????? For my last assignment, I decided to change the events of a whole movie with one little change of dialogue. I watched the first of the Star Trek reboots earlier this week, so I decided to mess with that movie. Specifically, the scene where Captain Pike dares Jim Kirk to do better than his father and enlist in Starfleet: I figured there was a pretty good chance this alternate version of Kirk would totally ignore Pike’s dare, and just continue on with his life. Just like that, the entire course of history is changed. Oh, and say hello to Captain ...
Dead Ripley

I’m a huge film enthusiast, so I loved the assignment idea of messing with central plot points of movies. What if major events had never happened? How would this impact the rest of the movie? I find such questions inherently fascinating, so I had to try my hand at these alterations. As such, I began combing through my favorite movies, eventually settling on examining Aliens. I’ve always loved this film. In fact, it is one of the only movies where I truly think the sequel surpassed the original. But what if Ripley had never been rescued? What if she was ...
Less Trouble When You Do Not Eat Alone (Messing with the MacGuffin)

Playing more with the #ds106zone for the Twilight Zone episode of the Invaders. All of the screaming, banging, and destruction might is averted if Alien Lady checks her iPhone. Instead of getting zapped by laser guns and whopping spaceships with her axe, instead, Alien Lady and Jim Groom laugh at old stories over the best tacos in Virginia, perhaps the entire east coast. Messing with the Macguffin may be one of my all time favorite ds106 assignments, because technically it is pretty simple (superimpose some text on a screen capture of a movie scene): Wikipedia defines the MacGuffin as “a ...
Rewriting Film

The purpose of this assignment was to pick a pivotal point in a film and rewrite the dialogue of that moment so that it changes the outcome of the movie. After browsing through a bunch of webpages, I found one that lists 40 iconic screenshots from 40 famous movies. After that, I chose my favorite movie of the bunch, which was Into The Wild. As most people know, the film concludes with the main character starving to death in the Alaskan wilderness. At no point throughout the film was there any notion that he wanted to return home, which led me ...
Jack, You’ve been Working Too Hard

One of my first two contributions to the #ds106radio community (likely back around February, 2011, uploaded to the dropbox) was this little audio story clip from Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman, starring Micheal Keaton in the title role, and Jack Nicholson as The Joker. Also highlighted in the film was Jack Palance, playing the part of crime boss, Carl Grissom. In the audio clip, Grissom asks his henchman Jack Napier (Nicholson’s character, before he becomes the Joker) to handle a job down at a chemical plant. But what if Grissom had valued Jack differently? “Jack and Jack (Batman1989)” by aforgrave, on ...
2 Stars- MacGuffin-ing it up

This was for the “Messing with MacGuffin assignment that said to change an important moment in a movie. I can think of no more crucial moment in a movie than the choice Neo, I’m sorry, Mr. Anderson makes in the Matrix. What would happen if Mr. Anderson didn’t go down the rabbit hole? I pulled a picture from the movie by taking the picture from google images. It was really simple from there, just putting in the text layer in GIMP and picking the font (Arial, because it’s a typical font that captions are done in). Sorry it wasn’t more ...

Messing With The MacGuffin

In the assignment Messing With The MacGuffin, I took images from both movies, Spider-man and The Mask and opened them both up with the program paint. I extended the window frame of the picture and filled the rest in with black. I then selected the text tool and used the font Tahoma. Then I inserted a clever line.

Yes, a busy little Gerg am I. I’ve got some more Daily Creates and some more Design Assignments, just like I promised. I’m a man of my word. You’re anxious, I can tell. So let’s get started. Daily Create 30 – The Place of Losing I should have posted this one a while ago, but, to be perfectly honest, I forgot I even took this picture. The assignment was to take a picture of a place you lose things in your house. Lots of books. Comic boxes. Sword rack. Stitch, wearing a leopard-print santa hat. Zim’s house. Boondock Saints flask. ...
Chicken Farming

Inspired by Ben’s Video Game Remix show, I found a Zelda Replay Value/MacGuffin visual assignment. (Ben says it’s totally worth double points) What if Link never made it to the end of the game because he became so enamored of the chickens? I know I like those crazy chickens. Played with Fireworks for this one. Found the image somewhere online and added a Zelda font with a little glow.
