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

What is the Zenith Project?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For our elective class (mine is film), we were tasked with creating a “Zenith” project, which is basically the project that displays the peak of our abilities and puts everything we have learned at Freestyle into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is MY Zenith Project?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For my own Zenith project, I wanted to learn special effects and learn how to use After Effects better. I decided that I would make a short video displaying the effects that I learn. (Originally I was supposed to make a video containing multiple effects, but because of Covid, I could only do one effect).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is this project a risk or new challenge for me?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This Zenith project is a new challenge for me because it pushes me to grow in my scheduling and planning because I have to make sure I plan with enough time to film each clip and to learn each effect that I want to replicate before I get into the editing. It also will be a new challenge for me to dive deep into After Effects and learn about the things that it can do in the realm of VFX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How will I incorporate my production class skills (new or existing) into your Project?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For my Production Class (Film), I will incorporate scheduling and storyboarding for pre-production, filming the shots using lighting as well as recording sound for production, and using After Effects and Premiere for editing the special effects and piecing the video together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Here are some photos showing the process of creating my Zenith Project! (Because of the shelter-in-place, most of the process was editing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
