Projectgress?
Sorry for the bad pun, though technically speaking, I’m not really sure if it counts as a pun.
Vote for Baylor at http://www.one.org/projects/ , apparently we could win a free concert and we’re pretty close in the voting right now.
Anyway, I looked all over the place for tonight’s reading, to no avail. I did learn a little more about the reading though, it is a short story originally published as an anthology. It should be interesting to see how this ties into the class, I look forward to reading it when it comes online.
Though “Really” and “Much” were the two most common words on my blog, (aside from whatever articles and pronouns they take out automatically) I did notice that most of the relatively large words were relevant to what I’ve been writing about, and even showed the tendencies toward discussion of film and video, as we mentioned in class.
So anyway, my project. There hasn’t really been any physical progress on it since yesterday, but I’ll try to elaborate a little more on some of the particular ideas I have in store, or at least want to experiment with. The “word clouds” that I’ve talked about previously have a really neat visual design to them and I’d like to incorporate something similar, perhaps even include some word clouds in the video – for example, I could show a word cloud of a transcription of a part of the video, then highlight a word as Engelbart begins to discuss that particular element, using the cloud as a recurring “map” of what he is talking about.
I don’t want this to become unfocused, but I’m still interested in including media from sources other than the Mother of All Demos, if only to mix things up a bit visually and try to show multiple perspectives on what Engelbart is talking about. I don’t imagine this will be longer than 3-5 minutes but I want it to have enough going on in it that people will want to watch it again.
