What

a

week

…

Lots of things to get done and not a lot of time and there is still more to do next week. Of course, that is going to be just as time consuming, but I will do my best to work hard. The content this week was just me glaring at Audacity wondering what I was doing wrong and pressing the undo button again. If I could alter it to dark mode perhaps my eyes would hurt less. The light never hurt more after staring at a screen all day do, they bleh. I have been taught if I don’t have anything nice to say just don’t say it so I shall keep my mouth zipped and just grumble under my breath. I am just not a fan of group anything since no one is paying me. I call what I do secretary work yes; I could make and plan everything but why should I? the word group is in the name. I am a control freak with time anxiety not a great combo. Still, I have learned to treat people like they are adults and have learned to take a step back and let it happen. Some time it goes well other times it may not but as long as I can see people are trying it’s all cool.

There has been progress here and there almost everywhere, now tis time for the moon to rise and for me to follow the sun and go down for the night

Also learned how to add gifs from Giphy

Radio Show Progress

I gave myself a few tasks to pull together the project, making an ad radio bumper, intro music, and background music. In my eyes that’s not too much since it’s not like I have to get it all done in one day. If I had my way it would be an item a day but, my schedule does not allow such willfulness. These are the items I have made so far for the project.

Quite a bit of stuff honestly, I work hard for the sake of resting later! I really struggle with audio assignments overall, so I am feeling drained had more fun just using Canva it was nice. Next up is recording dialogue and adding any needed effects. Hope it comes out well. All of these have their own story and own effort, and I am sure my group mates are working just as hard.

Game show music

For the background music I wanted something techy but not focus grabbing since it’s only background music.

Of course, it’s not perfect but the point isn’t perfection.

Freesound – Buzzer sounds (Wrong answer / Error) by Breviceps

Freesound – 10661 bonus correct answer.wav by Robinhood76

I wanted to make the listener remember game shows they may have watched when they were younger going for the nostalgia factor. I made this using Audacity once again and sounds from Freesound. Made sure to add the sources above the sound cloud.

For this audio I was a bit stuck on how to do it since it’s not like I was going to make a mini game show. As the Audio assignment said I was trying to just create a place, and my place happened to be in a studio during a game show. I did more splitting and way too may adjustments. Learned something very unfortunate if the segment is too small it’s very hard to move and adjust! So, I had to keep cutting and pasting. Still, I managed to make it work with some good ol elbow grease.

Radio Bumper

Since I hate the sound of my own voice it’s only natural, I would use the tools at my disposal.

So, I used something new Robot Voice Generator (play/download) ― LingoJam.

Go robo. go robo. go!

I took a bit more time on this since I was taking time to think about how I wanted it to come out. I spent a while looking through the available sounds since I knew I would struggle making it personally so after a while of searching I found what I needed. Using Audacity I put it together and changed the sound, so it was more suitable for what I needed. Took an hour longer than I was hopping but it was well worth the effort I put in. Quite a bit of split and adjustments finally allowed me to put it together the way I really wanted it to! So, yippee!

Time to introduce this week’s daily creates. OOOOO AHHHH say it with me~ made with special help from our best boi Canva and google searches! FUFUFU as you know it was St. patties day. So, I wasn’t shocked when the topic came up and I wasn’t wearing anything green. So, I designed a nice badge that I can where the day comes up! As for the 18th if I was at work I would’ve had many options for taking pictures of confusion.

😂 

As for the shoes rather than using paint on my laptop, I realized that Canva would offer the tools I needed so I am pleased with how it came out. I had much more energy this week so for once I am feeling enthusiastic. AHAHAH my work reflects that of course since it has a bit more of a personal touch rather than just trying to get a task done. Pretty good week~ myah to my fans and enemies!

Bumper Sticker

This is my bumper sticker for the Noir Game show. The joke is meant to be against humans degrading, yes. I am basically imagining that Dr. Oblivion is saying this and being rude and sarcastic. So, it is a joke at the expense of humans made my artificial intelligence something I imagine it would do a lot if it could. So, I really dug into that, going with my idea that Technoir is a time where AI rules while giving man a false sense of secretly making them think they are in control. That is why I chose a lightbulb attached to a brain rather than one or the other. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

I made this using Canva very happy to know that there was already a template for the bumper sticker, I struggled trying to figure out what font to use since it’s futuristic but also bumper sticker, I chose a light teasing vibe over something stiff and robotic. So, for once bubbly text rather than glitchy. Of course you are still being mocked. For coloring I wanted to stick to blue but admittedly it’s a but dark, but I dislike bright colors. Still, it came out nice.

Noir Games Ad

This is a short ad for the Noir Games, definitely more technical than I wanted originally, but I think this sort of ad would be playing in a rich district. I made this ad in Canva once, although I couldn’t bring my exact vision to life, this still came out pretty well. I wanted to make it seem floatier, so I added a slight floating effect. Still, it came out pretty nice, so I like it. It took about an hour to make it; I’m still not fully satisfied with it, but I’m still happy to see a vision come to life. This is the type of ad one would see in a shopping district or in a higher-end area. Just one of many ads that would appear, the more tasteful type of ads are shown in blue.

Radio Show Intro

Radio Intro – Assignment Bank

This is a short intro I made with the help of the good Dr. He offered sass and as unwanted opinion, but I knew he would. For this I used the Audacity software to make it and used sounds from Freesoung.org

Despite this being a game show, I leaned into the tech noir and cyber theme more than some cheerful game show vibe. With a bit of altering and addition of that rude sarcastic voice it came out well! Had to try to adjust the pace at which he was talking which was harder than I shall admit still I managed to do it. Gonna try a smooth transfer into the background music next! Using splicing and the tempo changer again should work!

Week 8 Summary

Stuck in darkness

Daily Creates

This week was a good week fresh off spring break with room to breathe! Feeling the creative juices flow and for once not completely dreading a group project. Introverted with social anxiety is not a great combination when it comes to group projects. Still my fear of failure is stronger than my fear of people. Looking forward to starting next week I imagine me and the sound library will become good friends again. This week I enjoyed looking through the characters to create my mini-introduction to my story it’s a shame I won’t get to do it, but it was fun to think of. Enjoyed making the random Canva stuff too. I like it a lot. Overall, a calm week which is what we need to get our molecules right.

Found everyone for the group now it’s time to consider how best to meet and talk everything out. As usual lots of unique daily create topics thought the graph one had me stuck since it’s been a hot minute since I had to do an info graphic, it was actuality my fsem course. Good thing I am still blasting Not Like Us.

Daily Creates

Introducing this week’s daily creates!

They seemed on the silly side this week and I loved that made them more enjoyable to think about.

Ahahah even gave me an excuse to show off my puppers. He hates cameras so I work hard to get pictures.

I want to see Tyler Tater Tots in store this instant. I was blasting not like us in the gym, so it was stuck in my head.

Always happy to see when we old have three I did not sleep yesterday after seeing a roach and was a walking corpse.

Next time that happens I am not dragging myself to work just because it’s in the evening.
