Youtube

I went through a lot of trouble to shoot this epic 15 second video that came to stun audiences. The entire film making process was long and argues. First me and my team ran across the entire school campus thinking of many different ideas and strategies to make sure the videos turned out right. One of the other groups a local colleague came up to me and I thought I wanted to get hit by a car and make it my short film well it turned out to be a great idea. Problem was that the entire shots have to be put together by camera phones so there was no pause button to cut angles and change them for instant editing. Eventually we turned the conceptually idea to have me get hit by a car to a truck and then from getting hit by a truck to a continuation video from one of my partners in the movie excluding the film director. The continuation was a girl chasing after a man as men chase after woman and the same reactions you would undoughtibly get from a psycho ex-girlfriend trying get back with u out of the blue. In turn she chased and chased begged and begged I hopped onto the side of a truck hit the cab AN take off On that crazy Chica.

Pacasa

Today we worked in our groups to Exastrobated the Pacasa program. Together with my group of four people total, including myself. We took six to ten pictures of ourselves and one another to make a slideshow for our blogs on blogger.com working on taking good characteristic photos and showing a lot of emotion ands creativity in each and every picture that was captured on digital camera. Everyone in the group was really fun to work with we had many laughs and plenty of entertaining moment that grasped our attention. The group was also serious when it needed to be. We got all our shots in and done within a very short time combining creativity and our own personal unique personalities. After working outside for most of the time capturing good shots we moved steadily back into the classroom to view our progress and the fruits of our laborer. We uploaded all our photos into Picasa and brought them al into one album to be prepared for the transfer into our Bloggers. I turned my pictures into Picasa and started to tweak each photo displaying all the ranges from worm to cool colors and by performing different affects around the picture planes. I was able to blend pictures that had personality verity charisma with glowing affects sharpening tools black and white color change, change of tint, blurry after affects and strong contrasts. Eventually I tweaked pulled and stretched all my photos into the positions and colors that I wanted. After moving from that stage of editing my co-workers in my group came to assist me and we assisted each one another with transferring the pictures from Pacasa to our blogs quickly and effectively. In the end of a long day and a lot of editing we all finished up with our pictures being presented on our blogs as a slideshow.

What I think of Twitter!

Twitter, one of the most popular websites and media actions currently used in our time. Originating with aim being the big action that was brought to the world years ago then turning into MySpace and eventually Face book. Now twitter seams to e the new fad for our generation. Being able to post miniature blogs and mass txt messages across the globe and to multiple people at the same time. Being able to find people, friends, movie stars, family and keep connected on a minute to hourly daily weekly basis. As if MySpace wasn’t addicting enough to society now we have people almost stocking one another. Knowing what they’re doing depending on how often they update their twitter posts. It makes people feel more involved with one another and it can make functions become known around your town.
It slowly and ironically quickly can link the city u stay in the community to events that you might be interested in. Allows you to find parties know what’s going on for entertainment over the weekend. It naturally becomes an active market job website if used the correct way. Twitter is an outreach program that allows u to look up people sources contacts you need and maybe even new people that could become your friends. Meeting people daily and hourly by gathering followers who tend to be interested in what you are. Twitter and active community of people that are like u all talking conversing in one large chartroom simultaneously. I personally have a twitter but never use it. I see it As another thing you have to constantly check an update like a MySpace or a face book, you have to stay constantly active and gradually become addicted like other social websites that have person to person interaction but on a more broad public scale. How would you feel if every time u went to the grocery store someone looked at u and said,” I’m right behind you.” To me it’s more of an active stocking website but in reverse format, instead of u being followed by people you don’t know you’re telling them what you’re doing and were your location is. The daily activities you do and so on an so forth. It doesn’t seem to show any type of personal privacy in any way. It pushes the envelope of a fast base random chartroom of people who all seem to hop onto a particular topic and talk about it,

