The semester is over after this week. We have finals and then summer break. It is going to feel so weird not having projects and deadlines for a few months. I tried to watch and comment on my classmates’ final video projects and the AT conference posts. I still have a few I really want to see.
I used AI in Canva and asked it for a stencil of a house. IT gave me a great house. I then downloaded it and put it in Photoshop and took half the house away. I then cleaned it up by getting rid of some of the sketch line the AI had put in. I then put it in Illustrator and reverted the colors from black on white to white on black. I copied the image and put it in…
Saturday I finally had success with giving an evil brick a voice! laughing bricks are creepy…
The final project for DS 106. I came to this class scared of failure. I have not done much with computers and felt I was starting behind where most of the students in the class were. I was probably wrong. I have pushed myself to try something new every week or attempt to succeed at something I had previously failed at. In the final project I wanted to finally make my evil brick creation speak. I also wanted to try…
My children have informed me that the laughing brick is just plain creepy, and I have been looking at bricks for too long. I then went back to the drawing board and tried making a short animation of the original evil brick. I used adobe photo shop ai generative fill to give the brick some mouths. The mouths were all varying in opening size. I created 8 of these frames. I then put them in Priemer Rush and made a…
I saw another student used a website gooey AI to lip sync. I thought I book marked their post but once again I did not. internet search for the win! After much trial and error, I figured out how to get my Evil Brick to laugh. I made frames of a brick with a mouth slowly disappear and reappear. I made 8 frames in all. Then I took these and put them in Adobe Premier Rush and copied them and…
I really enjoyed the daily create for Monday. Alright after the sculpture business I got to messaging my group. Ravioli Radio is not doing a second production. Those that wanted to work in a group again got most of the band back together. Just like any reunion we even grabbed a new member. We discussed some ideas on discord and came up with an idea. A news broadcast. We can all make what we like to do and what we…
#tdc4476 #ds106 #ds106 Make a Small Sculpture Create a small sculpture with random items you have around your home or workplace. Give it a title and share your creation. I decided small is relative. I also decided to share a collaborative work. Some of you may remember that I was displaced from my home for much of 2023. We were not able to move back home until January of 2024. This piece is an ever-growing sculpture of items that have…
Busy week with the kids’ school and my schoolwork. So, I started off the weekend with a daily create. By Thursday I had found some videos to try and edit for my project and gotten some good audio from Dr. Oblivion to play with. I also had viewed the eclipse with the family, chaperoned a field trip, Wednesday was no school day. Thursday appointment at the elementary school. Thursday I also did a 3rd daily create. Friday another thing at…
I heavily edited my video plan. While I would love to make the full-length fake documentary, it is just not possible for me to do that the way I want with my current skills and time constraints. I did find an old news reel on the San Fransisco earthquake on the library of congress website that I edited. It has loads of old footage of broken brick buildings. I was able to place an Evil Brick in one frame. I…
