4/15

I created the script on this day the script was originally difficult to get started with but once I found the foundation I desired it came out smoothly. It was important for me to write the sound effects into the script to be sure the placements made sense.

4/19

I started with getting all the audio files downloaded using ttsmaker for the narrator, Yohan, and Agent Diamond Flame. All the sound effects came from free sites like Pixabay or free sound.org

4/21

This was the day I started cutting up the audio and placing items into bandlab. I’m pretty experienced with using Bandlab for projects and use it for all audio work so it went smoothly.

4/23

This is the day I started creating my visual portion of the work. I started with attempting to geranted A.i photos using  Gemini, magic studio, and craiyon. Some photos came out perfect the first time like the emp’s but photos revolving around the characters were the hardest to remain consistent. I then started placing the photos in canvas and editing the audio in video and correlation.

4/25

This is the day I turned in the project, I finalized all edits and had a few friends review my video to give opinions once they saw it and gave feedback I tweaked anything that needed fixing and I turned it in.

This week went by quick but I finally feel back on track and may have a chance to get ahead of things this weekend. This week we were assigned to complete 3 daily creates. The first challenged us to generate a spy name, this actually helped me with my project as I created a character from the name I generated and will hopefully be able to make them a part of the final project. For the second we were challenged to create a poem from a conversation we overheard and I loved how my poem turned out and actually found it catchy. The last create of the week had us honor our pets for national pet day which was awesome as a pet owner. It was refreshing to see everyone’s pet and finish the week with a wholesome daily create. For assignments this week we were only given one which had us face a more challenging task in creating a trailer for our final project . 

This week zoomed by quickly. I’ve been super busy as the semester is coming to a close. This week we were responsible for 3 daily creates which I was able to get done in the backend of the week. I was able to decide what was behind my door like the legend of Narnia, became a philosopher and attempted to solve a page of the Voynich manuscript, and to end the week was able to question the origins of the golden gate bridge’s name. The radiolisten was very eye opening and showed just how creative my classmates truly are. Seeing what everyone is capable of has me excited to see everyone’s final project and prepared to bring my A game for my own.

Week 10 Summary:

Week 10 was a good week for me personally I feel back on track. Me and my group were able to complete the project on time, I’m happy with the overall outcome of our project originally I wasn’t sure how my sound effects and editing would come out and it felt forced, but once I found the flow and timing of the podcast the uncertainty left me and I was able to produce a enjoyable product for the listener. Most of the work done this week is explained in my Noir Games podcast post if you’d like more insight into the process of creating for our podcast.

Daily creates:

During this week we were responsible for 2 daily creates which I was able to get done. The first daily creation I completed asked us to tell what we love I decided to show off some green beans I harvested from last year’s harvest that I absolutely loved. Gardening is an important part of my life and as I get older the more I grow to appreciate the skill. For the second daily creation we were asked what our personal opinion was on the creative possibility of limits, boarders and all kinds of dividers this immediately made me think of the speed limit as this is the most common border I have issue with. Boarders like the speed limit are important in regulating a society, even though anyone could speed its borders like this that may help deter certain parties from speeding and help limit the number of fatal crashes, although I may not like driving the speed limit and I may be safe going a little bit over it is still smarter to follow the rules set in place by society for everybody’s sake.

This week was a busy one in the world of ds106 I created multiple project that will hopefully be useful when creating our final draft. To begin I created a commercial for our upcoming Noir games podcast with help from the good ole doc. Next I created a intermission for our radio show that reminds the viewer to get outside touch some grass and get a breath of fresh air, then I created a Noir games logo using canva which originally I didn’t like but after some much needed editing have grown to quite enjoy. To conclude the week we were responsible for 3 daily creates this week which I was able to get done: the first was at list something that confused us, next I punch-carded a part of the Danny Phatom theme song one of my favorite shows from my childhood, and to end the week I attempted to copy the famous Italian opera singer Giuseppe De Luca pose and was successful but the picture says otherwise.

