My name is Rye Donaldson, and I&#8217;m an Animation student at Freestyle Academy. Below is a short video compilation of some of my best work, followed by a more detailed explanation of my three best projects\/pieces. I will focus on my Junior Documentary, Senior Worldbuilding, and Senior Zenith! Please enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My reel &#8211; a short video compilation of some of my best work from Freestyle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"23 24 p8 Reel RyeD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bi11-5zk8Bc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">documentary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my junior year at Freestyle, I created a written and animated documentary about the issues with neurodivergent education, specifically in the US (although much of it applies to other places with similar systems). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m neurodivergent, and most of my family and friends are too. Many of us have struggled a lot with aspects of the education system, and so it\u2019s a very important topic to me that I\u2019m passionate about and wanted to explore further.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><a class=\"fancybox-pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/website-Donaldson_Rye-Documentary-Paper.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"155\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/page-1-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-464\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">click to read full documentary!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this project, I interviewed two people. The first was Efsun Alper Sweet, a neurodivergent actor and drama teacher, and a mom to neurodivergent kids. The second was my younger sibling, Sunday (who went by Racoon at the time), who is neurodivergent too and has struggled with aspects of school as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For my animated documentary, I cut down the audio recording from my first interview with Efsun Alper Sweet, and created an animation to bring her stories to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"22 23 p3 Animated Documentary RyeD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JRq0J2tjlco?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/documentary\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"30\">documentary<\/a> page for more details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">worldbuilding project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When a sudden sickness disrupts peace in the Valley, a studious young sigil scholar must join hands with three other misfits to uncover buried history and heal the ancient scars of their world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The worldbuilding project was a huge group project in English. We worked together in groups to brainstorm and build a world, characters, and a story. From this, we wrote a treatment and created a pitch presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I collaborated with my close friends Sofia Dominguez and Aditi Biswas. For some quick context, our story takes place in a fantasy world with four tribes of magic: Sigil, Music, Alchemy, and Blacksmith.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><a class=\"fancybox-pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AditiB_SofiaD_RyeD-Worldbuilding-Narrative-Treatment-1.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"162\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/treatment-thumbnail-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-792\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click to read full treatment!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our main cast consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tala, our 18 year old main character who is a member of the Sigil Tribe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sol, a 15 year old member of the music tribe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wren, a 19 year old member of the Alchemy Tribe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and Lazarus, a 29 year old member of a secret fifth tribe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is our full treatment to the left, and below you can watch our recorded pitch presentation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"23 24 p6 World Building SofiaD RyeD AditiB\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/STB_FAn7BRY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/narrative-visual-perspective-in-english\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"756\">narrative visual perspective in english<\/a> page for more details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">zenith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, there&#8217;s my Zenith project. For our Zenith, we have freedom to do almost anything within or related to our elective class, and so this project is both a representation of our passions and a culmination of the skills we\u2019ve learned during our time here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For my Zenith project in Animation, I chose to work with my close friend Sofia Dominguez. We wanted to take the characters from our worldbuilding project and make them come alive, and so we ultimately created an opening animation for our story as if it were a real cartoon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is this final animation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"23 24 p7 Zenith SofiaD RyeD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d7O_Bwg9EHk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And here is our final zenith presentation, where we go more in-depth about our process and answer questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"23 24 p7 Zenith Celebration RyeD SofiaD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pd8a1-h-w_I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/zenith\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"42\">zenith<\/a> page for more details!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
