2P60 Response: Web 2.0 Communities

Here is my first of 9 responses to the topic in my 2P60 class. This time it is about web 2.0 communities. Now I am a participant of some of these. More some than others. Primarily facebook. I really have to questions how far communities go. Facebook is certainly a great place to communicate with friends you already know. While MMORPGS are great places to meet new people. Even though I really don't go on it anymore I believe that Runescape could be considered a community. The difference is that there are more strangers than friends to interact with. But going into MMORPGS is not something I really want to do anymore. I have nothing against MMORPGS or people who play them just I would just get to into it and then I would continuously forget to do work (such as these blog post). I believe online communities are simple places people can share, communicate and meet new people. Either in a forum post or an MMORPG it all counts. Forums are also a new place to meet people. The good thing is that you can be pretty sure that they have the same interest as yourself. I have been on video game boards with friends and random people, and hearing a different point of view is always good.

Back to School

So i'm back to school. Sitting in IASC 2P60 class. seems interesting.... well i'm just setting this up. Hope it still works...

its 3 am

Its 3 am, and i have decided , after such a long period of time to update this blog. Yes everyone clap. Well, I can't sleep. to many nights staying up late. Well, term 1 is over, term 2 is now....Great.......I dunno. Its very similar, mostly because i am sitting at home (not dorm room home, but home home, where i have to shovel the driveway and cook supper sometimes. Where my friends wont stop bugging me and i drop cash like a spoiled rich kid, which i'm not). I did some work, still need to do the portfolio part, so check the main site to find it. thats all for now.

Group Work: Video

The group video project went very smoothly. More smoothly than I thought. Everyone in the group all contributed as much as they could. Once our idea came together the storyboard was easy. and everything in the shooting went smoothly. We only had to re shoot a few scenes but we had no real trouble. This was a great a fun project.

Audio Assignment

My assignment is plain and simple, and I like it that way. The original noise is a clip of a cougar (tried lion, wasn't as good). From my perspective this soundscape is trying to show time. It may not seem like it but after putting it together I get the feeling we are stuck in the middle. on side is slow, exaggerative. The other side is fast, exciting. Our lives are in the middle, and we can lean to either side.

Storyboard

Well, here it is. My really bad storyboard. I tried, really but I just couldn't put what was in my head on the computer. But here's the third best thing.
