I wasn't sure where to begin looking for Flash websites so I googled it and found a few sites that are really nice. The first one I found is really cool, its by Intel and called The Museum of Me. You can connect to facebook through the site and it uploads your facebook life into a museum gallery of you. This is the link to the Intel site. Another site I found was Dave Werners Portfolio, which is really nice. Another site is the Marc Ecko site which I like because the page moves as you move the mouse and its a clean layout which is always nice to see. The last site I found is the Waterlife website, its a really nice design and very interactive.
The memory that I would like to work with is from my wedding day. I was thinking of one of my most emotional moments and it was right before I walked down the aisle. This is what I wrote in my sketchbook: Standing with my bridesmaids, waiting for the music to start, trying not to get too emotional, breathing probably a little too heavily, so nervous and anxious and hating the thought of being the center of attention, I remember feeling like I was having an out of body experience. The music starts to signal the bridesmaids turn to go and my dad squeezes my free hand while my other hand clutches my bouquet. The girls head off, one by one, as I move closer and closer to the doorway. Then my music starts, signaling that it is my turn to walk down the aisle. I hear chairs screeching on the floor as people start to stand. I take my dads arm and then Im walking through the doorway. Time seems to move too slowly and too quickly all at once, I close my eyes and when I open them I see my future husband, waiting for me, smiling. I look down to keep myself from crying. I look back up and I am in front of the flowered archway, and I cant believe this is finally happening. I give my dad a hug and I take Chucks hand, the ceremony goes by so fast and before I know it, we've said our I do's and are pronounced husband and wife. I hear you may now kiss the bride, as camera flashes and clapping begins.
This is one of my greatest memories because it seems like it took forever to get to that point, my husband and I have been together for 8 years and were only married a year and a half ago. We've been through a lot of ups and downs, like any relationship, but I really looked an still do look forward to spending the rest of my life with him.
I forgot to add the imagery and sounds I plan to use. I would like to use flash as a fade in and fade out with my wedding pictures and I would like to find the sounds that I heard during that time. I designed our invitations and programs so I would like to use that imagery as the background.
