Week 10 Fearless Femmes Summary

I completed 2 Daily Creates this week! Both were personal, and about my passions and what I love. Reading books in a cozy area is my safe haven. My other DC was about having #NoLimits; Reaching new heights and pushing boundaries! I believe that breaking barriers and making new achievements is my fuel to keep going.

Here is the Fearless Femmes Radio Show Progress REPORT! I absolutely loved working with this group of ladies. They are all just fabulous! Our Fearless Femmes radio show went amazing. I have never completed an assignment like this before so it was all fairly new to me and overall such a great experience. This report gives a layout of how we prepared for the radio show this week leading up to the recording day, also how we overcame challenges together, I talk about Martina’s fantastic editing skills, and lastly, how proud we were to turn in our work. I believe that all of us were very happy with the outcome and enjoyed listening to all the final creation. I’m excited to get feedback on this and hopefully get our other classmates to listen to it.

I wanted to post a link with the podcast, for those who wanted to listen to other classmates now. But I didn’t see any instructions for that so I’ll wait just in case Week 11 is when we are supposed to share it! 🙂

I hope I get the chance to check out the other groups radio shows as well!

Daily Create Shenanigans – Week 10

This week I completed 2 Daily Creates. 🙂

DC #1: I LOVE…

For this DC I posted a picture of a stack of books because I love reading books! Not only do I love reading books, but I also love reading them in a cozy comfortable environment. Where the sun is shining through, creating natural light, it’s quiet, and the seat is comfy!

DC #2: Dreams Know No Boundaries

For this DC, I got a little personal and shared a photo that said, “Dreams Know No Boundaries.” I also shared a little bit about my own goals and how I plan to keep following my dreams. With the ending hashtag of: #NoLimits

Fearless Femmes Radio Show Progress REPORTT

Okay, this group was hands down one of the best groups of people I have ever worked with! I would actually consider doing a real podcast with them in real life if we all could, no joke!

The fearless femmes made progress all week long! Monday/Tuesday we finalized our scripts and decided what types of bumpers, commercials, and everything like that we wanted to include. On Wednesday we recorded our first recording at the DKC recording studio, it was kind of an epic fail. Although, it was an outstanding first recording but then, the file got corrupted and decided to die on us. So, on Thursday we gave it another go, and our second recording was even better, of course! Thursday night, Martina/Lady Bird 😉 was so wonderful to complete the editing for us. She said she had a really nice program to use, and her editing skill set is far more advanced than any of the rest of ours (I think). Martina did an outstanding job on editing, and we are all so appreciative of her hard work and help with this entire project!! Today is Friday, and we are proudly turning it in.

I absolutely loved getting to work with this group of ladies. They are incredibly smart, talented, and have wonderful personalities. 10/10 in every category for this project.

For those who get to listen to it, I hope you enjoy it.

Sapphria Mae, OUT!

This Week Working With The Radio Show Fearless Femme Beauties:

This week was a blast! Up in the banner above is of me and all of my archetype radio show members. This was also my work for my Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show Design Project Assignment. I decided to make a banner that includes all group members so this can represent us as a whole and also individually because each character is rightfully different and should be appreciated in their own way. Also – Just to note, some of these pictures are from the actual pages of these characters but some are not. I picked out some of the pictures myself because I wanted everyone to have their own picture to represent them and put a face to the name. Just in case you try to go to their pages, and you don’t see these pictures there. Now you know.

The first audio assignment I completed was to Create a Radio Bumper. I did this for the DS106 radio show and wanted to try to create another one this radio show. This bumper is intended to be used during a section of the radio show that reminds people who the Fearless Femmes are, what we do, why, and how they can be a part of it. I also tried to make it a bit more personal between one character and the audience, sometimes it may seem more personal talking to the audience like that than the whole group saying something. My work is posted here: Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show Radio Bumper

The second audio assignment I completed was the Radio Show Intermission Assignment. I chose this audio assignment to help build our story line and to add some spice to the radio show. I gave more exposure on each characters name and exposed “secrets” or “tea” to keep listeners engaged. My work is posted below: Cyber 75 The vibe (Featuring the Fearless Femmes) Radio Show Intermission

Overall Progress That Was Made This Week:

Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show In-Progress (Featuring the Fearless Femmes)

We had our first meeting this past Monday, and since then we have accomplished a ton. In my post, I’ve put bullet points on most of the things we’ve done, clearly set out what we want to accomplish, and what plans we have in the future (next week). So far, we have really stuck to the plan and the plan has been executed beautifully by everyone. Overall, I’m very happy with the progress we’ve made.

Last But Not Least; Some Daily Creation Fun!

Daily Create Shenanigans – Week 9 is where I posted my daily creates.

I posted about what confusion looks like to me, how I celebrated St. Paddy’s Day, and had the chance to talk about the little cute fishies I found on Etsy!

Great topics this week 🙂

I really enjoyed working with my group this week and can’t wait for us to put all of hard work together next week when we create the final product.

Cyber 75 The vibe (Featuring the Fearless Femmes) Radio Show Intermission

Radio Show Intermission was the second Assignment that I chose from the assignment bank.

