Final Summary For Week Three:  This week has been mixed to say the least. I was excited that we got to participate in the sound part of the course. Given that I had few problems with sound-cloud, I wasn’t to worried. This week I also began to ramp up work at my job. It will […]

Another week has gone by with ds106 and this means I have another week’s worth of programing under my belt.  The main tool I have used this week was Audacity, and I must say this will definitely be a program I will use well after this class is over. When I first seen that we […]

Daily Creates: TDC 912: Banana Eating a Strawberry TDC 914: Vintage TDC 915: Great Tasting Food TDC 917: Pink Audio Assignments: Deer Robs a Bank Ship Caught in Storm Quarter Pounder with 5 Slices of Cheese? Bacon Quest Sound Foley

This assignment was rather difficult and took a lot of coordinating to get down. However, it was very rewarding once the final product came out and now I can’t wait to attach it to the film itself. Since there was … Continue reading →

This week brought about some trouble for me. Per usual, the daily creates were a delight. However, the audio assignments gave me a little bit of trouble. I’ve been experiencing some shotty internet connection recently and that prohibited me from doing some of the more complex audio assignments. However, I really enjoyed doing the voicemail […]

I thought this would be a funny segment to cover. I am originally from the Philippines and I am surrounded by accents on a regular basis. If my family decides to have a vacation, it’s at least thirty people with heavy accents. Personally, I don’t have an accent because I am heavily Americanized. However, after spending the weekend with my…

Delta Gamma Nu and always in pink: Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. An instant classic. As a blonde, this film was one of my absolute favorites growing up. At the peak of middler school era “dumb blonde” jokes, this movie always gave me a positive outlook on being blonde. While they sexualize her in the […]

Write an artistic statement for yourself; by all means, DO NOT USE http://www.artybollocks.com. Heck, do not even click http://www.artybollocks.com http://tdc.ds106.us/artistic-statement/   My work explores the relationship between Critical theory and emotional memories.With influences as diverse as Derrida and L Ron Hubbard, new variations are created from both orderly and random discourse. Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by… Read more →

As my team was on our way back to the radio station in Fredericksburg City, we passed a cell phone tower that was on fire in Amherst County. The tall tower had flames that were very noticeable in broad daylight. After reporting the fire to the county, fire trucks rushed to scene. In order to receive details of the fire,…

This assignment was to create a parody self reflection of the ds106 website. While everything I said was so far left, it was very hard to keep a straight face while completing it. I got my families help for this assignment. I decided to take the direction of making it a panel to ensure that the length was correct and… Read more →

English muffins and tea, please. Where could I possibly be from? I chose this audio assignment because I think it taps in to the notion that McDonald’s, although they may appear to be universal, can be quite different from country to country. I have been inside McDonald’s in Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Shanghai, Melbourne, London, etc. […]

I decided to pick this Assignment as my audio assignment with a similar void of Don LaFontaine. Most teenagers act like they are going to die without their cell phones, so I decided to see if I could do a story using this concept. I picked a photo Google for shocked teenagers for this audio. […]

Today’s Daily Create assignment is: Draw an @amyburvall Style Message (yes, you must use pink) I chose a Maya Angelou quote for my @amyburvall style message. Pink being the most important feature of this artistic style. I used a drawing tool application to execute this assignment.

For my Sound Effect story, I decided to recreate a simple shower! Here are the sounds I used: Shower Curtains Faucet Shower Head Running Shower Whistling Squirt Bottle  Soapy Sounds More Soapy Sounds Wet Footsteps  Ahhh I found all of my sounds using FreeSound.org. I used Audacity to combine my sounds together.  I downloaded the sounds […]

The assignment prompt was very straightforward, and that made the creation and editing of the assignment very straightforward as well, even though it was time-consuming. I used Camtasia to both record and edit the audio, since it is on a free 30 day trial and this class lasts less than that, and has all the […]

I have to say once again this week is definitely pushing me outside of my comfort zone, but that’s a good thing. It’s about time I break away from the visual and focus more on the audio. This assignment is … Continue reading →

Ta-da! Here is my first audio recording on SoundCloud! I thought it was going to be much more of a hassle to create an account, but I actually found the site to be very manageable and well designed! I chose an avatar picture as a measure for personalizing my profile. I am excited to use […]

This assignment was a challenge. We were asked to create a sound that would follow along with Charlie Chaplin’s movie. This is the original clip I was to recreate. That was the original clip. This is my recreation. Enjoy: In this clip, there were four distinct sounds that I had to recreate. 1. Charlie Shaking […]

I honestly didn’t have much inspiration for this – I picked a generic quote, and drew it up in GIMP, trying to stick to the style I saw. It’s not nearly as neat as the other artist’s style, though I feel I made it similar enough, with disjointed multiple lines used to make letters. Didn’t […]

For my second audio assignment I created the voice mail of a character from a TV show! Since it is a TV show, and probably not everyone has watched it as many times as I have, I will give a few hints: There 7 seasons. One of the main characters left an actual voice mail […]

  So this is story is kind of short.  My father taught me how to play guitar.  I took separate lessons, but he really got me into it and taught…

Today’s daily create was challenging. I didn’t quite understand the requirements, so you can say I winged it. The assignment stated that we draw Amy a style message. I didn’t know what a style message was, plus the World Cup final game was one. So, you could say my attention was diverted into two separate […]

Today’s daily create was to make up an artistic statement about yourself. Here is mine: Art is my way of looking at things through different eyes. The way I see things day to day are different from the way I see them when I want to draw it. I notice every little detail then. The […]

For the foley assignment I had to generate my own sounds that would follow along with Charlie Chaplin’s movie, The Circus.  Since I was born in April, I have to make sounds from 1:31-2:00. Check it out here: It took me two days to make this sound as close as I got it.  The hardest part was making the […]

So, for this audio assignment I chose to do Use the Voice.  Using a voice over similar to the famous Don LaFontaine, I had to create a movie trailer out of an everyday thing, or something normal.  I chose to do the birth of a baby because I feel like this is such an everyday thing that […]

So the three weeks that we have been in this class has flown by! I can’t even remember what we’re supposed to do every week, it goes by so fast! I had a very hard time with this weeks assignments because I haven’t ever really done anything with audio, besides buy it. So it was […]