CHALLENGES

This class is a basic review over all the computer applications. Word, excel outlook, etc. So far the class itself has been straightforward and really insightful and a great review and pushes the info u need to understand about Macs & Pc’s. Right now the hardest thing in this class is the BOC. The deadlines before class even starts and it makes it kind of hard if I do have to ask questions or nee a critique when I cant say or ask anything until after class starts. Honestly this has been the worst problem for me this class. I understand computers application at a high level. The EOC’s are all turned in and done right, I know how to do the applications that are in class to and am doing fine when we are in the classroom but some times when I’m not here I cant log into the Eonline account to check assignments and see what I have to work on for that week or turn be able to drop an assignment. But the BOC is currently the biggest problem I have in this class with the little time I have to use a computer in the first place because of all the animation projects but on top of that just deadline is  just to strenuous, for example on week 2 assignment I was in the lab turning in my assignments at 7:50 and I kept trying to send it/drop it. Nothing was going through so it was very frustrating because eventually it let me drop my homework minutes after the 8:00am deadline.  The Bookwork needs to be more interactive with what is needed for the midterm . wich needs to be more specific with what has to be on the quiz and its hard to work on everything  going on

Guradge Band

The type of music I would love to create comes from my traditional style of not being traditional. I love hip-hop and rap music.  Hard hitting beats from the smooth west coast to the  eccentric electric ruff rhythmus of the East coast all the way to the Chopped screwed and twisted lyrics of the south.  Music is traditionally shown as a part of u a way to express yourself. But I like rock music with the speed of smooth metal and electric sounds of guitars to the ruff tireless drums. Mixing all the music styles together with a twist of R&B I would like to put something very unique that everyone of all styles would appreciate.   Slipping in some heavy metal like Metallica and slipknot with some R&B beats would give the music an almost punk rock feel. But with the twisted beats a new type of music is born mixing the rock rap feeling is like water and oil and if it is able to be combined properly it becomes something more, like a lava lamp(beautiful entertaining and elegant)  I like putting electric classic beats together to make a funky European style that mixes with American hip-hop.  

Putting in a nice smooth sax with a metal Spanish guitar makes music sound beautiful

SpyWare Scare

Right now I have about 2 different maybe 3 different spyware finders malware finders and virus finders. I have all they proper and real legitimate anti virus software I use about to maybe 3 different computer scan every other day. I scan for all types of viruses sometimes the Trojan horse antagonist virus is one of the biggest computer crashing and file distorting virus strains. I come across all kinds of viruses but my biggest fear is that every once in a while viruses will break through my firewalls through my scans and will infect everything to the point I cannot turn my computer off and must do it manually . By taking out the battery pack and unplugging the charging cord. This has become a very stressful situation because some days I will go on my laptop and log into Internet Explorer and all of a sudden my Internet will freeze then an Infinite Amount forcing me to close the window in a more rural way. Pop-ups are all of a sudden enabled even with a pop-up blocker.
I swear the scariest thing I must say is when someone can literally just turn your computer off or freeze it or make your icons and start menus on your screen vanish. Completely rendering me and my accounts, business, homework, artwork, gaming, pictures all to the persons will. It seems almost impossible to fix a problem that every time u start up the device the screen doesn’t show anything but your background. No way of interacting, adding a program to clean the files nothing, it will make me freak out and become rather frustrates in an age of well defined information being passed around via computer. Without one in my hands or the ability to access one it can make life rather uncomfortable. One day I believe a super virus will be made by thousands of hackers and program modifiers that will be able to hit the central hub of Bill Gates base programs and make all the computers become a slave drive to there viruses protocols. Forcing bank statements from online transactions to be scanned into systems credit card numbers and social security numbers to be searched for and stripped from the memory drives. Passwords account information and other valuable things to be taken used and manipulated by the code writers will and for personal gain or just turning off every Pc a particular virus touches off permanently, shutting down boot up protocols and restore memory defaults. That’s what scares me about the Internet and spyware.
