The exhibitions show our knowledge and understanding of not only the subjects, but the tools we used to create the projects. We learn how to effectively communicate through writing, speaking, and the art we make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From these projects, I&#8217;ve learned how to tell more through less clutter. I was to be efficient in my story telling as well as broaden my capabilities as a creator. In visual narratives, communication and heart is the most critical things. If you have nothing to say that you&#8217;re passionate about, viewers won&#8217;t connect with it as much. A project can have a lot of passion, but if the creator is unable to communicate the essence of it to an audience, people wouldn&#8217;t be able to understand it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"banner storybanner wp-block-heading\">Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our English classes, we wrote a narrative with the limit of 1000 words. I chose to write about ancient, Greek characters, Orpheus and Adonis, but retold in a new setting. For the audio reading, I used the DR-05 recorder for the narration. My friends, Shan as Orpheus and Jade as Adonis, sent me their recordings of the dialogue. I then edited the audio and implemented sound effects into the reading to make it an immersive experience. having my friends help bring the story to life not only brought us closer, but now we have this artifact of our friendship we can look back on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Sign here, please.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/996504130&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/freestyle-academy\" title=\"Freestyle Academy\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Freestyle Academy<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/freestyle-academy\/story-by-letitiap-2021l\" title=\"Story By LetitiaP (2021)\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Story By LetitiaP (2021)<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Transcript<\/h6>\n\n\n<p>Orpheus would be an easy face to pass in the school halls if he didn\u2019t chat so much. His face was much too average at a glance. That didn\u2019t bother him. People recognized and grew sick of his frivolous speech, so he\u2019d end up in the cafeteria alone. It\u2019d bother me if I shared those complexities.<\/p>\n<p>Orpheus was at the lunch table, stranded, until I came over to show him my petition. Perhaps his loneliness would work in my favor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only I, but the 45 clubs would appreciate it if you could sign right there. Mrs. Boris set the deadline for this to be by the end of lunch today.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Orpheus\u2019 signature should\u2019ve been easy pickings. Tracing the row of names delicately, he avoided smearing ink on his finger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTell me, Adonis, is this regarding the upcoming dance?\u201d<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">\u201cTo provide more funds for the clubs, we\u2019ll need the budget cut and redistributed from the dance,\u201d I confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to impose financial limitations regarding the banquet,\u201d Orpheus stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, the budget cuts.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When there wasn\u2019t any immediate objection, I rolled the backpack in front of me to reach for my one Bexley fountain pen. Orpheus\u2019s hand rose, as if that\u2019d coax the panther of a pen towards it.<\/p>\n<p>It continued to sit in my hand.<\/p>\n<p>He longingly studied the pen. The golden trimmings? The sleek, black coating? No person would pass the opportunity to touch it, especially if their name was Orpheus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dance won\u2019t have the regular level of pristine and dedication as previous years?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Talk about overstatements. The dances were at best mediocre and at their worst, heat boxes of sweat and heartbreak. Orpheus could write a Galla-level review of the blasted thing. Regardless, with the patience of a waiter, I held a smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot necessarily.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I took the lack of an immediate objection as permission for the pen to find its way into Orpheus\u2019 hands. It carefully rolled in his palm while I pointed at the empty space.<\/p>\n<p>The tip hovered centimeters above.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019d be rather charitable of me, wouldn\u2019t it?\u201d Orpheus thoughtfully sighed. \u201cUnfortunately, it seems we\u2019ve reached a conflict of interest, dear Adonis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t going to fall into Orpheus\u2019 trap. I won\u2019t let him swallow my time just because I wanted clarification about his woes. A long sigh stopped me from nudging his attention back to signing.<\/p>\n<p>The back of Orpheus\u2019 hand rode onto his forehead. \u201cIt\u2019s just that I want this dance\u2014I <em>need<\/em> this dance\u2014to be the best it can be, for the bird of my feather.\u201d<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">\u201cYes, bu-\u201d<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">\u201c<em>Eurydice<\/em>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even the way he said her name sounded like cursive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, <em>but<\/em>, we also need you.\u201d Just the signature.<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">\u201cAre you making me choose between a magnolia and this forest of shrubs? Do you want me to reject the future of a destined bond for capitalism? Adonis, have you ever found a person who is not only the East, but Western sun? Who lights your day? Shows you what true humanity and warmth is when all you\u2019re surrounded by is Winter moons? I need you to understand she <em>is<\/em> the divinity of wood whirls, the harmony in a swan\u2019s call, the euphoria of a ballad. Oh, Adonis, she is the muse of my words!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the heat of witnessing what Orpheus\u2019 diary must go through, at least thirty minutes of lunch were wasted convincing this Shakespearean-stan to sign a bloody line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A warning bell rang.<\/p>\n<p>Make that forty five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrpheus, you don\u2019t need all those decorations, do you? It\u2019s just one dance.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He solemnly shook his head. \u201cYou don\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease, Orpheus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow else am I supposed to win her heart without the reflections of a disco ball or streamers lining the gymnasium? With your budget plan, hell, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if <em>cookies<\/em> were cut from the menu options!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His face reddened at the usage of a word that\u2019d normally be so extreme for his vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>Extreme words called for extreme measures.<\/p>\n<p>Little to no thought was put into my climb of the lunch table, as if I were auditioning to be featured in a musical. For once, Orpheus was the one staring at me. His face wasn\u2019t nearly as judgmental as the ones of people around us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can have a dance right here, right now, without your disco lights or treats!\u201d I declared, my adrenaline making my voice louder than intended.<\/p>\n<p>Orpheus tentatively got up. The offering of my hand was enough to convince him to join me on the pedestal.<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">\u201cYou feel life in your moves? The skip in your steps? The tango in your blood?