Daily creates:

1. The first daily creates of the week was post something that shows what confusion means to us personally, and it instantly clicked in my head. The random dress that had the entire world confused on which color it was was a perfect example, not only did this confused me but it confused almost everyone who came across it causing for explanation videos to be made just to gather some understanding of what was going on.
2. Next I created a punch card using an phrase, and I saw my group mate cinder decided to do part of the sponge Bob intro so I took inspiration from that and did another nickelodeon show Danny Phantom which was one of my childhood favorites.
3. To end the week I attempted to copy a pose from the famous Italian opera singer Giuseppe De Luca and passed unsuccessfully as I was able to make and hold the pose for a moment, but when I attempted to look at the timer on the camera I lost my balance and fell just as the phone snapped the picture.

Week 8 was about forming our groups for the upcoming radio show project and doing daily creates that challenged our mental creativity. My favorite daily create of the week was getting to colorize a photo in pimpin’ purple using canva, it was harder than I expected and I couldn’t find the car I was looking for but I was able to find something similar. I also really enjoyed the daily create in which we were questioned on what we would want named after us. It made me think about what type of legacy I want to leave on the world and if I would ever be able to do something great enough to join the having something named after me club. The last daily create was fun and simple as I found a picture on X (formally Twitter) that honored pi day in a creative way by baking a pie outlined with the numerical value of pi surrounding the outer rim. I look forward to finishing strong and getting started with the group project, right now we’re working on the beginning phases like scheduling and contact methods.

Daily creates:

Daily create number 1: which was inspired by a Kurt Vonnegut tweet that questioned us on what we would want named after us giving the example of shrapnel being invited by a Englishman with the same name. This reminded my of Henry Ford and his major effect on car industry, with that in mind I decided to take a pinch of his success and would take over dodge and have it named after me.

Daily create number 2: challenged us to pick a color from a list that appeals to us and colorize a photo with it. I decided to do pimpin’ purple and customize a car with it as it reminded me of the character a ‘a pimp named slicked back’ from the boondocks a popular show.

Daily create number 3: The final daily create I did for the week was to honor Pie day (3.14…) and for this post I found a pie someone either created using A.i or baked in honor of pie day on X.

Summary:

This week went by quickly and i’m excited that we finally made it to the weekend. This week I did 3 visual assignments with the majority of the editing being done using Canva. I really enjoyed creating the visual content for this week and appreciate any opportunity to improve my editing as well as trouble shooting skills. I can see myself using Canva in the future whether that is for an employer or to create my own content.

Assignments:

The first assignment I completed was creating my top ten list in which I decided to list my Yohan’s (my characters) favorite video games. Next I took the ‘walk of life‘ and created my own movie ending scene with the audio. This was by far the hardest assignment for me to complete this week and took a lot of trial and error. To end the week I saved the most simple assignment for last in which was creating a goofy tik tok of a pet using a viral sound. I decided to use Jaxx Yohan’s pet Malinois as the star actor and quickly finished the assignment.

Daily creates:

This week we were assigned two daily creates. For my first post I decided to show off my safe spaces where I know I can go and be at peace and relax like the beach and woods. For my second post I decided to recite the phrase in a Scottish accent, which I failed at horrible but did have a good laugh doing.

This week was a fast one, I feel like it was just Monday yesterday but somehow here I am writing another weekly summary post for this week. I showed off an amazing bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich which I believe is the best, I did a SnapChat Photoshop of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce which came out perfect for what the assignment goal was, and last I attempted to make a class header and while I was the first to upload I came back to take a glance and saw some of the amazing header my classmates made it quickly made me realize just how amazing a simple header could be I was really impressed by their work. This week I went with all visual assignments as I hope to improve me editing creativity.

This week was a busy week to say the least to be honest I opened the course pretty late into the week and fell behind with the daily creates, now that I understand the flow of the course and see you need to be checking deadlines everyday and being prepared earlier sooner than later I will be prepare for next week, to compensate I will do my remaining daily crates this weekend for the course purpose. For the daily creates I did complete, they were interesting. Thursday’s birthday celebration(happy 14th ds106 radio)brought back good childhood memories of being in the car with my family and hearing that birthday song on the radio. The other create I was able to get done was the one from today which was creating a poem with emojis with and I attempted to be creative with my approach and instead of making a custom poem like everyone else I decided to go with the itzy bitzy spider to see if anyone would make the connection. I did see the shadow daily create on Wednesday but sadly it was too dark by the time I realized. 

My first week has been pretty busy since this is my last semester, i’m taking a few higher level course so the workload has come a little bit earlier than expected, despite the quick start I’ve been adjusting well and feel its made me focus even more than I typically would.
