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

My film reel – all my best film work from Freestyle

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.

My final senior animated project – The Storm

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.

My animated music video for the song Strawberry Blonde

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

My documentary titled “Gender Euphoria”

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.

My Reflections video essay

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..
