The History of the iMac
For this week’s final DS106 video assignment I did, I chose to do the Product Evolution video assignment. I chose to do this assignment because I love Apple and iMac computers and it was relevant to our 1980s retro theme.
Using iMovie, I gathered a bunch of pictures of every …
Evolution of MTV
MTV was a groundbreaking change in the consumption of music. The switch from radio to television was a huge leap for music in general giving meaning to the song “Video killed the radio star” by the Buggles. The first broadcast was on August 1, 1981 and from there they never …

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 …

Changes

Evolution and Natural Selection
At my house we are currently in the middle of a move, so this means going through all the millions of boxes of your family’s stuff and deciding what stays and what goes. While rummaging through these boxes I came across my sisters old cell phone… a brick of a phone if I ever saw one and it made me think about how this thing come to be the slim things we have today. Thus we have Product Evolution, an assignment where you make a YouTube video showing the progression of technology through the ages. There where already these types of videos out there, and plenty on computers and cell phones. So … Continue reading →
