Winter Camp 2004

The World Spins

My attempt at being artsy. I love the music from Twin Peaks, but the thick, heavy and dreamy music makes it difficult to fit with the gymnastics footage I have.

"Lauren and Surely..."

"Top Fun"

Greg Demer is an autistic adolescent who's grown from a big kid to a really big kid over the years that I've known him. He started out in the regular classes, then I taught him for a while in the adult program. Currently he works with Sara Bonchek and Big Fun once a week. Greg loves planes and knows everything about them. If you play the Top Gun soundtrack during workouts, or play the song "Danger Zone" from it, be prepared to hear it over and over again! For a time, he was very close to getting a back flip on the trampoline. He's a bit big now for handspotting, but it can still be done, as he has enough sense for the skill; I still think he has it in him to one day do it by himself. When that day comes, he will truly be flying!

"Fun, Flip N Sail"

Gettin' Strong Now!

"Try"

I wanted to create a video with some inspiring quotes. So there you have it.



I realize the lettering is small on the YouTubes screen; so maybe I'll try re-editing the video with larger quotes. Maybe....

"Someplace Under the Rainbow"

A parody of "The Wizard of Oz". One of my early video experiments, and a long one at that, just under 100 MBs. It's still one of my favorites, and I think has that *sigh* factor that makes you feel heart-warmed at the end. The rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Ray Charles just lifts me through the stratosphere.

I think this was also my first experimentation in applying sepia to good use. It was fun to make the transition from sepia to technicolor and back again.
