This week was how we say EHH!?!. I was not a fan. It seems to me that in reality this course is full of mashups, whether you want to call em that or not. I can think of only a hand full of times I have been asked to create my own content. I find this extremely disheartening.  Oh well, I guess, I would like to do some work though that applies to the real world. Something that requires planning and coordination, maybe even team work. Any how, my projects this week were short and sweet which is not a bad thing considering the course load I am under currently. Here are a few links to my assignment this week.

the second one was ehh, risque’ but I am not really worried. we are in college and also adults if there is a problem please contact me so I can let you know I am not concerned with your offence.

This week is mash-up week, and we are off. I would like to state for the record that the world of the internet we live in today is full of intellectual theft. As a photographer any time I give some one the right of use for any of my pictures I always give them the standard BS. “Don’t alter them, Don’t crop out my logo, If you can site me as the author.”  The mash-up is sort of a perversion of free speech. I do think that you should be able to use anyone’s work for education. I also feel the use of another’s work for criticism and press is vital to my love of liberty in this country. However, using other’s work for rebranding is unprofessional.

With that being said here we go with my first theft of intellect. for this project I use the assignment bank assignment called “this doesn’t belong here”

and here it is

So what do you get when Pope Ramzes refuses to talk?

Ever get the feeling something isn’t quite how you remember?

Well, sit back, relax, and laugh it off.

HA!  Suck it YouTube!

For 4 stars this week, I completed the This Doesn’t Belong Here assignment.  I didn’t quite know where to start, but we had to choose movies.  I originally was thinking of trying to combine The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.  I started by doing a Google image search for The Walking Dead, and came across the poster of Rick and Carl walking on the train tracks.  I immediately thought of the scene from The Aristocats when the kittens are walking along the train tracks.

For this assignment you need to mash up two different iconic movie scenes. However, you should aim to be as subtle as possible. Perhaps a famous prop that simply doesn’t belong or a character that looks a little out of place.

Once I started looking for scenes from The Aristocats, I thought it would be a great juxtaposition if I did The Aristocats and 101 Dalmatians! After finding both images online, I used Photoshop to add the puppy into the cat picture.  Since the colors of the cats were sort of grey, the white of the dog stuck out like a sore thumb.  I used the same color as Marie to try and darken the whiteness of the dog, so it looked like he blended in more. I probably could have gone for a shade or two darker on the pup, but I didn’t want to risk greying out his spots.
