“How can you find, explore, and\/or expand your passion?”
We were asked this question by Freestyle as a sort of prompt for our last project as Juniors at Freestyle. The requirements were that they were related to our elective classes (Animation, for me), and that there was some sort of self-improvement through the process: other than that, we were given complete control over what we wanted to do. I chose to find ways to improve my animation in general, by making it more interesting and realistic. Originally, I had planned to use lighting and panning video shots to make the animation more lively\u2014as seen in this infographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these ideas still stand strong, I didn’t have time to include them in my final animation. I started by creating a simple animation\u2014a ball rolling down a ramp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
