I needed to make a video of my character speaking with Dr Oblivion and connect it all to Aggressive Technologies. I instantly knew I wanted to make Alice into an investor. But she is not a person to be satisfied with just being a part of a company she wants to be the boss. While Lady Alice knows she is smarter than everyone she also knows she needs to research before doing something new. This is how I approached this topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started by going to visit the good <a href=\"https:\/\/oblivion.university\/\">Doctor<\/a>. I asked him questions multiple times to hear his different answers. I downloaded the answers. I asked him leading questions to get him to mention certain things in his answer. I then wrote a script for Lady Alice Smythe. I used Audible to edit and piece together the many answers I had from Dr. Oblivion. Here is one I ended up not using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"http:\/\/ds106.hurkledurkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nobody.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"http:\/\/ds106.hurkledurkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bodyyes.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same question with 2 different answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I then went through the process of taking my mp3 and pairing it with the face. It was easier than I thought it would be after I figured out what to do. There was just a little trouble on getting started on my part. I skipped a step and didn&#8217;t realize it at first and was so lost. After a few minutes of feeling confused I found my user error and was rewarded with success! I was so over the top pleased with myself on being able to do this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I then turned my attention to Lady Alice E. Smythe. I have a cold, so my clogged nasal voice was not an option this week. So, I turned to text to speech programs on the internet. I listened to many. I found <a href=\"https:\/\/freetools.textmagic.com\/text-to-speech\">Textmagic<\/a> and liked the easiness and rang of voices I had to pick from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the voice done now I just needed to give her a face. I didn&#8217;t like what I could find online. To be honest I didn&#8217;t look too long. I contacted a friend I hadn&#8217;t seen in a while and asked If I could use their face. I am happy to say she said yes. I took some photos of her off of Facebook and used Adobe Photoshop to get rid of people and change the setting. I then used these photos to tell a story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would like to do more with the photos and get a video of my friend to play with in the future. I will have to see what she thinks of this first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dr Oblivion and Alice meet\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KDgfwhMwVqI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may notice a lack of subtitles or not depending on when you view this I may have already gone back and added them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I didn&#8217;t have Alice actually appear to be speaking her part I like that I had different pictures to use to tell a bit of what is going on. I think I made it more interesting than just the same stiff heads going back and forth to look at. I also Like how I have introduced Aggressive Technologies to Alice&#8217;s story and what her interaction with the company will look like. Lady Alice has money and believes she is always the best person for the job.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I chose the option of one big assignment.
