The first site I found is called Mono* crafts and what I found interesting about the site was the way it use flash and the way the viewer has to interact to navigate throughout the site. Usually with sites such as this one the interaction only goes as far as move the mouse around and clicking things for link. In this site the viewer is made to interact with their mouse in such a way that the placement of the mouse on the screen will make the screen zoom in or make the links move fast or slow. Another aspect that I liked was the way that the site use subtle ambient sounds that are slightly annoying but still attract the attention of the viewer.
The second site I found is an interactive video of the song "Neon Bible" by Arcade Fire. What I found interesting about this site was different uses of flash throughout the video and the how the viewer could interact with the person singing the song. One of my favorite interactions is about half way through the song you can click on his hand and rain starts to come out. Eventually the screen fills up with water if you don't click his hand closed. What amazed me was that the viewer can interact with the singer and things that happen on the screen and the song never messes up or changes. The designer was able to allow chance interaction while still keeping the song and singer the same.
The third site I found is for a product called the "Turbo Chef." This site was awesome, it drew my attention in so well that I ended up going through each recipe and watching the chef describe each cooking process. By adding in a chef that gave descriptions of each cooking process as well as describing how well the product works and how well it works makes the site personable. It almost seems like you have a personal professional chef teaching you how to make high quality foods.
The last site I found was a cool site that lets you create your own movie with images the viewer has taken of themselves or other pictures through Facebook. So not only are you making your own movie which is pretty awesome the designer of the site understands the power of social media in the present day and the cool stuff you can do with it. What really made this site awesome was that after I went through some of the process I realized that this site is the perfect example of how to I could create my memory for Project #4.
