Hamsterdam: Changin’ Up The Game

Weekly Summary Another good week, and we’ve hit the mid-point of the semester!  The group radio show project was a success, and all the pieces have been hung together in a single final product for our group, “Wire Buyers”.  Here’s my work for this week: Final Radio Show: “Wire Buyers” …

Wire Buyers: The Final Cut

We did it.  Our first group project, and my first experience with making a radio show.  Never thought I’d be doing any sound editing, much less participating in producing a show for airing on radio.  How cool is that?  I have a new appreciation for how much work goes into …

Fearful Symmetry

Carl felt the tiger’s hot breath on his face and smelled its fetid breath as it snarled at him.  He kicked it as hard as he could, but the tiger’s claws tore into his flesh and shredded his clothing. His legs became tangled among his ruined clothing, and suddenly realized …

“Just Turn it Sideways…”

Season 3 Episodes 2,3 4 Notes: Scared straight vs. bored stiff, yep those kids weren’t scared at all — they’ve seen dead bodies before. “Marlo? Yeah yeah he was here.  Now he ain’t.”    Poor Bodie can’t get a straight answer out of this new young crowd that mans the corners.  …

Buyology of The Wire: Wired Buyers Promo

This is a promotional piece for our group radio show project called “Wired Buyers” where we focus on the product placement in HBO’s “The Wire”.  The show was rife with consumer products and we’re making a radio show largely made up of commercial ads, naturally given to hyperbole. I took …

Stomping the “Wired Buyers”

My Work for Radio Show Group Project Sept. 15 – I was asked by Maggie to join her and Imran on a radio show project group.  I accepted immediately because I was familiar with their work and had admired it and commented on it previously. Jessica and Lauren joined the …

Chicken in the Joint

This is my commercial spot for Kentucky Fried Chicken in our radio show project “Wire Buyers”, featuring product placement in “The Wire”.   You’ll hear Homer Simpson, Peter Griffon, Jason Alexander in addition to Wee-Bey, Avon, and D’Angelo discussing KFC’s finest virtues.  I went for funny, with segues that follow the …

Buckets Behind Bars

Here’s another bumpersticker for a commercial I’m doing for the radio show.  I’m working on a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial, and I’ll want a graphic for the SoundCloud posting when I get it done, so I decided to go ahead and do it now to get me in a chickeny …
