Listen to Lo Down 009 I’m excited to create a bumper, should be fun and not too difficult of a task to tackle. There were some great examples of bumpers in the podcast. Especially, Aetherbunny’s PLEASE ENJOY YOUR MUSIC. Do I detect a GLaDOS inspired voice? Any Portal Fans?

“Animate your favorite music performer, it need not be rock and roll (bu of course “Rock and Roll will never die”) – see if you can capture the essence of a single performer and their relationship to music or their instrument.” I made this GIF from Childish Gambino performance at Rock The Bells in 2011. ...

Adventure in a Day! Use whatever camera option you have (photobooth, instagram, etc.) and go on an adventure for the day! Many photobooths on the computer have the option to get different backgrounds and pretend you’re somewhere else. Use them and try to create a story around that photo. An extra star if you can ...

For this assignment (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/budding-entrepreneur/) I was supposed to make a new product that is silly.  Here is a little advertisement I made based on the Twilight Zone episode Eye of the Beholder. I am advertising a new type of plastic surgery they could use to make an “ugly” person the way they want them to […]

Every time, I export the clip into a image sequence and once the program starts preparing it just freezes. I got it to work one time through the freeze because the images magically appeared on my desktop somehow. I need those experts again…

For this assignment (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/bumper-sticker/) I was supposed to create a bumper sticker. I thought that doing a twilight zone bumper sticker would be a great idea. I thought of a good quote as well. With the twilight zone, its not actually reality, there is so much more, so many more dimensions, and it makes you […]

tdc508: Write a story from the point of view of your favorite food, but don’t say what it is. Make us guess. I can’t believe what these humans do to me just so they can munch me up, breaking all of my friends into one pile of mush. We then sit in this cave and ...

Lo Down 006 I’m liking how the background music is becoming a normality in the Lo Downs. Even though smell-o-vision is not a thing, as soon as you said Pancit, my nostrils associated a smell. Other than being a proud American, I am a proud Filipino. For those that haven’t been blessed on your taste ...

Listen to Lo Down 005. The Netvibes page was a excellent solution to streamlining the feeds and I added this to my favorites as soon as the podcast was over. Great suggestion to using audacity as well. I have used this program before, mainly to rip some songs on vinyl to mp3. Also, I’m glad ...

Lo Down Number 4, which can be listened to here. Quite long, but enjoyable regardless. The beginning transported me to another world, and totally was embodied by the vibes of Bahrain; from the music played on the radio of Mr. Scott’s Toyota Yaris to the sounds created by the environment of the Persian Gulf. I’ve ...

Design Concepts Design itself is the planning of an object’s presentation so that it achieves its purpose. Color helps to create moods and draw the attention of lookers to key elements. This can be done using bold colors, or no color at all depending on the purpose and the emotion that is intended. There are … Continue reading →

The most useful tool that I found out there on the world wide web was the .org website for “Creative Commons”… creativecommmons.org. They spelled out exactly what creative commons is and their mission statement and then went on earlier to explain each of the six licenses in an elementary way. I appreciated this elementary type … Continue reading →

Episode #010 Listening to Old school baby! I love it! Bringing back the oldies, 1970! Arch Ovler’s Neanderthal. I totally butchered that!

It has been crushed.

MUSIC!!!! It’s kind of loud. I’m pumped though, mostly because my ears are ringing and my hair is standing due to blown ear drums. He speaks a little bit about the audio stuff, but mostly tells us to follow our … Continue reading →

I initially wanted to do the invader in color, but I found it was a lot more fun to do something no one would expect. Like the plank of wood he had been behind. Three Stars!

So for this assignment we had to choose a word and express what it meant all in one type face and here’s what I did: Figure it out? Pretty random, huh? Difficulty: 2 stars View the Original Assignment Here

Make ‘em Laugh! Find a good, brief joke in a language other than your mother tongue; if you don’t know any other languages this might be a good way to start learning. Record your voice telling the joke focusing on pronunciation and try to make it sound as natural as you can with appropriate vocal ...

Just another short radio segment, no music. He names some audio tools and talks about how Jim Groom spoke with some faculty.
