Who I am<\/h2>\n

\"MeMy name is Alex Beattie, I was born in Madrid in 2002. Growing up I had a sharp interest in video games, and quickly into YouTube. The more YouTube I watched, the more interested I became in making my own content. I started out making small stop motion videos with legos, like I saw the big content creators doing at the time. These skills quickly translated into school projects, where I already knew how to do basic video editing, and could play around with what I knew and how to make my audience enjoy my videos. Even though it may seem irrelevant, and childish now, these early days laid the foundation for who I am today, and helps me achieve my artistic goals.<\/p>\n

What I did<\/h2>\n

I was a film student at freestyle, from the years of 2019-2020. Freestyle is separate from traditional school, which excels in education about art. Even though it advertises as an art school, I have learned so many real life skills here. To me, freestyle was like a beginner course to college and being an adult. Everyone who was here loved being here, and seeing the quality of what people produce alongside me was a real change of pace from the typical school experience. The projects that I worked on and produce are posted on this website for you to see throughout my time at freestyle.<\/p>\n

Reflection<\/h2>\n

Freestyle is the key experience that helped me become a more capable adult. To me, Freestyle is not just a school, it’s also a closely knit family. And I think that aspect is important, because with inspiring people working alongside you, it’s hard not to try and be inspiring too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
