Animation Demo Reel

[amannin]

this is just the neg. crits:

"Bob," your soldier guy --> when he lands he goes back n' forth too much --- and also, when he jumps, it doesn't really give a sense of weight -- he just sort of shoots up.

Also, when the big purple guy is running down the alley, it looks very rigged and mechanical --- though, I understand his big and stalky, it just doesn't feel right. Though when he slows down, it looks fine.

The Austin Power's scene, your speaking character's arm movements seem a little too slow, needs more speed, maybe some pop (just a tad) --- maybe less ease in and ease out on some of the movements --- makes his arms kind of just float into each pose *hope i'm making sense*

I thought everything else was good -- though, you should maybe consider the order of your animations --- unless you consider those that come first, to be your strongest.

I hope you find these crits useful, goodluck with the job hunt

Hey amannin,

Thanks for the crits!!! I will tryout some of your ideas.

As far as changing up the order, what would you suggest?

thanks

- 40 seconds (10 begin, 30 end) of credits in a 120 minute reel doesn't make much
sense to me, and might be a part of why the file size is so huge for 2 mins.

- the skateboarder was interesting, and the best thing in the reel, you might
want to extend that with some other "board tricks"

- white orange guy's head looked a bit stiff, animation was a bit dull, you might exaggerate the arm motion a bit when he says "it sucks".

- soldier jump not bad, might add a somersault or something else unique

- nice lighting and scenery with the monster/hammer guy - good animation on the
the hammer guy

- purple monster guy, "floating" a bit

- three guys at a table, too long, nothing special / unique / funny happening there,
you might bring the camera in closer, so just head-shoulders are shown, and switch
the camera during the shot showing their reaction / thoughts etc

The skateboarder grabbed my attention, but the rest of your reel is just "ok", and doesn't really stand out anywhere
