Netflix Podcast Reflection
The Netflix And Binge Watching podcast is my most informal podcast. Other podcasts had a full or partial script, but for this podcast, Spenser, the podcast’s producer, and I only used an outline. The outline consisted of four parts, one for each part of our podcast. The podcast started with a general overview of how more
Lebrixel Drawing
Completing the 256 points assignment required a free pixel art maker that permitted drawing with pixels.

A few takes were required to get the water to pour at the right speed. I wanted the water pouring fast enough to see it moving, but slow enough that it …
There Hunger Montage
The first step in making the movie montage was installing VLC media player to take screenshots. Initially, I struggled to make the program take screenshots. I tried changing the directory and using multiple movies. After meeting with Professor David Morgen, it turned out that the scene video filter was not on. This meant that the movie …
