I eventually decided that I wanted to recreate the opening of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I knew I could not recreate the whole thing, and so I decided to just animate the &#8220;Water&#8221; and &#8220;Earth&#8221; portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~QuinnAa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-4.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168\"\/><figcaption>Rough Outline<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~QuinnAa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2-1.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-170\"\/><figcaption>Semi-Coloured<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~QuinnAa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3-1.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172\"\/><figcaption>Fully-Coloured<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This had to be one of my favorite projects, just the overall freedom we were given was really nice.
