Inspired 2: Wafflestomper

For my second inspire post this week I chose Wafflestomper’s (great name) post on the Downton Abbey/Wire mashup- Downton Shabby. It was totally hilarious and as I watch both shows, I understood it. The juxtaposition of high class British society with the Wire’s broken down Baltimore was too perfect. This …

Chipmunk Wire

I had fun with this chipmunk style assignment. I chose a scene from episode 8 where the techie guy is joking around with his computer abilities. I thought it was one of the lighter moments in the season so I downloaded the video, cut it down to the scene …

Reading the Wire

I really like the idea of making a film or show stop action in order to look more closely at certain aspects. Bringing up Hitchcock is the best example ever for this because there is so much in Hitchcock’s works. He makes a story with only black and white that …

Life’s goals

I made this video for the “Where do you want to go” assignment. I loved doing this assignment because all I want to do is travel. I have been so lucky in my life to have gone to many different places: Italy, Spain, England, Wales, etc. etc. My …

Musicless music video

For my second assignment I did the musicless music video assignment. I don’t watch music videos often, so I told my friend he could choose for me. This is the result of a very dramatic music video by Lindsay Lohan and my cruel humor combined. I tried to make it …

You’re a vision

Film week was pretty cool, but was a lot of work. I started off the week looking at Ken Burns’ video on inspiration and video storytelling. I really liked this video and posted about how his words translated to me as a journalist, and other aspects of storytelling. Then I …

Dinner Vine

This is my healthy vine challenge where I took two second videos of chicken, salad and guacamole. I chose this assignment because I had already planned a nice dinner because my mother and sister were visiting me at school. I was excited to make dinner for them and had to …

Inspiration 1

I was really inspired to do today’s daily create after reading Maggie’s great writing piece on it. She always has such great work and this is my second time nominating her to the Inspire page. Great job as always Maggie!…

M-asterpiece

I love when voices are heard before anything plays and I have to say, this was definitely a scary first few seconds. The one girl in the middle turning and pointing her finger at each child in turn while saying in a mechanical voice that someone will chop them up …

Inspiration from Ken Burns

I was looking at the Reading Movies unit and the fact that 100 hours of YouTube videos are added every minute was crazy to me. The Ken Burns video started on an interesting note, with him talking about 1 and 1 equaling three. His idea about the sum of the …
