Intro
Hi, my name is Alex Sharp and I was a student at Freestyle Academy from 2022-2024. Freestyle is a digital arts program connected to my high school where I took film classes. Freestyle allowed me to follow my passion for film and grow my skills. This page is a collection of some of my best work that I have done in the past two years, both from Freestyle and personally.
Film Reel
To start off my portfolio, Here’s a concise film reel showcasing some of my best work from my live action film projects and what role I had in each project. The music in my film reel is also composed by me.
Animated Projects
While I did study Film Production, animation is also one of my passions. I have been doing animation since 2019, but only recently got the opportunity to do an animated short for Freestyle.
The Storm is the final film I left Freestyle with. It was my dream project where I was in charge of everything, from the story to the character designs. I’m really proud of it and think it is one of my best projects so far.
This was a personal project that I did before I joined Freestyle. This project helped me learn how to do backgrounds and editing. It was one of the first times I used Premiere. I think it still holds up.
Film Projects
This is my Junior Documentary I made in 2023. This project is very special to me because I got to get involved with trans and queer culture in the Bay Area. I got to hear other trans people’s experience and I found a sense of community. This documentary got accepted into the San Francisco Transgender Film Festival.
This film is meant to showcase who I am as a person. I tell a story from my childhood and connect it to how I am today. I also incorporated some animation on top of the live action footage, which helped me when making The Storm..
