Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Zenith project, as I understand it, is supposed to be one of our most polished projects at freestyle. In film class, I was told that Zenith means something along the lines of “pinnacle” because this project should ideally be one of our most high-quality projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other aspect of Zenith is that is very self-guided since we choose our own projects. As some of my fellow classmates might remember I care a lot about my gramps and have wanted to make a documentary about him for a long time. I’ve been trying ever since the documentary project of my junior year. Well, the time has finally come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step was to prepare interview questions for my two lovely grandparents and then to drive over to ask them while the camera was rolling. Then once I had the footage and audio I got to work compiling it. In total, I had two and a half hours of interview footage of my grandparents and while I enjoyed talking to them, I knew I wasn’t going to make a feature-length documentary so I had my editing work cut out for me. I also dove into the realm of frame-by-frame animation for the first time with this project which was a new challenge for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
