Sunday, I did a daily create.
Since I didn’t comment much last week, I started off this week looking at a bunch of classmates’ work. I could click on summaries and see what they were up to. I am looking forward to listening to the radio shows now more then I was before.
Tuesday, I got my 2nd daily create in. Monday and Tuesday I had a sick kid home from school. I think this gave me the inspiration for the daily create.
We got quite organized in week one. I thought we had planned for different people to put the different sections together and then one person takes the sections and make it all one. I had volunteered for the final edit and put the sections together. I did not explain well enough the idea and I was left to put it all together. (I realized this before Tuesday) I do not mind really. I think my character had the least number of lines to record. She isn’t chatty like the other characters. I had a vision any way and I think the most time. The group was supper prompt about meeting the recording deadline (Tuesday) and getting everything recorded and put on Sound Cloud. They have really been a joy to work with. We just all didn’t click the enable download button. Yes, that included me. I went and fixed mine and then sent out directions in the group chat. So here is hoping that it is fixed soon. I am probably losing a day to work on this project waiting for everyone to fix the download mistake. I hadn’t finished typing and the problem was being corrected. Really a great group.
Wednesday I spent putting the majority of A, B, and C together.
Well, I intended to get back to writing out the rest of the week but didn’t. I chatted with the group some more on Discord and we divided the editing duties up. I did A, B and C and other group members did the others. On Friday Morning I put the show together and saw we were short time by about 10 mins. We needed more dialog. So Laday Alice got more insulting, and Sol found more words to say. Summers made more commercials to add to the breaks. I think we pulled it together really well. We all have different class and work schedules but managed to find time to communicate and put something really nice together. I would totally do a group project with them again. I know I had a lot of fun editing the dialog and adding the sounds of the audience. I hope people like it as much as I loved putting my parts together.

If you could have a FitBit-style device to measure something that can’t normally be measured that way, what would it be?
It would look like a hair clip to be worn as close to the scalp as possible. It would be measuring brain waves/activity looking at how much of the invisible load one is doing in running a household. The unseen stress of making everything flow. If you have children, it adds another layer. Is there a health problem in the family? The unseen important tasks would be tracked and measured. You may have felt you did nothing one day; this would show you didn’t.

Think about it there is so much to do when you run a household. Maybe there are no kids; there are pets, houseplants, bills, food etc. There are still many tasks that have to be done for the household to run. Who takes care of those? I have read articles that state women usually carry the brunt of the invisible load. Would it not be great if this could really be measured? I think we would all see that on a day we got nothing done a lot got done.

I named it going through. I played with the advanced settings and put it slightly out of focus with the glow setting. It makes me think of opening your eyes under water. Like you are swimming through something going through something. I like looking at the center of the picture I get a feeling of movement.
I started on things early this week. It had quite the list.
Saturday, I posted the promotional poster for the radio show group I made Friday. When I was making it on Friday I sent the picture to the radio show group for thoughts. I am not the creator of Dr. Ravioli, and I wanted the creator’s thoughts. Summers approved of the cat.
I had no creative thought for titles on Saturday when I did the daily create.
On Monday I did radio show stuff. There will be a post for it linked at the end of the weekly summery. I also did this daily create.
Mid-week it was brought to my attention I put the name of our radio show out of order. It is Ravioli Radio not Radio Ravioli. I edited my poster to put the name to rights.
On Friday I did a mad scramble to finish up my projects. I started the week so strong by getting work done and out of the way too.
This was the 1st Audio Assignment I finished a fictional ad.
I found a way to use my second audio assignment for the radio show. I put Lady Alice’s dialog in a different order then it will be used.
Well that concludes week 9.
I found an audio assignment 1665 Have a Phone Conversation with Yourself. I decided to use this for Lady Alice’s part of the radio show. You get a sneak peek at the show and are left hanging on what is fully going on.
Have fun guessing what is being said on the other side of the phone.
Well, that was an interesting phone call.
I made a Google doc on Monday with an outline for the show. It is a good jumping off point for the group to discuss and make changes. I also used the outline provided on weeks 9 and 10 post to make a list on the Google doc of everything out show needs to contain. At least 2 of the group members work during the day so I had to prepare to wait all day for it to be seen. Luckily, I didn’t. My group is super on the ball of getting everything done. Summers, Destiny, Sol, and Greta are the other members. They all make some pretty good stuff. Summers is the creator of Dr. Ravioli and we all voted to name the radio show Ravioli Radio.
Summers put together a different Google doc and organized all of us to do a zoom call on Thursday. It went really well and lasted about an hour. We used my outline as a jumping off point to build a script and decide how it should flow. We went with breaking the show into 3rds with bumpers and commercials between the parts. We decided to have all the characters in the same room so to speak so we will have to upload our dialog in pieces to be used by each other. The 1st and 2nd parts will have the Dr. asking the other characters questions. The 3rd part of the program will have Dr. Ravioli answering questions from the fake studio audience. Everyone is taking a different section to piece together. I have volunteered to take the 3 sections and make it one.
I have made a commercial so far for the show. I still need to record all of Lady Alice’s lines for the show. I could do that for the other audio assignment I need for the week. A one-sided phone call, guess what is going on, on the other side?
I feel very fortunate to be working with such talented people. We all have our assignments and a deadline. Everyone has been really great about communicating with the group on discord. We all have such varying schedules so meeting in person so far hasn’t worked.
I made a commercial for Everlast Pets. I had previously made a PSA for the fake product, and I had wanted to make just an ad for it. I used Narakeet.com for the voices and Freesound.org for the music and other sounds used.
Overall, I like how my commercial turned out. The picture is of my lab and a few weeks old kitten. They are still the best of friends.

I have really lost all creative thought for titles this week.

Bead Art: Turn your photo into super-cool bead art. (bighugelabs.com)
I used the above linked website to create a beaded image. I after you upload the image you want changed you have the option to choose a background color besides black. I chose a pink. I think it really softened the evil brick and made him kind of cute. You should recognize the picture used from an earlier daily create.
