My partner Tim has been involved with the ds106 course (most notably as the pirate in our radio show), but does not blog regularly. We've all gone a bit animated gif mad here and have several in production... I am very very jealous of these animated gifs that he did which I think perfectly capture [...]
here is my trailer mashup assignment - saturday night fever to the audio on strictly ballroom I used mpeg streamclip to save the files and then used adobe premiere (part of my cs3 package). I have never used this before so a bit of a learning curve and thanks very much to Andy Rush [...]
I am currently deciding what to do for the video assignment for ds106. So many things to try. I'm undecided as yet but wanted to share some old videos (made in 2007). These have been blogged before when I made them but the reason I wanted to include them as a ds106 post is because [...]
So another 3am late night finishing the 15 minute radio show which took days to do, days!!! The final version was no where near good enough - with several dodgy segment links and some volume issues.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau Love Henry David Thoreau quotes but using this as my excuse for not keeping up with the daily shoot [...]
I have adjusted this ds106 assignment from 'I can read movies' to 'We can read movies' as we are planning to do a few as a family - lots of ideas rolling in... The first series is the Hitchcock series. Just 4 to start with... For this assignment I used Adobe CS InDesign which I've [...]
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night. Edgar Allan Poe done for the daily shoot - monochrome shot taken with a lensbaby which creates a dreamlike feel I think. I love my lensbaby. Converted to black and white in lightroom. If you don't have [...]
