This is an awesome class. The only thing that throws me off is the amount of freedom you have in it. I’m so used to a strict guideline that the freedom this class offers throws me off a little. The most interesting work i have done in this class would be creating gifs. I’ve always... Read more: Life in ct101 Continue reading →

CT 101 is not at all what I expected. When I read “Digital Storytelling,” the untold story inside of me, leaped from my dreams, and had hopes of being published. But, to my surprise, Digital Storytelling is not my type of storytelling. Even though, I did not like the hassle of making my own website, […] Continue reading →

  I was in computer and felt motivated by my teacher’s words to try something. Photoshop is still new to me and it’s very confusing at times because I dont know what to create or how to create it through Photoshop. I become very intimidated because I know it will be a lot of learning on … Read More → Continue reading →

For this project I wanted to do an animation based on the play of the word reign. Plus I also wanted to have a sand effect into a rain sequence. Below is the first part (of 4) of the tutorial that inspired me to do a similar intro. The difference with this project was that besides me adding my personalized touch, this assignment was done in class in less than 3 hours.

That is me acting out this scene from my favorite movie, Batman: Under the Red Hood. I originally did it for extra points in another class but long story short that never came to be. However, I had the unedited audio laying around … Continue reading →

For this week’s digital storytelling project I used the visual assignments section of the DS 106 assignment bank and found an assignment entitled “My Favorite Lyric”. For this assignment I had to take some lyrics from a song that made me “feel” something and make it visual. The song I decided to use was one […] Continue reading →

Let me first say that this was probably the toughest assignment I had in the motion graphics class and took me over the course of 3 days to complete. The task was to create a animation of a song that you liked. So we had to use audio effects, 3D layers & background effects for about 15 to 30 secs.

I knew going in I wanted to use 3D elements, but also words and symbols to be represent what was being […]
