Weeks 11 + 12: Double Combo Wombo

Two weeks in one! For the past two weeks we not only wrapped up video week, but we began preparations towards our final projects. My subject of choice was Howard “Bunny” Colvin from The Wire, and I’ll be creating a fictional narrative for him over various social media sites. At …

Week 11/12 end to a great season and a busy 2 weeks

Week 11 and 12 was a double work load of video assignments and ended season 3 of the Wire and began season 4.

Episode 11 and 12 was a great ending to season 3. The two episodes capped off the end of Avon’s organization with the murder of Stringer at …

Young Homie and Trouble

Jim Lovell once said, “Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult, someone with less ability might have your job.” It’s been a crazy two weeks for me during Week 11 and 12 but I enjoyed it! Here is what I did for these past two weeks:

The Finish Line Is Getting Closer Week 11 & 12

Well having 2 weeks to complete the assignments was nice. Even though I am finishing them at 11:30 pm on the last night I was able to take are of some other things I needed to get done.

I completed a video discussion this week which was my second one …

It’s all in the video, yo…

Another week down….

This week was all about the video.  Let’s get right down to it:

 

“Swede an Episode”- For this assignment, Ien Harris and I decided to recreate the infamous scene from season 1 where Bunk and McNulty solve a previously unsolved murder while only uttering a single …

Brittany the Videographer.

Notice how the title went from a question mark to a period? Yeah, well that’s because now I consider myself a videographer. These past two weeks have been nice. It is nice to be able to spread your assignments out over two weeks so you aren’t as stressed trying to …

Idris Got Flex a.k.a. Weeks 11-12 Summary

Season 3, episodes 11, 12 Season 4, episodes 1-4: I watched ‘em all.  For the third time.  I’m hooked on The Wire and it’s all Jim Groom’s fault. My favorite highlights centered around  the recurring theme of reinvention and adaptation (flex) of our favorite characters: The final culmination of B …

A 2 in 1 Torture

Weeks 11 and 12 Summary

The Wire got super intense these two weeks. I honestly thought that the season 3 finale set the series up to be over (even though I knew it wasn’t because I was already assigned to work on the next season). If the show had ended there though, it would have …

Final Project Week 1 Update

So for my ds106 final project (sniff, sniff) I am using Roland “Prez” Pryzbylewski, everyone’s favorite cop killer from The Wire. But seriously, I do have a weird soft spot for this character. He does awful stuff in seasons 1 and 3, but still seems to be a good guy …