I created this intermission for the Fearless Femmes Segment on Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show. It was a little off script and last minute than what we had originally planned for but it is still on track with our story line and it’s almost 2 minutes long so if we need a nice filler or a piece to help build our story line, I figured this would be perfect and a nice option to have if we need it.

It’s only Sapphria Mae who is talking and it’s mainly about her spilling the beans for her own personal gain, while also intending to try to keep listeners engaged with “secrets” or “tea”. Sapphria also talks about the other characters by their names, giving more exposure to who is who, and also to get listeners excited for the next part/or half of our segments. Also – She is a femme fatale, so this is perfect for her archetype traits.

I created this recording on my iPhone and then uploaded it to Audacity. I looked up the sound effects and the background music all on FreeSounds.org. I started the track with “elevator music” and a DJ scratch to let listeners know that this is a “break” from the show. Then I just played around with the track for a little bit until I was satisfied. One thing I made sure to do was to turn the background music at a much lower level than my audio recording sound so the whole thing wasn’t overwhelming or hard to hear me.

Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show Design Project (Featuring The Fearless Femmes)

This is the radio show banner that I created for The Fearless Femmes Group that are the main hosts of the Cyber 75 Radio Show.

They will have a segment that will play every Wednesday Evening @ 6:15pm ET. This segment will be a talk show where people can call in and talk to all the Femmes about their life, share stories, or to mainly ask them for advice on futuristic Technoir types of problems.

I created this banner on Canva. There are some pictures that I used that the other girls have already posted on their pages about their characters; But if I wasn’t able to find one, I found a picture for them and inserted it into the banner. I figured this would give the group a better representation as a whole and still add some individuality into it as well since all of our characters are rightfully different. I wanted to show each one of them off! My intentions here were to create an elegant image for the group and put a face to each character.

I also chose this color for the background because it has gone with the theme of Sapphria Mae’s green vibes, and because it had an elevated cyber punk look to it (in my opinion) with the added glow in each corner but also has a more matte and gracious color in the middle giving it a balanced look as well.

I REALLY enjoyed making this one; I loved getting to include all of my group’s characters!!

Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show Radio Bumper

Create a ds106 radio bumper was one of the audio assignments that I chose. I had a lot of fun creating the DS106 radio bumper and wanted to take another shot at it for this radio show project.

For this bumper, I kept it simple and used only two soundtracks that I found on FreeSounds.org. I used these two soundtracks as background music behind my own scripted audio recording.

I created a script for myself that I recorded for my Fearless Femmes group radio show. I used an intro line like “Alright, listen up. This is Sapphria Mae with the Fearless Femmes.” to be very direct and edgy to fit the fatale aspect of my archetype. But then I also used lines like “Hard times? They come and go, but you? You’re built for this.” to also mask the sassy and evil parts of my character. This is to fit the other aspect of my character archetype to be gracious, likeable, and try to gain some trust with our listeners.

This bumper is intended to be used during a section of the radio show that reminds people who the Fearless Femmes are, what we do, why, and how they can be a part of it. I also tried to make it a bit more personal between one character and the audience, sometimes it may seem more personal talking to the audience like that than the whole group saying something.

I posted the link/bumper below. Hope you guys like it.

Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show In-Progress (Featuring the Fearless Femmes)

On Monday my group and I had our first Zoom meeting, and it went fabulous!! I really could not have asked for a better team to work with. We accomplished a lot within that time, here are some bullet points of our progress:

  • We firmly decided on our group name: Fearless Femmes
  • Came up with a radio show name: Cyber 75 The Vibe
  • Discussed each other’s characters and their archetypes. After doing this we started to plot on ideas for the show’s story line and really narrow our focus.
  • We came up with an AWESOME story line and topics for our show. I will not tell you and spoil it for you now so you will just have to wait and see.
  • Then we came up with timelines/deadlines that our group agreed on; This is for us to have our scripts ready by this week, we will record next week, and we came up with who will do what for our show.
  • This week I focused on creating a radio bumper and other assignments that will be beneficial to include in our radio show! I’ll be posting these later tonight or tomorrow!

I’m excited to work with this group of people and I can’t wait to hear the finished product of all of our hard work put together!

Daily Create Shenanigans – Week 9

What does confusion look like? DC #1

For this Daily Create I posted a picture that I found online of “Confusion”. I felt it was the perfect image that explained what confusion feels like for me. My mind is everywhere, I may be having anxiety, and things like that. So that is why I chose to post that image.

St. Patrick’s Day DC #2

I posted a picture of a Guiness beer on the bar at J Brian’s. That is where I enjoyed some of my St. Patrick’s Day. My last name is Burke, and Burke is actually a town in Ireland. It is a dream of mine to go visit there one day! When the Irish want to enjoy a beer, drink because of a bad day or just because – they normally say something like “Ahh I’m just taking the edge off” 😉

Cheers!

Let’s Make A Fish DC #3

#tdc4811 #ds106 For this Daily Create I immediately thought of these little fishie figures that I found on Etsy. Most of the figures are of fish that you would find out of Finding Nemo. I thought they were the cutest so that is why I posted them here.
