Renaissance Music Collaboration

 

I collaborated with Lewis  at Riverdale School on this piece of renaissance music. 

I added to what he had created by including more strings and woodwind.  These are instruments they might have had in the years of 1400 and 1500s when Leonardo Da Vinci was alive.

Create a story

 

Made with Storyboard That

Storyboard That is a great tool to use to tell a story with a beginning, middle and end. 

Changing the characters to convey emotion as well as the words works really well.

I like that I could change the pose as well as the face to help convey my ideas via a visual image.

Primary Colour Animation

 

Here is my animation using primary colours.

I used royalty free music called Little Star which I added in the Stop Motion Animator App.

I saved the .webm file to my drive and found the embed code by going to the three dots and opening a new window.

Piet Mondrien

 

We have been learning about the art of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian.

We tried to create something similar to his art and to have sounds that go with the art.

Here is my Scratch project. Click the flag and also see what the arrow and space bars keys do.

Incredisounds

Incredibox is so addictive and is a great way to create original sounds. I like to use it as backing tracking for a video.

It is interesting to play with the different parts of the sound and see what effect it has pausing one part and  then bringing it back in again.

The link above is to The Love which is version 4.  Versions 1-4 can be used on chromebooks.

Lil' Miss is version 2

Here is my very short test of Lil Miss.

Each version references a different music style. More details are on Wikipedia.

What makes a great blog post

I have created a powtoon. 

I have embedded the powtoon below. Above I have taken a screenshot and linked to the powtoon.

Commenting Wonders

I found this easy to do because it was fun.

I had to work hard to make the layers on the video look natural.

I set the goal of the video being 30 seconds. As a result, some of the text may be hard to read as it is not on screen long enough.

Making Blogging Awesomeness

I started a powtoon about a quality blog post. 

My next step is to add sound and to include all six of the steps to a quality blog post.

Have you ever used powtoons?

Creating Chicken in 10 minutes

I made this quick creation using what I could find nearby using the stop motion animator app.

I added audio after the captures. The audio seemed to time out at 30 secs. 

It is a good idea to do a test so as to ensure the camera is getting the background and also the foreground needs to be included so I could move the chicken and it could be seen.

I saved the video file in the app which downloads the file, then I uploaded it to Drive.
From the Drive I could get the embed code when I opened the video file in a new window.

Using Blog Labels

Testing out Reclipped

 Reclipped is a way to make notes on videos and share them.

My notes about Introduction to Cell.

Take 2

I also used a video that I had in in Drive.

I uploaded to Reclipped using the link of the video. Then I could annotate and share using a new URL. 

I can't find an embed code so I have taken a screenshot and then linked the URL.
