Week 10 A Big Fat Hen

I don’t know why I titled it that, but I guess it makes sense given the big group project we had to do. Anyway, this week we had to do our big radio project and I think we did really well. Our characters got to express their views and some of them even learned a thing or two about themselves.

So, for the show progress report you can go check out my post. Again, I think we did really well. It was a fun twist to have some of the characters us AI voices and some use their real voices. It really played well into the theme of the class.

I managed to do 2 daily creates even though I almost forgot to do the second one. Per usual they were a nice quick dose to stretch those muscles or be a little funny. Here is my post.

Lastly is the completed radio show. It speaks for itself if you want to go listen. It was really fun to do, even navigating around a busy schedule I think we made it happen. Listen below.

Again, this as a fun week and i liked the creative freedom we got with this project.

Week 10 Wrapped

To kick off this post with a bang, tune in and listen to POP Perception!

I hope you guys enjoyed that beginning as much as my group and I are quite proud of it.

This week was pretty much easier once the radio show was out of the way and done. We had two daily creates and our radio show progress. Additionally, there was the usual commenting. So exciting to read and listen to what everyone has been creating the past two weeks!

During this week, I used a variety of tools. Canva for my daily create, and then Audacity, Pixabay, AI Text-To-Speech, and a specific JARVIS voice for the radio show. Learned a lot through trial and error, but planning and being organized helped me get through this week!

Week 2 Radio Show Progress

This week was much more successful in making progress than my last week! I started off the week finally in communication with my group members who were all so kind! We figured out what movies we were each going to pick and established a team deadline to have our sections done by.

Three out of the four of us were going to each talk about one of the Spider-mans. I had picked Tobey McGuire, not realizing what I was getting myself into. I quickly realized that the movie Tobey was in was made in 2002 and did not have any AI aspects. He was also featured in No Way Home, but again no AI was associated with Tobey, his web was even made from within his body. I realized I needed to change my topic immediately! Our group was centered around Marvel, which besides Spider-man, I don’t watch other Marvel movies, so I was unfamiliar of the rest. However, I did know that Iron Man was the mentor to Spider-man. Therefore, I quickly switched gears and went towards Tony Stark and his companion JARVIS, who is all AI. Luckily, this made it so much easier to work with.

First I got started on getting a bit more knowledge on JARVIS and Iron Man. I took some notes and then started writing down my script. I chose to write it down so when I would speak, it would be organized and smooth. Once my script was done, I opened up Audacity and got to work! I added my intermission at the end and various other sound effects throughout my section. Additionally, Chuckles also was given an AI voice. To start off my script, I had a JARVIS like AI voice read in a good morning message that JARVIS left for Tony Stark in the movie. Then I went on to have Chuckles make a quick joke since that’s his thing. I then proceeded with the actual discussion afterwards. Here is my completed section:

My intermission was fully used in the final radio show, and along with that, parts of my intermission sound was played when transitioning to each of my team member’s sections! Luckily, with starting off a bit behind, I had my section in on time and we were all able to complete it into one amazing piece of work!

Household Chores and The Codfather

Week 10 Daily Creates

For my first one of this week, I had to change a letter in the title of a book or movie. I chose The Godfather and turned it into The Codfather. Now, it is a family-run seafood empire! Here is how I would redesign it:

The next daily create I did was to combine a game you like with a chore to make it somewhat more enjoyable.

The game I chose is Ludo. Ludo is a traditional game played in South Asian countries. Growing up in Pakistan, I always played this game and still do when I visit my cousins back home. It can get very competitive and loud, and lots of accusations of cheating. It is similar to the board game “Trouble”.

Now my least favorite chose is washing dishes. In many ethnic households, using the dishwasher to wash the dishes is very uncommon. We hand wash them individually and it actually satisfies us that they truly got cleaned! The reason I hate washing them is the dish soap dries out my hands completely and the scent stays on as well for a little while. Now you could wear gloves, but my issue with that is if your nails are even slightly too long, they will rip and the water will find its way in. Which to me is even more gross.

So I combined Ludo with this chore. Since Ludo is a game played by more than one player, we would be playing to see how many dishes each player would have to wash. In Ludo, you roll a six and are lucky, but in this you roll a six and wash six dishes! Similarly, you would still get to move six spots ahead. Therefore the basics of the game are the same but the number you roll also means the amount of dishes you must clean.

Daily Create – 3/29/2024

Today’s daily create had us pick our least favorite household chore and then associate a game to it that might help up be more productive while completing the chore. My least favorite household chore would probably have to be cleaning my room. In order to finish this chore, I think I would associate it with a game that revolves around trying to clean my room at the fastest rate possible and timing myself. i think by doing this it would help me move faster because I am against the clock and it would really help me work efficiently while also getting the main task at hand done. It would definitely help me to associate it with something like that.

Week 10 Summary

Sunday, I did a daily create.

Seeing Spots

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.

Radio’s Complete!! – Week 10 Summary – 3/22-3/29

What a week! I’m so happy for how far we’ve all come!

This wasn’t a super heavy week, post-wise, at least, but here’s a brief summary of my week.

Oh, wait, here’s my song of the week, too!

It should be criminal how short this song is……

Daily Creates

Week 10 Daily Creates

These were fun and easy peasy! I love the ones where I get to open art programs and put stuff together and fiddle with things. It’s so fun to me, really revives the creative kid inside that was brutally murdered to focus on school. They’re back!!

Radio Update 2

Almost Done – Radio Update 2

Making these updates is always so fun to me, so this was nice to make. It makes me realize how far we’ve come and just how the process has been. It’s very comforting, actually!! It also makes me know how much work we put into it, so that we should be proud of it, and I am proud of the radio and of my group 🙂

The radio itself! Done!! Complete!!!!

I love this so much, I actually don’t remember the last time I had so much fun in a group project. Group projects are supposed to be miserable, that’s how they always have been, but this was FUN?? I think I was blessed with the most fun and creative group members, and I really could not have done it all without them!

Communication was amazing. Everyone contributed, everyone worked hard, and I just feel very warm to have done all of this with them. So, huge thank you to my group for creating this with me. I’m very happy to have done all of this with you guys!! We created something great!!

I talked about the process before in the post and the process post, so I’ll save you that story again. Just know that I’m very happy with our hard work.

I have no idea what we’ll be up to next week, after doing all of this, so I am kind of nervous! But I guess I’ll see where this all goes.

Ravioli Radio

She is complete!!! We did it!!!

Thank you so much to my group for all of this. We all did amazing, and I’m very happy with our final project. So thank you to Summers, Greta, Marisol, and Sarah for working with me on this 🙂

We put this together using Audacity (editing), Freesound (sound effects), Elevenlabs (voices), and some other programs!!

I’m providing a blurb of all of the sound effects that we put into the show. I can’t find the ones everyone put in their own commericals and bumpers, but this is what was likely used in the entire interview portion:

Overall, this was really fun, and I’m so happy to have done it, but I’m also so happy to be finished with it.

Thank you for listening 🙂
