Barnaby Withers was a young man who often vied for the Fandom Princess’ attention. The months when the Fandom Prince was away, he was at his happiest, trying every day to get the Princess to give him more than a friendly conversation. He was entranced by her beauty, her laugh, … Continue reading →

This week, we have to complete three daily creates but there’s a twist: We have to tie our three DCs together some way to create a story! I did all three of my DCs first and then went back and...

I really liked the SongTag assignment that I found but when I started crafting mine, I realized that I was creating a story basically, so I decided to make a new assignment, based off of the StoryTag assignment. For my SongTag Story, I used some of my favorite guilty pleasure music to craft a story ...

When I was little, I briefly wanted to be a Foley Artist. This assignment has changed my ideas of how easy I thought that it would be. It was tricky. I was assigned 1:31-2:00 from this clip and made all of my sounds using my voice and body. I recorded them in one take with Voice Memos ...

Okay, so “beach season” is defined a bit differently for a Jersey girl like myself. I am not just any Jersey girl, but I am a beach volleyball Jersey girl. I pick bathing suits based off of what ones won’t move when I dive for a volleyball and I go to the beach with a (continue reading...)

For the Google Translate Fail assignment, I stumbled upon a Japanese Burger King website and translated the only parts of the site that werent images (since Google Chrome cant translate those.) This is a screenshot of the bottom of the … Continue reading →

For my Digital Dynamite Bumper, I wanted to keep people interested in our show and also encourage our listeners to interact with us on Twitter, mentioning to tweet us with comments using the #ds106radio hashtag. I recorded my audio on my iPod Touch using Voice Memos then emailed it to myself and edited it on ...

For my Digital Dynamite Commercial, I wanted to emphasize not only our talents that we would be displaying on the show but also encourage our listeners to interact with us on Twitter, mentioning to tweet us with comments using the #ds106radio hashtag. I recorded my audio on my iPod Touch using Voice Memos then emailed ...

While looking through various web assignments, I found myself somewhat uninspired. So I took a day off from the digital storytelling world (mainly because I had way too many other things going on) and decided to check back another time. Suddenly I realized that I missed this three star assignment which calls for creating a (continue reading...)

I’m Lovin’ It – Justin Timberlake My last web assignment that I chose was Hidden Stories in a Page {**}. In this assignment, you had to take a web page and insert a hidden story, or commentary from the author. I...

Ever thought about what it would be like if birds were the superior race on Earth? For the “Youtube It Your Way” assignment, where we had to pick out a youtube video and change some aspects to give it a … Continue reading →

This week has been very stressful already and it’s only Tuesday! My sister is getting married and her bachelorette party is this weekend, so I am trying to get everything done before the weekend so I can just relax and not have to worry about homework, but we will see how that goes. Last night (continue reading...)

It’s Tricky – Run DMC There was one web design assignment that all of us DS106ers had to do. It was called Storytelling within the Web. For this assignment, we had to recreate an already existing web page. First, I...

Last night I listened live on Ds106 Radio to a story called “The Fifth Dimension Twilight Zone.” I liked the new format of storytelling this group brought to the table. Sort of like a variety show with different stories attached … Continue reading →

Today was a Fairytale – Taylor Swift {well not really today, but last night} Last night our radio showed aired LIVE on the DS106 Radio! If you missed it, you can catch it here along with all of the other radio shows...

The show that my radio group was assigned to listen to was The Science of Group Projects by the Dot Commers.. If you have not listened to this radio show yet, do it! I did not listen to this show live...

My blog title/song title will make sense once you are done reading this blog post, trust me! For my first web assignment, I chose to do the What they might have done in social media {***} one. When I was looking through...

When I saw the two star Familiar Sounds assignment, I knew that I could use the sound I recorded from my serger. This is the sound story created by serging the cuffs of a pair of pants. As I serge I go quicker sometimes than I do others and often have to stop to adjust ...

Do you know anyone on campus who aaaallways has something negative to say about the school? In some cases what they say is true, but most of the time they just need something to complain about in front of their … Continue reading →

This may just be my favorite assignment yet! Anyone who knows me knows that I am not someone who picks favorites easily. Ever since I was little and someone asked me what my favorite part of vacation was or my favorite part of school, I simply responded with “everything”. I still do it to this (continue reading...)

OH MY GOSH, these past 2 (3ish) weeks have been full of me recording my voice and editing it to make it bearable to listen to…haha…  Some of it was fun and enjoyable, while other assignments were a bit more difficult to do and listen to.  When I first read …

This was more difficult than it looks.  I have a lot more respect for movie makers who do this as a living.  I had to use my own voice as well as objects around the house.  For the dog jumping I hit a metal letter opener with a hair brush… …

May I Take Your Order? This assignment allowed me to be British.  I love trying out accents.  My sister and I do it all the time, much to other’s dismay.  Here I ordered food in an English way.  I like the accents and some of the lingo.

Swap Shop For this I acted as both the radio host and the 2 people who called in.  If I were to do this again I would have other people be the callers.  I manipulated my voice to make them all different.  I need to work on my story telling …

A Capella with Yourself Though I am not the best singer in the world by any means I was intrigued to see if I would be able to sing with myself.  When I first did it on audacity I did not know how to get each recording done individually.  With …

Poetry Reading This is a poem by Fiona Davidoson.  I started with her story and made it more of a narrative of prose.  When it ended I went on to take the story to a whole new place.  I enjoyed expanding on another’s creativity in a way to make it …

    Song Lyrics that start and end my day!       It’s the simple things that I love.   Under stated, but completely needed.   Another kind of Bumper Control a new feature film. Getting Creative with Create Wow, that’s a weird face…I LOVE IT!

Audio weeks is over, and this time unlike last time, I’m actually sad to see it go. I thought visual week was the best but I think these past couple of weeks had so much audio packed into that the practice made me more confident with Audacity and working with it. The more confident I ...

I decided to do a radio commercial that had to do with the past, since that was my main contribution to the group. So I made my commercial on jukebox ( a commodity during the 1950′s!) and decided that it would be much more relevant to my time period this way. I also used a ...

The past 3 weeks in ds106 have been crazy hectic. We got back into audio and had to complete 5 stars worth of audio assignments from the ds106 assignment bank, 6 daily creates, a bumper, commercial, foley challenge, and on top of all ...
