Rollercoaster in Reverse
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This assignment I did is called Play It Backward, Jack where you must take a video of something in your life and put it in reverse, so I took a video that I took of the world’s tallest rollercoaster in New Jersey called Kingda Ka when I rode it earlier this year. To put it in reverse, I used an app called Videoshop. Overall, this was a cool assignment to put this video in reverse, and it was fairly easy by using this app. Check out my video below.

For my second assignment this week, I choose to do a four star assignment for recording a play-by-play, however, I have lost a lot of interest in sports generally over time, so I decided to do a play by play of the overtime round from one of the games of Gambit I played. As far as an overarching narrative, Gambit is a race against the other team – to bank first, get your Primeval up first, and bring down your Primeval before the other team is able to. I used an old game I played in – sudden death/overtime games ...
Rocket Design in a Nutshell

For my first assignment this week, I did the five-star assignment called “How-To Tutorial”. While I don’t feel like this lends itself to a story particularly well, I feel like helping someone new to something is the right thing to do if you have the particular skills for that thing, which is why I decided to make a guide on rocket design for new players to Kerbal Space Program. My family has actually been deeply involved in NASA – my biological great-grandfather was the guy who would put engines in the rockets at Wallops Island. Unfortunately, I never got to ...
A (Backwards) Hop, Skip and a Jump

The “Play It Backward, Jack” assignment was to “Take a video of something in your life–someone running, the toilet flushing, the sink dripping, someone spitting, whatever–and reverse it!” This assignment seemed pretty simple to me, so I decided to make it a little more interesting. Instead of taking a video and reversing it one time, I took a short clip and played it backwards four times right in a row. I recorded the video when I was volunteering on Wednesday with Big Brothers Big Sisters. The video is of my Little, Nadia, skipping down the hallway. I used VSDC Free ...
Put it in Reverse

For this assignment, my task was to take a video of an action that someone or something was doing and put it in reverse, so I asked my friend Jake to dance for me. For some reason he chose the song ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ from the Lion King. I took a video of him on my phone, but I wish I had remembered to turn the phone horizontally instead of taking it vertically because I think that the quality would be better if it was horizontal. I put a title card, and a pop up for when it goes ...
Distorting and Reversing the Celebration
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this assignment I had to take a quick video clip and reverse it making it off putting and odd. I decided to take the clip of Alex Ovechkin winning the Stanley cup because for one I love that moment and two I thought the celebration would look weird if it were reversed. I used OpenShot to edit and alter the video and I think it turned out well. The video looks odd and seems like the event was almost a dream. I distorted as well trying to make it seem like what you are watching isn’t real. I hope ...
Backwards Video oediV sdrawkcaB

This again was a short little video that I just had a lot of fun with. I just recorded this with my phone and edited in iMovie again. I just used a random sound effect from iMovie and it didn’t quite match up how I wanted. I originally thought of just doing someone jumping up and down, but decided to do this instead, because it seemed harder to do, per-say, in reverse.
Playing it Backwards
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This task asks you to make a film of something and then play it backward, and it seems on this blog that I really like playing things backward. I thought I’d try this one out. So I chose a running tap because I thought that it would look really interesting. This turned out really well. It’s not the highest quality but it still shows the rewound process really well. This video was made black and white because I wanted to add to the unsettling feel of the water going backward and this made it really effective. The contrast between the light of ...
Usain Bolt losing a race!?
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For my last assignment, I chose a video to play in reverse. The funniest thing I could think of was to use a video of Usain Bolt running. He always wins races, but if he were to run in reverse he would lose. First I downloaded this video and inserted it into iMovie. Then I chose the part I wanted, about 15 seconds of the video, and deleted the rest. I went into the video settings and clicked on the “reverse” box, and I also went into the audio settings and muted the video. Then I downloaded some trumpet fanfare to play in ...
Video Creation: The Small Perks of Seeing the Future
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Superhero movies are all the rage right now, and I’ve thrown my hat in the ring with this short film about a woman who receives visions of future dangers. “The Small Perks of Seeing the Future” was created for the “Play It Backward, Jack” video assignment from the DS106 Assignment Bank. The assignment called for reversing a video of something you do/see. I wanted to add a little more storyline (and also work in my theme of “the future”), so I built my video out from that general concept of needing a common action reversed. Take a look at what I created… My ...