\u201d<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">Matching each other\u2019s rhythm, we rocked side to side in what must\u2019ve looked like a monkey courtship dance to an outsider. Orpheus\u2019 face scrunched.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes\u2026\u201d He began to nod. \u201cI do, Adonis!\u201d<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">\u201cWhy do you need those decorations when you have Eurydice to color your world, already?\u201d<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">With the lack of music, the silence of the cafeteria heightened. I did my best to just focus on Orpheus. He followed my lead in quiet beats before exploding into a firework of realization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re right! Forgive me, Adonis, for letting my selfishness cloud my judgement. I don\u2019t need all the lights in the world or Cirque du Soleil to confess my admiration. The dance will still be enough if we\u2019re there!\u201d<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">I nodded, not paying much attention to his revelation as I gathered the clipboard up to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you\u2019ll sign?\u201d<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\">Orpheus gave a choked smile as his pen rose into the air. It boldly dashed across the line in a rehearsed fashion before halting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh goodness, I need to ask Eurydice to the dance, don\u2019t I?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the ring of a school bell, Orpheus leaped off our makeshift stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you, Adonis. You\u2019ve opened my eyes!\u201d He called, bounding off to where his heart\u2019s compass led to Eurydice, presumably.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I looked down at the half signature.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough, my mouth hadn\u2019t found a frown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-1024x553.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-1024x553.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-768x414.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-1536x829.png 1536w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-1600x863.png 1600w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Pro Tools file of the album art for &#8220;Sign here, please.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Album-Art-1024x554.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Album-Art-1024x554.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Album-Art-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Album-Art-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Album-Art-1536x831.png 1536w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Album-Art-1600x865.png 1600w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Album-Art.png 1916w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Illustrator file of the album art for &#8220;Sign here, please.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"banner illustrationsbanner wp-block-heading\">Illustrations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Stickers.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Stickers.png 612w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Stickers-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this project, I was inspired by a creature you can catch while fishing in the Supergiant game, <em>Hades<\/em>. That creature is a &#8220;Voidskate&#8221;. I made a sketch in Clip Studio Paint for the drawing and then imported it to Adobe Illustrator to create a vector version of it. I grew more confident with layers and the pen tool through this. I\u2019m very happy with the end result. Quite honestly, I wouldn\u2019t change anything about this project. Since the drawing would become something physical, I wanted to make it so that I\u2019d still be happy with it years later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m proud of how I created shading by using the blocks of colors as well as the belly of the Voidskate. The pose is dynamic and would bring more life to my desk. I learned how to pace myself on projects such as these and&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m now a lot more appreciative of vector drawn art pieces. Even if there\u2019s a design that seems simple, there was still a lot of thought put into it to make it efficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Sticker-Art-1024x557.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Sticker-Art-1024x557.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Sticker-Art-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Sticker-Art-768x418.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Sticker-Art-1536x836.png 1536w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Sticker-Art-1600x871.png 1600w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Popescu_Letitia-Illustrator-Sticker-Art.png 1913w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A screenshot of the file opened on Illustrator.

We both enjoyed the game very much and went through various song ideas while coming up with lyrics. We settled on the song \u201cBoys Will Be Bugs\u201d by Cavetown since we felt the clear syllables and pacing of the song was best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~LetitiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Parody-by-LetiP2020.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Boys Will Be Sus<br>Parody of &#8220;Boys Will Be Bugs&#8221; by Cavetown<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>I am a crewmate<br>I do tasks and run around<br>I try to avoid electrical<br>And I cannot swipe my card<br>I feel anxious (anxious)<br>Tired (tired)<br>Pretending to be doing task<br>I know I am sus but<br>I\u2019ll beat you up if you vote me off<\/td><td>I\u2019m the impostor<br>And I think this time I\u2019m gonna get green<br>Don\u2019t vote for me, I was not anywhere close to the body<br>I did my tasks, Greens acting sus, we have to vote somebody<br>Don\u2019t mess with me \u2018cause I\u2019ll sabotage, I wanna make you lose<br>Ain\u2019t that how it\u2019s s\u2019posed to be?

The song depicts the story of a player who is pretending to be a crewmate when they are actually the imposter. Their gameplay strategy includes faking tasks as well as shifting blame. A challenging aspect of producing the song was removing the vocals. During the remakes I\u2019ve made of the parody, I added backing kazoo playing as well as mimicked the different backing vocals in the original song to make it more personalized. The song went through major phases, the original version having a voice impression of Toad from the Mario Games. I changed that to be my normal voice so the lyrics would be more understandable. I\u2019m proud of using the feature of having it sound like there are voices coming from different directions, such as for the \u201canxious\u201d and \u201ctired\u201d bit. I spent time retaking takes for the vocals and adjusting volumes so the parts I want the audience to hear foremost would come to the front. In the song clip used, there were two instrumental parts, so I needed to learn how to have the LPF turn off and on twice in the same song clip to have the bass in the mix when appropriate. It was a slow process to have all of the pieces come together for my parody, but I\u2019m happy with the problem solving and effort I put into it. Removing the vocals from the original improved with each remake. If I were to do it again, I may try to have all of the different parts of I\u2019ve made for the song come together more cohesively. I\u2019m very happy with the syllables and rhyme of the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll be able to create more song parodies in the future using the skills I\u2019ve learned from this project. I also feel a lot more confident with ProTools and the program seems a lot less intimidating. I could help others create their own song parodies as well and branch out to make my own songs from scratch.
