I'd lose the blue and green dude with the tongue stuck to the floor. And the Belrock from LOTR. Other then that it kickass mate!

One crit...I think you could have pushed the transition from calm to yelling a little more. Also, I don't buy that he's really upset when he says "A very simple formula!" Otherwise, it's pretty good. I haven't seen your reel yet.

Looking very nice - I still think you need a little more 'squintiness' in places on the eyes though. :D

The reel is looking really solid now - got a nice collection of work there.

Probably agree with the other poster, about the guy with the long tongue being one of the weaker pieces, but I'm guessing that this one's next for the cutting room floor anyway, once you get your new character together.

Overall - lovely work, keep it up dude! :thumbsup:



ps. I won't forget the book tomorrow!

Awsome!!

Very cool Jon, couple thoughts...

I agree with watty, he needs some more life in the eyes. 2 places, the squintiness in the lids, both upper and lower, and the brows. The brows ALMOST NEVER MOVE!! Really push that stuff! I'd also put some sharpness in the head movements. Places like "prom" you could really use the head to help accent the dialoge. Right now it's a little slow and smoot. Keep it up, I saw your reel and you're really improving! Rock on,

Zach

Nice looking stuff. One of the better reels I've seen in a while.

A few comments...

Loose the guy stuck to the floor.

Up the sound levels a bit on the dialogue parts. The difference in volume between when it's just music and when there is talking is too much, I had to keep turning up my speakers then turning them back down when the music started up again.

I would either fix the falling of the LOTR guy and NOT cut away from it ( I assume you cut away because the fall didn't show any weight, which it doesn't look like it's going to) or take that section out alltogether.

When I was looking at reels for hiring interns at a company I worked for, I would judge them not only by the quality of the reel, but by their choices of what they put in it. That means that I would usually choose a 1 minute reel that was 1 min of great stuff over a 5 min reel that was 3 min great and 2 only so so. You have to know when your stuff is only so so and make the cut there.

Good luck! =)
