We have finals and then summer break. It is going to feel so weird not having projects and deadlines for a few months. I tried to watch and comment on my classmates’ final video projects and the AT conference posts. I still have a few I really want to see.
I did a quick last post. It is sad having it all be over. I know I am free to continue as I please, but it still won’t be the same. I plan to keep my blog. I put a lot of thought into the name and the layout. It is mine now. I look forward to keeping it going. I will probably move over to posting on the main site instead of the ds106 sub domain unless it is a daily create.
The final project above was fun to do. I had some ideas and some good people to work with. This exceeded my expectations of what we could do. Can I do all group projects with them forever?
Alright after the sculpture business I got to messaging my group. Ravioli Radio is not doing a second production. Those that wanted to work in a group again got most of the band back together. Just like any reunion we even grabbed a new member. We discussed some ideas on discord and came up with an idea. A news broadcast. We can all make what we like to do and what we feel we are best at. It will start with a news anchor starting the nightly news. The different segments will be made by different group members. Destiny and I want to do the final edit and put everyone’s work together. I want the broadcast to highlight the starting of the AI uprising. Everyone in the group gets to make their content with their own slant and ideas. It will have variety. We have a google doc with our outline of the show, content ideas, and what people are working on. Destiny and I want to start putting it together Thursday and the project is due Friday. I am excited to see what everyone makes. I am working with some creative people again so it should be great. It is a busy time at the end of the semester and one team member is getting over the flu. Curve balls are already being thrown. I will try to check back in with progress in a few days.
By Thursday I had found some videos to try and edit for my project and gotten some good audio from Dr. Oblivion to play with. I also had viewed the eclipse with the family, chaperoned a field trip, Wednesday was no school day. Thursday appointment at the elementary school.
Friday another thing at the elementary school. I also have had a terrible headache all day. It is a migraine headache. the double vision has been the worst. I quickly through together some of the material I have for more project so I could show I have collected some things and put it on the video project post. It is only about 8 pm but I have given up hope of salvaging my day and putting my video together. crying and going to sleep sounds more likely. My kids are fed, alive, and in bed. that is today’s win.
I found out that Ravioli Radio had some members that were having trouble with LipSync. I have used it before, so I went through and explained what I did. Don’t know if it will help more than the video that is already made. I added it to my video plan. I made Frank speak in my voice this time.
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.
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.
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 started off the week with a daily create on Monday. I think dragons make everything better. The 3 little kittens lost their mittens and then the dragons arrived.
The group I am in decided on an outline for our radio show project. I think we have potential to make a really fun show to listen to. I look forward to hearing how it all plays out.
I started the week with a daily create. I asked my children for input. It was fun we created lots of different combinations for about half an hour. It was so random and fun. I picked the combination to be used as the final submission. I posted some of their favorite images in a post.
The poster that I made for AI are people too is something Lady Alice would see in her daily life. Since she is wealthy and comes from a wealthy family, she would be part of the targeted market for this product.
And now it is Thursday. I am finishing up my week a little early with Spring Break just around the corner. I spent a lot of time looking at my classmates’ stuff this week. I enjoyed it. I took the last assignment having my character react and wrote the post as her privet thoughts. I wanted to give more insight on who she is. She is not a nice person. She knows she is better than everyone. Her privet thoughts are very revealing to that end. I did pick work from my classmates that I thought were good.
We had a choice between A or B I chose A. I chose A because I wanted to make a talking Dr Oblivion. It was something I felt would be a challenge and I wanted to do it.
After I finished the blog and added it here, I went back and read the assignments for the week. I then realized I was missing an assignment. I will do it now.
Well, I that didn’t take long since I have been thinking about how Alice would interact with Aggressive Technologies all week. I am getting faster at typing.
I look forward to having my character Lady Alice E. Smythe start on her journey of world domination.
My cold is really kicking my ass this week. I think it really made me do things differently because of it. I learned how to do things I don’t think I would have done otherwise. I will need to get prepared to make an actual talking Alice for a future video.
