Naughty or Nice?

For my last TDC of weeks 11 and 12 I chose to do the ‘Pick a Pet and Change it’ challenge. Considering the holidays are quickly approaching I decided to play off of that by altering a typical squirrel into Santa. I found a pic of a white squirrel and …

Curb Poetry

For one of two daily creates during week 12 I tried my hand at rhyming as possibly one of the most hated public service workers, parking enforcement. Yea, I said it. What every American has thought at one time or another; that stealthy, unforgiving, invisible son-of-a-motherbiscuit eater that managed to …

10 Times the Trouble

Week ten crushed me! With a daughter graduating from Great Lakes boot camp the same week, it was impossible to work ahead in completing audio even while working ahead. In part, this was because I had no idea of the amount of tutorial I would need in just navigating the …

Look, Listen, Analyze, and Ebert

For the assignment I first watched the film 300: This is Sparta without sound seen here. With what I learned from Ebert’s article I noticed that while Leonitus remained on the strong axis, the person speaking to him seemed at first more dominant. Righteously so as this character is …

Camera, Action???

Product Evolution put me just short of 10 stars for week 10 but I think the time I spent to make it half decent warrants that extra 1/2 star. Research of cameras in the motion picture industry took just as long as producing it. Cameras have an extensive history in …

We Be Gett’n Money and $hiiiii

I conquered 5 of the 7 1/2 stars left to complete in week 10 of video with the assignment ‘That Bleeping Censor’. Finally after trial and error with first grasping use of Movie Maker and then technology problems only fixable through the help of IT, I successfully completed this assignment …

Alvinized Omar Stands Off With Brotha’

For my 2 1/2 stars of the 10 required for week 10 I decided to do Chipmunk Style featuring Omar as Alvin! Through the use of Windows Movie Maker, compliments of great tutoring from James at the ITC Digital Knowledge Center, I was able to download this clip from YouTube …

Have Havens

For the second TDC of the week I chose Safe Havens as I definitely need to seek refuse in one of the three I look to when the rough gets going. Video is all the way turned up here for the last two weeks and so is my blood pressure! …

Haiku Hack

Today’s TDC required the creation of a haiku. Instead of writing it in the traditional 5/7/5 format I followed the creator’s example of 4/5/4. My current situation is “The Struggle is So Real” so I used that status as the driving motivation for my haiku which can be found here.

Stealing Z’s

This weekend was very demanding for my family which is already over scheduled being that we have three college students in our household and one pursuing a career with the US Navy! When the TDC for today called for the best sleepy shot there was no difficulty in delivering. My …
