My goal was to create as many symbols as possible to animate different parts of the body as they transitioned into new poses, expressing my character\u2019s journey toward contentment. Although It became an overall overwhelming challenge, this project has been passionately fun for me. As someone who once loved yoga and used other animation software like Autodesk, this experience brought back core memories of the comfort I feel when I have creative autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storyboard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-fall-2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4338\/2025\/11\/findingZen-1-1024x791.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-fall-2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4338\/2025\/11\/findingZen-1-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-fall-2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4338\/2025\/11\/findingZen-1-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-fall-2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4338\/2025\/11\/findingZen-1-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-fall-2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4338\/2025\/11\/findingZen-1-1536x1187.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-fall-2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4338\/2025\/11\/findingZen-1-1568x1212.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-fall-2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4338\/2025\/11\/findingZen-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding Zen Fall 2025 Adobe Animate For my animation final, I wanted to create a piece showing a person finding their own version of a zen state through simple, seated yoga poses.
