I have been watching vines for some time now, but I have never had the app. Some the vines can be drop dead hilarious, whilst others are far from anything clever. Making a vine is actually simple especially if you are from my generation you will be able to catch on quickly. When I saw this assignment I had to try it for myself. Why not become part of something you enjoy, right? The assignment calls to record your day through ds106. So, I decided to record my ds106 Sunday to walk you through my day from eating breakfast, to lunch, and completing some awesome ds106 assignments.

The first thing I did this morning as soon I as woke up was went to the kitchen made my coffee and started making some delicious ass french toast. Considering most of my day would consist of doing ds106 work I needed the extra calories. As I started to edit some of the video I was working on and as the day past I once again became hungry. So I made some spicy chicken with some Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, which turned into a delicious meal and continued working. Refueled and ready to go and after some major software malfunctions I am still kicking right through it. Without further adieu here is my first attempt at a vine, enjoy:

I think after doing this assignment I will be more prompted to participate in vining (if that’s a word). Six seconds is not a lot of time to be creative, but I think that is what is so challenging about Vine. Some people really push themselves to be creative in that short period and have a lot of success. Maybe me doing this assignment will prompt you to go check out the cool free app and see what other viners (don’t know if that’s a word either) are up to today!

This was a tricky assignment. With only six seconds of video, it doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for creativity. But in my opinion, I managed ok! This Vine video is a very accurate depiction of my daily life. I have spent the majority of the past few years being a student and a waitress at Home Team Grill right next to UMW. Although serving has been a great experience (most of the time!), I am excited to move on to the next stage of my life!

I found Vine very easy and accessible to use. Once I had downloaded the app, it took me through a complete tutorial on how you properly use it! It was very manageable and I had a lot of fun experimenting with different combinations of clips. It was hard to chose the shot because I could only include a few, but I knew I had to have a cup of steaming coffee in there. Coffee has become my lifeblood since taking on summer classes and remaining a part time waitress at HTG.

This Vine video assignment also sparked an idea within me. I really want to put together a video of my fellow servers imitating their most annoying customer requests and complaints. I think it would be really funny for people to see the ridiculous things some people ask. It might even shock you!
