Timber Jim
Tonight was Timber Jim’s last game. He has been the mascot for the Timbers since the 70’s. An amazing person and an icon in the city as far as soccer fans are concerned. I decided to try my hand at a little multimedia, gathering audio and shooting stills and then piecing it all together before leaving the park. Let me know what you think. I’m new to making audio slideshow’s and I have a lot to work on. This took about an hour or hour and half to mix the audio (which I am horrible at) and make the show.

Craig - Thanks so much for capturing Timber Jim’s final moments on the pitch. I am in Korea this month and had to miss opening night - but your montage let me experience what I missed for just a few moments. Gives me chills!
Hope all is well,
Kari

Great slideshow, Craig. Always impressed with your work. It was a fantastic and memorable night at the stadium, and your shots of Jim capture a lot of that emotion.

Thanks for the beautiful slideshow. Timber Jim is a legend. The smell of that chainsaw will be missed.
Here come the tears…

You did a wonderful job portraying some of the emotions we shared that night. Don’t apologize for the audio, it works very well.
