Maybe it’s just me but the past few weeks have really flown by! Week one: regular schedule Week two: SPRING BREAK (and I did take a break) Week three: this week, back to regular schedule That’s where the weekly wrap-up comes in.  I’ll be talking audio and radio tonight. —————————————————– The assignment: Make Foley Sounds ...

Audio Assignments- This week we had to do a bumper, commercial, the Foley challenge, and five stars. Here is what I did: Bumper which can be found here Commercial which can be found here Foley Challenge which can be found here The … Continue reading →

My final audio assignment for this week was the Foley Silent Movie assignment.  If I’m being honest I was totally dreading this assignment and put it off until last.  This assignment was to “generate foley sounds using objects you assemble … Continue reading →

We return now to one of the days where the Fandom Princess and her friend, Bryson, skipped their lessons and ventured into the woods to meet up with their good friend Fauna, the famed centaur artist who lived deep in the woods surrounding the castle. The Princess and Bryson sauntered … Continue reading →

In this past couple of weeks, one of our assignments was the Foley Challenge. For those of you who don’t know what Foley is or what a foley artist does, it’s a technique used in not only radio but tv as well to further emphasize certain sounds so that it gives a bigger impact to ...

The time came for the Fandom Prince to return from his adventures out in the mysterious lands across the seas. The Fandom Princess was bubbly with excitement. On the day of his return, the castle was in full blown havoc. The Prince’s parents, like the Princess’s, were highly respectable people. … Continue reading →

So the past couple of weeks have been pretty chaotic, and since the main has been audio, I decided to not focus on audio on my DC’s so that I could the best of multiple world’s, aka visual. I also wanted to dip into the next First DC to kick me off was tdc415, which ...

Now, the Fandom Princess wasn’t always off on adventures. She always managed to put aside time for her to work on her many scholarly homework assignments, such as reading scrolls, researching in the libraries, and working on her arithmetic. One day, while she was doing such in her room, she … Continue reading →

Once when Princess Courtney came to visit the Fandom Princess at Mercury, the Princess decided to take her younger sister to see the Phoenix choir in town, as they were one of her favorite choirs to watch and listen to. They took their seats and moments later the candles in the room … Continue reading →

Audio is something that is close to my heart especially through music. I love listening to things and understand exactly what the artist was talking about. In these past weeks we were doing a lot of different audio challenges that were new to my but I really wanted to try them out and succeed at them. My feelings after these ...

The shows have been recorded ahead of time, but this is the premiere we will play live, and members of the teams will be available to talk about their show and answer questions. You can catch the lineup at http://ds106.us/2013/03/17/spring-is-for-radio-shows/… if all the knobs and buttons work for me (doing this from 12 hours in the future from Hong Kong). ...

Commercials, commercials, commercials who ever likes commercials? I DOO duhh they are so cool. People make 30-45 seconds to persuade someone to buy a product I think it is genius cause it actually works. So when I got the chance to make a commercial I took that opportunity to make one for myself. I think that commercials have some qualities that make them actually commercial even if ...

I never even heard of Foley until we got this assignment. I never knew that other people actually made noise in movies I thought it was the actors all along. Boy was I wrong! After watching several videos (What is Foley Sunds, A Prairie Home Campaion, and Fred Newmen ) like a thousand times I thought ...

Zzzzz…..huh…Oh! I’m sorry! These 3 weeks have been so long that I’d been forgetting to sleep. Between tackling the radio show and……no wait, it was JUST the radio show that got me this exhausted. The other assignments these past weeks … Continue reading →

I did not know how to think about my bumper so I just went with my gut feeling. First  thing was first I had to think about what I was going to say. I honestly had no idea so I just thought back what I heard on other radio stations but they were all too ...

Summary: Alright, well these past couple weeks mainly focused on the radio show project, so outside of the usual daily creates and other assignments, the group project was the biggest task.  My main issue at first with the group project was just trying to communicate with everyone (I’m anti twitter to the point where I ...

Just came up with this on the spot after my group talked about what they did.  Figured I try to throw in a late night food commercial and try to relate it to the group.  Not as long as I hoped for and I feel a little limited using GarageBand cause it only has a ...

I found the assignment called Music Tag worth 3 stars. This should honestly be called  the Jazmin Assignment because I do this on a regular basis when I sing songs. I would be singing a song and then not know the rest of the song so I go and sing a different song but transition with the same ...

What is Foley? According to dictionary.com: Fo·ley [foh-lee] adjective of or pertaining to motion-picture sound effects produced manually: a Foley artist. Origin: after Jack Foley,  sound-effect pioneer at Universal Pictures in the 1930s ———————————- The past week or so working on this project has been veeeeeeerrrry time consuming for me.  Figuring out what is going to ...

These two (really three) weeks were CRAZY! I learned a lot about Taylor Swift that I didn’t really need to know and that I should really read instructions. I willingly restored my computer on Saturday because I just wanted a fresh start before I started working on my video project for a History seminar. I ...

For my final audio assignment I did One Quote A Day which was worth one star.  The instructions for this assignment were “Quotes could be nice only by its own, but it might go further when it went beyond written words. Read your quote for … Continue reading →

The most terrifying assignment of these two weeks was the Foley one. I’m one of those people that needs a million takes to do anything. “Live” just isn’t easy for me. So the assignment was to make the sounds for a Charlie Chaplin movie. I am born in February, so I had to create the ...

For my next audio assignment I did Make Your Own Ringtone which was worth two stars.   The instructions for this assignment were “trim, join end-to-end (cut/paste), and/or play side-by-side audio files in order to create your very own ringtone. Ringtones should be … Continue reading →

The assignment is called Dialogue Mashup worth 4 stars. Oh my goodness this was really easy for me once I found what movies I should do. I wanted to get a good one that made some of since. But I found that finding dialogue in movies is actually pretty hard . So I just did movies that ...

Yes, it is that time of year. March Madness is here! I am a sports girl, always have been always will be. But my love for sports really is at the college level. I’m not sure what it is, but most of these kids are playing because they love the sport, and not for the (continue reading...)

These few weeks went by quickly but I did not forget to do my Daily Creates since they are so fun and sometimes have to make my brain think a little bit. I did the one where i had to take a picture looking out side the best day dreaming window . That was hard for ...

For one of my audio assignments this week I did The Contest Nobody Could Win which was worth two stars.  For this assignment you had to “take six very short fragments (less than one second each) from six different songs and ensemble … Continue reading →

Over the past 3 weeks (2 if you exclude Spring Break), I had to complete 6 daily creates.  At first, I read that as 6 daily creates for one week and I freaked out!  But after reading it again, I ...

If you haven’t picked up on this already by now you probably are completely oblivious (no offense). I talk a lot. There is nothing that I love more than hearing the sound of my own voice, which is why I think that blogging is so much fun, because I just get to ramble. Well it (continue reading...)

While working on our radio show throughout the past few weeks I found myself needing to make an advertisement that has to deal with our radio show. Since we were really focusing on the hardships behind the group project I decided to do an advertisement for something that would help with the tensions that may (continue reading...)
