Start of Podcast

Image
I have made my plan for my podcast however there are still a few details that can be changed. I am doing the podcast on the book The Dunwich Horror. This book is one of my personal favorites and I thought it would be interesting to choose a different book other than Call of Cthulhu. I thought maybe I could add some story telling elements when telling the summary of the story to make it more entertaining. I am planning on messing around with the music a lot. I have not recorded for a long time so this week I will probably do a couple test runs of it. I am still brainstorming for an interesting title for the whole podcast and the episode title as well. I might include my brother in the podcast as he has some knowledge on this book as well and I do want another person other than me speaking if possible. My next steps this week are to create titles, test recording, read the story again and create my own summary for it. Thanks for reading and if you guys do have any ideas for my p...

Podcasts

Hello everyone, I hope everyone had a great weekend. We are about to move into the next project and I am not sure where I stand on it. I love listening to podcasts and it is just a great thing to listen while you are working on stuff. The podcast I listen to on the regular is The Last Podcast On The Left . They are a strange group but I find them hilarious and I recommend anyone interested to listen to maybe one of their recordings. They talk about disturbing stories and conspiracies and are very comical. I enjoy podcast but I am not sure how I feel about doing one as I don't think I have the best radio voice. Nonetheless, I think it will be entertaining to see other people's videos and listen to other peoples podcasts. I am fairly positive I will be doing my podcast one of H. P. Lovecraft's books. I have done a couple of YouTube videos before and sometimes I am just not a fan of my voice and I just feel weird when I hear it in a video or recording. Hopefully this ch...

Photo Essay on H. P. Lovecraft

Image
Hey everyone, this is my Photo Essay project. Just wanna say that I was excited to use Photoshop and at the same time was somewhat lost while working on this. It took me a bit to figure out what I was doing but I think I am happy with the results. I have been wanting to use Photoshop more for drawing specifically so most of the edits I did were freehand. My topic was the author's writing career as he grew up. H. P. Lovecraft 9 years old Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born on August 20, 1890.  Around 5 and a half years old Lovecraft started having nightmares that would, later on, appear in his writing. Lovecraft first started his literary works at the age of 7 dealing with poems that restyled the Odyssey and other mythological tales. At 8 years old he had developed an interest in the sciences, mostly in astronomy and chemistry. H. P. Lovecraft 25 years old Lovecraft started out as a potential journalist and joined the United Amateur Pre...

Flyers and Picture stories

Image
Another week has gone by and for me they are all going by quite fast. Last weekend I finished my flyers so I am looking forward to getting some feedback on them as I am not sure how I feel about them. I have seen other people's flyers and from what I have seen they all look pretty well done. The picture story project is still somewhat of a conundrum for me as I do not have a concrete plan for it. I know that I do want to use Photoshop for it and I have one idea that I mentioned in my update last Friday that I am most likely going to try first. For my picture story style, I believe I want to go for the deliberate and heavily edited style. For my goals this week I want to refamiliarize myself with Photoshop whether that means just playing with or watching some more tutorial videos before I dive into the software again. I think I also want to come up with a backup idea for my picture story if my first one doesn't go to plan. Well I think that is all I have to say for now, I lo...
