Soundboard Conversation

Create a conversation between yourself and your favorite movie character using an online soundboard!  To find soundboard clips, check out http://www.soundboard.com/.  

Character Description

Create a short about a minute thirty to two minute video describing a character. Use about 3-5 short clips that describe the characters personality, that portrays what they will be like in the story. Basically you are just taking a closer look at a character before you begin the story so the audience can get to know the characters better. 

Make this fun, and interesting, create a story in your blog with this character. 

I would recommend using iMovie, because you can do all the editing you need to do within the program, making the overall assignment easier. 

Remix Guinness Book of World Records

Remix a Guinness Book of World records web page. Pick any record you want and somehow remix it. Try and connect it to a story, and add some background inspiration into your idea for inspiration. Maybe it was the record you always wanted to set, or break. Or maybe it fits perfectly into a story you are creating. How ever it fits be creativ and have fun with it.

I would recommend using X-Ray Goggles, to rewor the webpage, it is very simple and allows you to do a lot, and then publish the page. 

5 second ending

Close out a story in just 5 seconds. The onject of this project is to end a story in a five second animated GIF. Tell a story in your blog, and instead of having an ending paragraph or closing sentence use a five second GIF. Be creative, and integrate the GIF within your story. 

Line remix

Take a famous line from a movie and remix it. to create an entirely new story from just this one line. Get creative, but make sure to have a good balance between what you add and keep to make sure that the line is still regonizable, but tells the story completly differently.

Exercise and Socialize

Neighborhood walks used to be a good form of exercise and a good way to meet your neighbors. Nowadays, exercise is at the gym and socializing is online. Record a video of yourself taking a neighborhood walk and play a song in the backgorund of the video that your neighbors would enjoy. Get out there, exercise and socialize!

Saving junk to save the Earth

Going green and saving the world is becoming trendy, but saving global resources should be permanent and go beyond a fad. Here is where you come in! Record a video of yourself doing something Earth friendly. Example: Creatively re-use supplies, find something usefull for objects that would otherwise be junk

Laptop Lingo

I know some of us (myself included) are a bit particular about the looks/cleanliness of our technology. But if that didn’t matter, and you had all of the resources at your fingertips, without any fear of it hurting your technology, what would you make as your laptop cover?
