Hindsight is Always 20/20

Hindsight is Always 20/20

So for our very final assignment, we were asked to give advice for future students. Professor Bond does send out an e-mail before the semester starts warning about the amount of work and time required for the course. Definitely take that e-mail to heart, he’s serious! The work itself is not that hard and its actually fun to do, its just very time consuming. If you have a heavy schedule or work a…

The End

It all started one dark and stormy night. http://krazydoglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/360328__inspectorj__thunder-very-close-rain-a.wav I was at home, minding my own business and enjoying a well-earned vacation when I go the call I had been waiting for. http://krazydoglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/344365__jourblue__cellphone-ringing.wav It was the boss. “It’s go time” he said. “You…

Final Mission Update

Well the time has come. We all know Canada and Russia have been conspiring against us all along. President Trump was planted specifically for this purpose. He can try to deny his Russian contacts all he wants but we know the truth. It all goes down next week. The Washington Capitals are in Toronto for the Stanley Cup playoffs and thats where Agent A will make her move. She’ll start off by making…

Tweet Tweet!

This week all of the agents had to create Twitter polls based on the other agents characters and then participate in the polls created by others. Even though the class uses Twitter a lot, I’m still very new to it and don’t really know how it works so this was kind’ve hard for me. Luckily the polls themselves are pretty easy to create. Having the creativity to make a good one is another story. I…

The Week in Review

I started off by brainstorming ideas for a mission that the class could participate in. I wasn’t able to think of much but you can find my idea here. Next, 12 stars worth of video assignments. At least 6 of these stars had to involve my character for class: Moving Object assignment-3.5 stars- She’s on the Move Sixteen Year Old Me assignment- 4.5 stars – Dear Me My Favorite Thing to Do assignment-…

Dear Me.... For this assignment, I had to create a video of me speaking to my 16 year old self.

She's on the Move! For this assignment, we had to create a Vine of an object moving. Since Vine no longer exists, I took the creative liberty of using SnapChat instead.

What's Free Time? For this assignment, I had to video myself (or Agent A in this case) doing something they like to do in my downtime.

Super secret spy mission

Super secret spy mission

So this week, we were tasked with thinking of a mission for the class. My idea is similar to a scavenger hunt. A mutual super villain is created and the class has a goal of figuring out who it is. We break up into groups to “investigate” and find clues that are strategically placed. Usually I would suggest these be placed on campus or through downtown Fredericksburg but not everyone lives here.…

Week 10 Summary

This week was all about movies and videos. As an introduction, we had to our own video essay on scene from a spy movie using the techniques we learned about: and my blog about the process. Next we could either get into groups and create a video like what we did with the radio show OR we could do video assignments for stars over the…

That's Not Cheese! So I watched the videos and I read the essay. I learned what to look for in a scene and how it effects the outcome and the viewers opinion of it.

This is My Life.... The goal of this assignment was to take a short video of something I did on a daily basis.

[kmh2683-blog]

What Did I Do Today? For this assignment, I had to create a 6 second video of something I did today. The assignment says to use the "Vine" app but since Vine no longer exists, I used Snapchat instead!

Animation Sensation

So this was actually way harder than I thought it would be. The assignment was to create a 6 second video of some sort of art. 6 seconds doesn’t sound so hard right? Not so much. I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination and really have no idea how to create it. Then I started thinking about it from the actual video angle. Whats types of videos could really be considered art? The it…

Connect the Dots...or Tweets?

This isn’t exactly a story per say but I thought it would be a fun way to connect My Daily Creates from this week! It all starts with Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Ron always feels left out and like a nobody around Harry and Herminone. Like he’s never good enough. Not even the dementors want him! https://twitter.com/k_heflin/status/844620149596524544 Then we have our little house elf, Dobby, who’s so…
