Dear Digital Media 2 students:

As we have expected for a while the class will have to be done online for a while.
I made a blog for us… njcudm2.blogspot.com/
You will need to email me at mramocki@gmail.com with email title dm1 student (your name). After that use my regular njcu email.
I’ll sign you up as a blog co-author. During the class period you will 1) post  your dream animation on the blog (you can post a youtube link or upload it directly to blog), 2)comment on other peoples videos 3) I’ll be writing my comments in the order your post appear on the blog 4) feel free to respond, chat, converse! I will communicate class related information via this blog, so keep checking it! Starting March 24th we will also start using Blackboard videoconferencing.


Dear Digital Media 1 students:

As we have expected for a while the class will have to be done online for a while.
I think we can do this without much damage to our projected learning goals, mostly because most of the software learning is done…
So here is my experimental idea… during the Tuesday class period I’ll be online, signed into our class blog. You can email me at any point (mramocki@njcu.edu), post or comment. I would like you guys to write a blog post describing a real dream that you want to use for you second project. This has to be a real dream… very important. Don’t embellish, remove or add anything. Make the narrative as long as it needs to be, include all visual memories, detail etc.
We will exchange ideas regarding which scene of your dream should be used. Usually I would suggest a scene that is “Photoshop worthy”, where something spectacular takes place. But spectacular is in the eye of the beholder…
So during the class time you will write and post your dream narrative, connect with me and narrow down what will become your dream scene. After that is established, begin collecting online images needed for your collage. Remember to stick to large images. Your Dream project will be 10X8 inches, 300 dpi, RGB. Start by making that empty file and bringing everything in.
I also would love if you make constructive comments and suggestions on other students posts. Lets try to have a conversation. I will communicate class related information via blog, so keep checking it! Starting March 24th we will also start using Blackboard videoconferencing.

  1. Leon Valencia: I've been having a very difficult time remembering my dreams. It has to do with not experiencing the correct type and level of REM sleep which ultimately will result to emotional and physical health issues. BUT luckily I remembered this weird dream last night.
    DREAM: MARCH 17, 2020: I am a worker at this laboratory/academy, where students study science and scientists experiment with science. Just so happens that in a laboratory this creature was created it was Black, Tar like and very scary looking, To be honest it looked exactly like one of Spider Mans villain's VENOM. Venom is symbiotic, basically two organisms living in close physical association. Now VENOM escaped the confined prison of the laboratory and found his way into the upper level of the academy/laboratory. This academy was very beige/yellowish very dead. It looked eerie. SO Venom got to the upper level and while parts of my dream was in POV through Venom I saw that he went into a class room filled with students smashed the door open and started grabbing each kid with his tentacle like arm and throwing them everywhere. The scientists from the lab below the academy quickly reacted and released two other versions of Venom which made everyone panic even more. I was able to guide everyone to safety but there was this one teenage girl, who was pregnant and needed to use the bathroom badly. What no one knew was that the 2 new Venoms released were now in the academy searching for the original to destroy it. The teenage girl managed to go to the bathroom except the bathroom wasn't were she went I looked for her high and low in panic and found her standing and peeing. Her pee was coming out differently that's when I found hour she was transgendered. She turned around and was crying in fear that's when I grabbed her hand and told her to pee while we run cause at this point we needed to get the hell outta there. All three venoms just so happened to have cross paths and unfortunately the original (EVIL VENOM) absorbed the other ones. Transforming it into something unstoppable. That's when I woke up from my dream.

  2. Well basically was pretty normal and some of the can be unusual and the truth is my dreams for me I always love the travel to different countries. Sometimes my dreams can be change me to a reality check for the events. I had this crazy dream of that I was running around in the nude without any clothes on the beach jogging, as I woke up, body felt tight on my back.
