Assignment #4
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For my last assignment I chose to do the assignment called The History of a Word and it is worth four and a half stars. This required you to tell the history of a favorite word. I found that this assignment was very intriguing. I chose the word serendipity because I felt like the word was just fun to say. The word rolls off the tongue in a unique and interesting way. I kind of knew what serendipity meant but after learning the real definition I decided I think the word even more. I figured the word would have come from latin ...

This week, I made the choice to do 8 stars of assignments. The first video assignment I chose was Vernacular Video– The History of a Word. It says to choose a favorite word and write about its history, but I thought this would be a good opportunity to tell the history of the name of my character, which I actually put a little more thought into than may have been expected. So, this assignment is the *4 stars* I’m relating to Edie. And because it has to include another character, I thought I would add similar information on July Laszakovit’s Isabelle ...
Foley Sounds – Charlie Chaplin (1:30 – 2:00)
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
When I first started off on this assignment, I was a bit nervous on how I would create sounds and properly match them with the film scene. However, I found it not to be that bad. After watching the video a few times, I identified 7 instances that could use sound. In order they were a struggle with a dog, a shhh sound, a lady falling over, splashing water, a lion yawn, a dropped bucket, and trying to open a hatch. I was able to record all three in my room using the Smart Voice Recorder app on my ...
The word sped, what does it mean?

So the word sped. So of you might think its a past tense for the word speed and you are right, but to me it has a different meaning. Check out this video of me explaining what sped really means. So what do you guys think? To make this is used Imovie software for a mac, but there was more set up then that. Imovie was useful in string clips together and editing down all of my clips. The background I had was a white canvas paper proper against a box. I had some trouble trying to set up the ...
Chaplin Foley Remix!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This week, we were tasked with remixing some of the previous work of ourselves and other students from the Chaplin Foley assignment from weeks 6-7 and using them to remake the Charlie Chaplin clip for the Charlie Chaplin Foley Artist assignment. I chose to remake the clip using a mix of sounds from my classmates, trying to keep them all mostly based upon sound effects and not including any spoken words, hoping to make the clip a comedic adventure. To make the clip, I downloaded the sounds that I wanted to use from SoundCloud, the music from Incompetech and used KeepVid to download the film clip. ...
Chaplin Reimagined

This was the biggest pain in the ass to date. We had to do this remaking of this Charlie Chaplin scene here. Then we had to go back and reuse the sound we made for it in the beginning by removing the original sound and clipping it to the video. This was annoyiing because none of the sound matched up and some was louder and others were quieter and others had people laughing in the background the whole time they were recording the stupid clips. Then we had to remake the story into something new. The annoying part was that ...
I Don’t Know Why You Say Good Bye, I Say God Be With Ye
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Get the Beatles reference? If you don’t, promptly YouTube search the song “Hello, Goodbye” by the Beatles before continuing to read. There really is no excuse. Anyways, I first heard about the origins of the word goodbye from a Spanish professor explaining why people say “adios” in Spanish. He explained that it wasn’t uncommon in many other languages to reference a deity when wishing a person good fortune in their travels from you. In English, it is said that the word goodbye is a sort of mashup of the words “God be with ye.” So when I read the assignment ...
