Daily Create 17 For this daily create I chose my brand new octopus that I bought for my soon coming baby and decided to teach him how to fly I put him on the top of the fan and he was happily flying making some nice music  

    For this assignment, I decided to raid my own room. I grew up watching Room Raiders in high school. I always found it entertaining to raid a room without notice because there is a bunch of surprises of what could be found. It was a spur of the moment decision as in I saw the assignment and raided…

I decided to create a Design Assignment. It took me a while to decide what to do for this assignment. I’m a very visual person that is why visual work is easier and more pleasant for me to do So I decided to choose one of my favorite books (now movies) – Pride and Prejudice. […]

Tutorial I was not able to paste my snapshots, so I have to explain this tutorial just by text and I hope it is clear enough and I did not forget or miss a step. First you need to find a video and song that want to blend or mashup  together. For some reason I […]

  I was having fun with a paper ball! Please enjoy.

For my Visual Assignment 1 I chose 1 Second Video from the Assignment Bank. I would like to tell you a story in 1 second : ) One winter day my friends and I were traveling to Pennsylvania. On the way there we stopped at the rest area. My girlfriends and I came out of […]

For this assignment I chose a scene from Dumb and Dumber movie.   The camera work. The scene where Jim Carry tries on suits the camera in right behind Jeff’s head. It makes the viewer feel like we are watching him try suits on together. When Jim is getting his pedicure done the camera slowly goes down from […]

I made this great idea for a mashup assignment! Take a movie that you really like.  Now think of a movie that has been compared to it, and make a new movie poster that incorporates the two! Be creative and really sell your poster! Everyone knows that for a while, the Harry Potter series and […]

Okay guys we are almost at the end. That means that I am getting more and more work piled on. I am taking another course along with this one so this week has been HECTIC. Anyway, this week I did four daily creates. I miscalculated my time this week and one was late but I still enjoyed doing it. Well… Read more →

This Video Assignment was fairly simple. I had to make a video review about a movie and show a clip of the movie I was discussing. Well that was pretty easy. I was very nervous about talking in front of the camera but I think I got my point across. To create the video, I used the wondershare software again.… Read more →

Hey guys, so for this weeks visual assignment I decided to do a time lapse video of an activity. At first when I saw this assignment I thought to myself wow, this might be a little hard but after doing so many other assignments, it came to me very naturally. To start I had to actually film myself completing an… Read more →

Couldn’t really think of a good title for this blog post, so I kind of copped out. I’ll dive right into the assignments: TDCs - Well, I managed to just straight-up forget the daily creates six days out of seven this week – I went on a nocturnal sleep schedule, so I’d go to bed right […]

Felt a bit odd this week. Not sick, just… odd. This photo reflects that.

The fourth week has quickly came and went. I thought I had a better rhythm this week and planned things out accordingly. I must had misread the weeks assignments and did not think we had daily creates this wee which when I found out put me be behind this week. I was able to complete […]

This week was not easier than the previous one. It was absolutely challenging. I have learnt about movie editing and mastered the daily create posts:-) At least some things like daily creates are something that I don’t think about- I just do them I’m confident now to even draw a picture of a nature where […]

Making a time lapse video isn’t something I’ve done before, and it’s pretty easy as things go. I decided to make a time lapse of daily quests in Mount Hyjal from World of Warcraft because it has a pretty substantial story behind it instead of just being a group of quests with smaller objectives – […]

For this assignment I had to read and write a reflection for the Roger Ebert’s article “How to read a movie”. The article I have read presents a filmmaker’s view on how to analyze a movie. It gives an insight to movements, backgrounds, foreground, and angles that filmmakers use to express different emotions or aspects […]

As each week gets harder I learn how to better use different software.  This was the week of the video and it was without a doubt the most trying.  I would say the funniest assignment I did was the Movies by Number one, simply because it was fun finding all the pictures to use for […]

It’s been a while now since I realized my lucky number is 4.  I see this number everywhere I go, no matter what format it’s in.  Not only that but I was born on 4/14, April 14.  Hmm. I decided to do the Movies by Number assignment on the number 4 for these reasons.   […]

Hey ds106 community. So I have finally finished editing my chaplin foley video. It actually was not that hard for me. I started by choosing a video editing software. I started with my windows video maker but for the life of me I could not figure out how to take the sound out. So I ended up using a free… Read more →

Man what an ending to such a great week worth of assignments. I have to say this week did not go as well as expected mainly because of a crap load of computer malfunctions. For whatever reason my computer decided … Continue reading →

Although it’s sad to me that I have to work on Sundays, I look at all the positive things :). This was taken at my job’s stairwell. I like this place because of the glass background. I added a rainbow-ish filter to the picture.

Technology always seems to fail exactly when it is needed. I have been using iMovie more frequently than I normally do because of ds106 and it seems to have taken its toll. Every time I try to create a new … Continue reading →
