I’m excited to use video editing tools next week.  I have audacity to record my voice and other sounds.  I have used this for previous assignments and have found it fairly easy to use.  I know there is more to it than I can even imagine.  I would like to …

In this week learning about how to read movies I learned a lot. I leaned that there is more to movies that just pointing and shooting the camera. I learned how to use MPEG Streamclip but all I know how to do is trim and put clips together.  Not that much I know right but ...

This week was the dawn of a new era: Video editing.  Well, sort of..I learned the basics of video editing, such as the tools to use, and then I attempted to create a montage.  I’ve already used MPEG Streamclip a lot ...

It’s the first of the video weeks! I’ve seriously just been waiting for these weeks. I LOVE working with video. I would also LOVE to learn more about it! Now, I wouldn’t say I’m a professional or even a skilled video editor. I do, however, have a lot of experience with it. I’ve been using Sony Vegas Pro for ...

The YouTube video I found is something that I already knew it is by this couple that vlogs everyday and they like to pull pranks on each other but this time they pulled it on people in public I thought it was really funny. I put this video under the Pranks for the google document ...

I am very much looking forward to the next few weeks working with video. I downloaded MPEG streamclip this week, and already had iMovie on my computer. I have had a good amount of previous experience editing video with iMovie and feel pretty comfortable with the software. The 3 time review activity was an eye-opening experience, and provided ...

This week I did two Daily Creates. TDC447 asked us to draw the best present we’ve ever given or received.  One of my favorite things in the world is making/getting things for other people, but my Christmas present this year … Continue reading →

This week was all about video processing and stuff.  I’ve never done any of this kind of stuff aside from the few times I used iMovie to cut pieces of video apart to make a gif with them like the ...

I couldn’t help but feel like learning how to download YouTube videos was illegal. (Is it?)  I had fun learning how to do a lot of the different stuff though, even if my level of familiarity with video-editing software could … Continue reading →

I’m a bit afraid of these, but I’m sure I’ll be up to the challenge!  I want to do “I am Me” (I think), so for this I can’t really HAVE anything compiled yet, but I do know that I’ll … Continue reading →

To find more information on Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, I searched Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.  I found a page with extended details on the film, including production, reception, and release information.  Did you know that Anchorman, which was ...

When I read Ebert’s “How to Read a Movies” I learned a lot of valuable things like within the context you can seek the “dominant contrast” which is the area we are drawn toward.  I also learned that concept that visual compositions have “intrinsic weighting” which means that certain areas of the available visual space have tendencies ...

Movies, or “films,” often take a lot of money, time, and talent to produce.  We live in a world now with YouTube, where people can record a video of themselves burning their hair off with a curling iron and it suddenly becomes a … Continue reading →

For next week when I was looking through the  ds106 video assignments I was just looking for two but I found four. Now I know only two is required I might just have to do all four of them if I have time of course. For this I will tell you about them in order of how ...

Now, the Fandom Princess gained her romantic view on life from none other than her very own parents, the King and Queen. She remembered when she was just a tiny Princess, watching the King and Queen sing to one another in their enchanted garden. They were underneath the fairy tree … Continue reading →

March 28th The task: Take a photo of an unexpected object found in the earth (think secret treasure) Okay, this was once found in the earth! My roommate is a Geology major, and has this geode. It’s gorgeous! For me, the non-Geology major, it is definitely an “unexpected object”/”secret treasure.” Took this photo in her ...

Did you know: At the end of Good Will Hunting, when Will is explaining to the NSA agents that he does not want to work for him, it is because the original plot involved Will being tracked by the FBI … Continue reading →

WEEK 10…actually sounds a lot more depressing than it should. EEK, not ready for this, so overwhelming even though it should be getting easier. However, I’m not doubting myself, I have more faith than ever! But this week revolved all around movies, seems basic enough right? If thought that it was basic, you shouldn’t even ...

And sometimes, in this mystical magical realm, the Fandom Princess liked to just be silent and read.  As my non-fiction professor liked to say, the genre is like the norm for a set of works. While looking at Youtube videos, it’s hard to pick only one genre for all of … Continue reading →

While the Fandom Princess and the Prince were out on a stroll one Saturday afternoon, Ghost decided to stay inside and out of the cold. He instead walked around the castle, and came upon a corridor where the dungeon dwarves that cleaned the castle had left him a pile of … Continue reading →

Return to the Silent Era For my first assignment, I want to do the Return to the Silent Era assignment. I’m still not 100 percent this will work the way I want it to, but I would like to use Django: Unchained for this assignment. I liked this trailer the most. To make this video ...

The two video assignments I chose to prepare for are Redub the audio and Sports Mashup. To prepare for the 1st video assignment, redub the audio, I first chose a movie scene I wanted to put my own audio over.  I ...

The two assignments I am choosing to do for next week’s work are the sports mashup assignment and the play-by-play assignment. Sports Mashup Assignment For this assignment my plan is to make a compilation of some funny moments in sports from the past few years. Clips like this will be used, and I can hopefully find ...

So the week is finally over, and what a long week it has been at that. Luckily for me, procrastination did not end up being my enemy as it is almost 9 and I am onto the weekly summary, but I know not to procrastinate next week. Going into this week I was a bit (continue reading...)

For this week’s DC’s, I first decided to rewrite a classic movie and relate it back to DS106, so I used The Little Mermaid as my inspiration!: Sebastian: How do I get myself into these situations? I should be writing a blog post – not tagging along after some headstrong teenager who doesn’t want to ...

Well it’s onto looking forward from here on out. Looking at the video assignment bank I certainly did find some things that really interest me, and know what two assignments I want to do. The first one is going to be challenging, but I think that I am up for the challenge. It’s creating an (continue reading...)

I learned 3 things from this movie that I did not know before the first was: 1. It was based on The Accidental Billionaires which was a book based on the founding of Facebook. During the book Mark Zuckerberg did not talk to the author Ben Mezrich. Ben claims that the book is fiction even ...

The best way to prepare for something is to plan, plan, plan, and then plan some more! That’s what this next assignment is about, planning out the next week that I’m not completely frazzled in actually doing these assignments! Video assignments are by far the most time consuming, especially since MPEG involves a lot of ...

So I started planning all the stuff that I’ll be doing next week for video assignments.  The first assignment I chose was 1 Archetype, 5 Movies which just looks like fun.  I always like looking in books at all the ...
