by saying that at first, i was definitely hesitant about this week…BUUUUT after discovering keepvid and iMovie, it was almost as if all of this was too easy! I got off to late start due to some issues at work but in no way ...

In for the home stretch! I was so disappointed with my work these two weeks. Not because of time management, but because I came into these two weeks hoping I could pull out better work from myself in general. I felt like a lot of the assignments I had gone into these two weeks looking ...

Okay. I’m gonna admit something. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. This assignment was absolutely hilarious! Hearing people’s sounds was awesome. People were incredibly creative and surprised me! Here’s my rendition: Here are the sound clips I chose to use: It took me only a few minutes to find the song I ...

…the lion sleeps tonight! Well, except in this case! As apart of video week, we had to take our classmates Charlie Chaplin Foley sounds (see here for previous work!) and put it into the video. This is what the past couple of weeks was working to get us to work towards, and be able to ...

For the foley sounds I picked the ones I thought went best with my theme which was just enough not too much and not too little. For the first thirty seconds I took krisavball08 because I like that she added the lion breathing and I thought that was a nice touch and lions do not ...

I just watch the beginning of the Movie Awards and Rebel was hosting it (Fat Amy form Pitch Perfect) and then it hit me for my last thing I am going to do something with her in it. My public service announcement is about herpes because it is a sexual transmitted disease  that can be ...

For the last two weeks, we had 16 stars worth of video assignments to complete from the ds106 assignment bank. To do this, I did 5 assignments: Then & Now (3 stars) Stripes Everywhere (3 stars) Catnip…A Crisis (5 stars) ...

I had no homework to do really and my friend needed to focus so I told her that she has to do her work for at least 30 minutes straight so we will both benefit I would get video of someone doing work and she will do her work. A win win situation . So ...

I loved doing this because I loved this movie. I just seen Oz the Great and Powerful and I loved it like forreal forreal it was amazing I think everyone should see it. I used this scene: I took a scene with the witches talking back and forth I had to write the script down ...

“So Harold,” the Fandom Princess asked as they embarked towards town. They had made a pit stop to the Princess’s chambers in order to grab some last minute supplies and were now on their way. “How long have you been in this form?” “Not long, my Princess. Merely four moon … Continue reading →

For my last video assignment, I created a 30 Second Documentary on something that I’m bad at doing.  I’m not sure why this assignment was rated 4.91 stars, because it literally took me 5 minutes to do, but it was ...

While deciding to conquer her studies out in the warm Spring sun one afternoon, with Ghost sleeping lazily next to her, the Fandom Princess heard a very loud and obnoxious sort of croak. She sat up straight from the tree which she was leaning against and turned her head left, … Continue reading →

The assignment inanimate motion is what I like to call clay-mation without the clay. This was by far the hardest to do just because I could not get these rubber person thingy to stand up -_- I must say if I do this again I would not have used that thing but it fit perfectly ...

This week was a mixture of emotions.  It started off really fun, and then was indifferent, and now it’s a pain in my ass.  I did some things that I wanted to do, trashed some plans, made new ones, trashed ...

That’s 70s show I do not know how you did it but you guys deserves a round of applause  HAHA honestly that is the only thing I have to say about this assignment and what I did with my friends. I was laughing the entire time. I got something in my eye it was just weird. ...

These past 2 weeks have been full of video, editing, music, and frustration.  There has been so much waiting involved with the uploading to movie maker, publishing the video, and then putting them on youtube and here. Looking back on what I was able to produce I was proud of …

Probably one of my all time favorite Disney lines is that title. Who doesn’t love a good forced pun being said by the odd muse out? But seriously, Hercules is super dreamy. I mean who doesn’t love a modest super hero son of a god? Come on, it’s not even fair. Plus you can total (continue reading...)

A couple of weeks ago, I made a foley clip for part of Charlie Chaplin‘s silent film, the Lion’s Cage.  Once everyone had made their own clips, we had to assemble them all into one smooth foley story. I downloaded ...

This was the biggest pain in the ass to date.  We had to do this remaking of this Charlie Chaplin scene here. Then we had to go back and reuse the sound we made for it in the beginning by ...
