Adapt an artist’s work [remixed]: Dr Suess It   How adorable is this little guy? ——————— Because only one other person had completed this assignment and they used American Gothic (rad) I was excited…then I saw something Twilight. ENOUGH OF TWILIGHT  already world! It turned me off to using any part of the originally remixed ...

After watching parts 1 and 3 of everything is a remix, I felt much more knowledgeable on the subject of remixes. While my prior understanding of remix was just the audio version in which artists would come out with new versions of a song, this series expanded my mind to understand that everything truly is ...

For the Favorite Sports Teams Mashup Assignment, we are asked to combine the logo of two or more of your favorite sports teams. I think I have made it obvious throughout the semester that the New York Jets & the New York Yankees are my two favorite teams, so choosing the logos to combine was ...

For the remix your vacation with the Popcorn maker first let me tell you that the Popcorn maker was being very difficult with me and my computer because every time I would try to rewind and replay a part it will still go from where it was. I think it was just my computer though. For this ...

Seriously, this title is perfect for the remix assignment that I ended up with. The original assignment was to photograph a Barbie partaking in 1 or more of the seven deadly sins (which is genius and I have no idea why I didn’t do that assignment earlier this semester) and the remix was to make (continue reading...)

Using discarded media, I made this little nugget. It is the story of a simple, fun day in the sun, shared between two people.     I enjoyed this exercise.  What is the saying?  “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Tutorial using Popcorn Maker 1. Find your media! I used the DS106 media bin. I looked around for a few minutes and tried to connect pieces. If you’re limited in your media, like I was, I would try looking for the sounds/video clips first since those will usually be the most scarce. I found two sound ...

This tutorial is for the Movie Trailer Mashup assignment. You can see my blog post about my work here. This is the video that I made using the same steps you can read about below.

Whew! This past couple weeks have been kinda crazy. I have to saw that Remix was definitely not one of my favorite weeks. But thankfully I survived… now on to the final project. But before I get going with that, … Continue reading →

Another assignment that just… spoke to me: Movie Trailer Mashup. Take your favorite movie trailer and mash it up with a different trailer to completely change the meaning of the original trailer. For example, if you have a funny movie trailer, give it the sound of a terrifying movie; or vice versa. It took me ...

Here is a quick tutorial on how to make my own assignment “It’s Vacation time“. First you need to decide what vacation you want to make a video out of and gather all the pictures. I find it easiest to … Continue reading →

But Mozilla Popcorn, doesn’t taste anything like I remember.   Popcorn is supposed to be light, fluffy and easy to eat.  This was heavy, clunky, and hard to digest.    It isn’t awful, just didn’t make the process any fun.  The end result is -eh. at best.  

For my second star assignment I choose Actor Transformation. This assignment was to pick an actor and put to together different clips from through out their career to show how much they have changed over the years. I immediately knew … Continue reading →

For this remix assignment, I was asked to list what I am thankful for in 10 seconds. The remixed portion came in the form of pink – and required that I “make the assignment more pink”. Ultimately, this assignment was short and sweet, just the way I like my d106 assignments. I grabbed a pink ...

Leonardo DiCaprio has been in over 20 hugely successful films, and yet he has no Oscar to show for it. I figured the best way to show my love for his work and to do my assignments was to work on the Actor Transformation mashup. He’s an amazing actor, and through this video, you can ...

For this Recycled Media assignment, I was to use recycled media from past ds106 students to create a story. This was difficult to do, as most of the media was completely unrelated. My idea started with this audio clip, and from there I let my mind run wild until I came up with some sort ...

Jonathan Worth shared a collection of portrait photos he did of Cory Doctorow that we must use to remix, regenerate, and make our own. I chose to base my remix on one of his book’s, Pirate Cinema.  The plot is ...

After going to the Remix Generator and refreshing a few times I settled on a project.  The original project The Freudian Alphabet.  The Remix was to add in Waldo! I chose a letter that was not part of my name and was not overly or underly used…  If that makes sense. …

Okay, maybe not a master but still. Teaching is what I like doing, so of course doing tutorials just seemed natural for me. I really enjoy using the Print Screen button on my computer, so tutorials is seriously perfect for me. It’s a shame that I learned about screencasts in my other class after I (continue reading...)
