10/13 - Midterm Blog Post !

OK, I choose "video" as the topic of this blog post!

      In the ds106, I found an assignment in video category, that is "How I Made It".
This assignment basically wants student to edit so called "Tutorial video" that teach
how you can create certain type of art, video, etc. This assignment reminded me a
popular tutorial video that is teach how you can shoot Kamehameha in your video!
Check the video here!




      In the last post, I talked about fan films on YouTube and then I introduced
a Kamehameha video for an example. That one actually followed this movie.
This tutorial video got almost 3 million accesses so far, definitely one of the most
popular tutorial video on YouTube. Because of its popularity, you see hundreds of
Kamehameha clips there. Check this blog that lists up several Kamehameha videos
on YouTube!

      Kamehameha is from Dragon Ball, famous blast attack in the anime. Since the
anime have been watched in many countries. There are million of DB fans all over
the world. This is a quote from a blog.
"It was one of the first cartoons that done Japanese Anime renouned in the Western World and non-stop the doorway to the entire world"(by caro).
Especially, Kamehameha is so popular that Kamehameha Contest was once held at 
Armageddon Pop Culture Expo in New Zealand. (Check this blog explaining about the event!)
This popularity and great tutorial video create helped many Kamehameha shooters upload
their videos on the Internet! This is a good example that tutorial video can be so influential
to other people. It even can create such a interesting and big wave!


Kamehamehaaaaaaaaaa!!

  1. Great looking post. I didn't realize there was a ds106 assignment that involved making a tutorial of your process in completing another assignment. That is an awesome idea - thanks for picking it up and blogging about it.

    Seems like you've got a lot of experience working with video. Maybe you will try to make one of these tutorials about your process in making a YouTube video.

    One quick note related to the midterm, please think about the piece of text that appears as your hyperlink. Two of the ones in your post are just the word blog. Try either using the name of the blog or the blogger worked in to your text. And finally, the final link doesn't strike me as an actual blog. What do you think?
