I am <strong>Amanda Jernigan <\/strong>and welcome to my showcase web page. Here you will find a video where I discuss one of the best works that I&#8217;ve done while at Freestyle: <strong>My Zenith Project<\/strong>. As the term &#8220;Zenith&#8221; suggests, this project comes at the end of our Freestyle career when we have reached the summit of our current abilities. For my Zenith, I decided to tap back into a childhood passion of mine: Stop-motion animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"22 23 p8 Showcase AmandaJ\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rIaSghOl-Sg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Showcase Video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After I exit Mountain View High School and Freestyle Academy, I plan to transfer to California College of the Arts after a year at West Valley College. It has taken me a long time to decide what I want to major in and possibly pursue as a career, but ever since I started my Zenith project, and became extremely dedicated to it, I realized how in love I am with Animation. I can&#8217;t wait to start college and continue working on my knowledge and abilities in the Animation world. However, something important that Freestyle has taught me is that I should be open to experiencing things that I might not have considered before. This is another reason why I&#8217;m excited to go to college and\/or the career world, because I will have so many more opportunities to explore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a short film reel focusing on my cinematography skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"22 23 p8 Reel AmandaJ\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7J_ggvv8tBM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Film Reel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past two years I have grown an exponential amount and this reel is proof of that. This time, a year  ago I was taking a break from school and attending a Partial Hospitalization Program, due to my lack of skills to combat my depression and anxiety. Thankfully, I was able to remain in Freestyle after the school year was over, but when I came back at the start of this school year, I was very nervous about what I thought I could accomplish, thinking that the previous year would repeat itself. Fortunately, I underestimated myself. I was able to make a video essay about a topic I was very sensitive about and had trouble admitting before this year (see my Reflections web page.) And my film partner, Aya Iwata, and I were able to successfully produce an 8 minute narrative film that we were both proud of, all while maintaining our own deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of my progress boils down to one of the most important things I&#8217;ve learned at Freestyle: Speaking up for myself. Freestyle is the reason I was finally able to advocate for myself when I knew I needed to temporarily leave school to focus on my mental health. If I hadn&#8217;t done that and hadn&#8217;t been given the space and the supportive environment (which I did receive from Freestyle) to do so, then I would have never been able to produce these projects. My confidence, tenacity, and fortitude has skyrocketed since joining Freestyle and I will constantly aim to apply the lessons I&#8217;ve learned here in the professional world.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you Freestyle, I will forever be indebted to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
