The One With Project Three

Today we began doing project three. For my project three I want to highlight the significant events in How I Met Your Mother. I found this idea from a Buzzfeed article that talks about the significant events in the show. Though this post has 50 plus significant events I only plan on using a few. […]

Project 3: Finding Nemo

For project 3 we are tasked with remixing a story of our choice. When I had originally thought of this, I had no idea what to do or how I was going to do it. The first idea that had popped in my mind was to retell a Disney story. Everyone knows Disney, everyone loves […]

remix a story

For this project, I chose Beauty and the Beast. This was one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid — I always wanted to be Belle. I want to focus on bringing this fairytale into the modern world by connecting it with other movies and tv shows that follow the same theme as Beauty […]

A Beastly Remix

I chose to do Beauty and the Beast as my story. There have been so many obvious “remixes” of this story but I think that there are many other stories that capture the essence of this timeless tale without being quite so overt. These are the archetypal bad boys in every romcom out there– the […]

Remix A Story

The story I’ve chosen is Where the Wild Things Are. I will be remixing the 1963 childhood story, not the 2009 film. I’m still stuck between retelling the story with twitter and attached pictures with an audio layover, or film events around campus and the community. The three versions I found of my story include the original […]

Project 3 Story Selection

I’ve chosen to work with The Princess and the Pea for my story redesign. I will work with the original Hans Christian Andersen version, a YouTube children’s channel video version, and a 2012 children’s book called The Pea that provides a slight twist to the story. The citations for each are below. “The Princess and […]
