I thought this week was a lot more fun than last week! I really enjoyed executing the video assignments– I am particularly glad I discovered Vine! I had fun with my product review video of my iPhone 5 as well. The daily creates were fun, per usual. And I loved getting comments on my posts […]

This assignment called “Speed up your work day” was pretty cool and I really like how it turned out. Since it is a weekend and I am not at work I decided to record my ds106 day! The whole premise … Continue reading →

Decision making can be a tasking chore on anyone especially important decisions. Life sometimes offers us easy and hard decisions, but what is important to know is all decisions have a consequence. Stairs can be a reminder we are climbing tough hills sometimes when making decisions to avoid certain consequences. The waiting effect at top […]

and so the comment war begins as we finish up this week of ds106. LOL!

For this, I looked at the Chipmunk Video Assignment and couldn’t possibly resist – there were so many good scenes to choose from to chipmunk and make a funny scene even funnier. I went with Angel Beats! for the series since it actually has a lot of instant gratification humor that you don’t see coming […]

Who remembers spending hours at a time in front of the tv playing your favorite game? Whether you played Super Mario Bros or Zelda, Sonic or War of Witchcraft, we all had different systems we used to play these games.  As we grew up, so did the gaming world.  It seemed like every year we […]

Week 4 was STRESSFUL to say the least. I started working on the assignments a lot earlier this week and still didn’t finish until Sunday. I think that for this week, I was a lot more unfamiliar with the technology that we are using. I had some trouble without downloading and things like that. The […]

To me, this video seemed like one that would go viral pretty quickly. I think that people would be very entertained by some guy getting locked in a lion enclosure. Therefore, I decided to create a story in which This video has been an internet sensation: I don’t usually watch Tosh.0, but I know that […]

The two videos I watched were of zooms and one-point perspectives, and they gave a great number of examples of things I’d seen before – one point perspectives, in particular, had me thinking of the classic Scooby Doo chase scenes, where a series of doors line either end of a hallway, and the characters seemingly […]

I was trying to figure out what kind of assignment I could do, but then I started researching on YouTube about animals.  I came across this video I seen in the past that I thought was so adorable with the babies and dogs talking to each other, more like noise. One of my dear friends […]

So to start this project, I had to make a mess.   I had to dump out a glass of milk on the table. First of, it is actually difficult…

I quite liked Bruce Almighty as a comedy, being both silly and entertaining with a few serious moments thrown in, so when I saw this on the playlist of recommended clips, I knew I’d have a fun time analyzing it too. Since all the characters are stationary for the majority of the scene, the camera […]

I have been watching vines for some time now, but I have never had the app. Some the vines can be drop dead hilarious, whilst others are far from anything clever. Making a vine is actually simple especially if you … Continue reading →

For this blog post, I decided to analyze a scene from The Dark Knight, more speficially, the scene when the Joker interrupts a mob meeting and dramatically shows them “a pencil trick” with very dark and dangerous connotations. When I watched the clip without any audio: I noticed the camera angle was almost continuously moving. […]

  I used to work at Fountainhead Regional Park.  Our park was pretty big and we rented boats so that customers could go out on the Occoquan Reservoir.   In…

To begin, I found Ebert’s descriptive of movement in cinematography to be very interesting. He explained how the movement of characters, in addition to the movement of camera angle, can infer both positive and negative connotations. A quote of his that I found very helpful was, “Right is more positive, left more negative. Movement to […]

I chose to do the product review video assignment because I do not think I can emphasize enough how important easy, instant, and engaging communication is to my generation these days. The plain and simple fact is: iPhone make life easier. I feel comfortable saying that for many reasons. They eliminate a wide range of […]

As you can see from the movie scene above, I chose to analyze Evan Baxter’s Newscast scene from Evan Almighty. Before I get into the actual analyzing of the scene, I must say I had to watch it more than three times because it was so funny. But I analyzed this scene three different ways; just the clip (no audio),… Read more →

Wearin’ my Jesus sandals, exploring paths unknown. The exquisite nature of this mosaic is unforgettable. Each piece of stone strategically placed, an inspiration for my life. Glad I could share it with my fellow Daily Creators Today’s Daily Create assignment is: “Show your mood today by taking a picture of stairs. Show your feet too. […]

When I was younger, I remember looking at movies and just taking them for face value, you know, pretty pictures, funny lines, cute actors. But as I grew older I started to analyze what I saw. I started to look at the actual meaning of why the movie was made and what it was trying to portray. After reading Roger… Read more →
