The word &#8220;zenith&#8221; means: the time at which something is the most powerful or successful, so given that our final project for Freestyle is called the Zenith, seniors are expected to put in their best effort to create something unique and passionate about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had a difficult time choosing what to focus on for my Zenith project since I could almost do whatever I wanted to. I eventually chose to do an animatic\/animated music video to one of my favorite songs &#8220;\u305f\u3060\u58f0\u4e00\u3064&#8221;, which translates to &#8220;Just One Voice.&#8221; This project was a challenge for me because I didn&#8217;t have much time to do 2d animation, since I would be drawing all the frames by hand. Additionally, I hadn&#8217;t been practicing 2d animation at all because seniors in Animation focus on 3d modeling and animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#e8c2cd\">Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I looked at the album art of the song for inspiration, and these are the two characters I came up with. Since the video would have frame-by-frame animation, I decided to draw two very simple characters to make my life a little bit easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LeannaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/coverart-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LeannaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/coverart-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LeannaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/coverart-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LeannaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/coverart-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LeannaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/coverart-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LeannaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/coverart-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LeannaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/coverart.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LeannaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/coverart-60x60.jpeg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spotify Embed: \u305f\u3060\u58f0\u4e00\u3064\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"80\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay;
