Project 4 Proposal: One of my favorite memories was when I coached my son, Calvin's little league soccer team when he was 9 years old. One day in particular, stands out. Our team was called North End United, located in Burlington, VT. Sun was shining, the air temp was in the mid 60's, on that eventful Fall Saturday. I was the site coordinator for Parks & Recreation so he and I were always the first ones on the pitch, and the last to leave. The freshly cut grass steamed from the evening dew burning off. Every game and practice I would open the clubhouse door and all of my little helpers would help set up the cones, pvc goals, and nets. The skill level of the co-ed team was spread across the spectrum, so it was more important to make sure these kids new the importance of teamwork, hustle, and friendship, more than numerically winning, yet they always added up the goals. Cheering, claps, kicking the ball, heavy breathing, and referee whistles were the dominant sound. I will incorporate sounds with imagery to captivate the vivid memory.
Websites: When I think of my son, stars and the universe are always in the background. This site is creative and interactive and I hope everyone checks it out. I really like the faint moving background on this next site, it gives a feel of going down memory lane. The pop-up book layout display is nice and I would like to learn how this animation is made. Memories make a person go into their past and in this site, the mesmerizing portal will send you on your way.
