some of the work is good, but the reel pace is much too slow. The transitions seemed to be on the screen more than your actual work.

Personally, if I were in a time cruch (as many reel screening people are), I would have closed it down while the little intro music was playing to a blank screen.

the owrk looks nice, but when i looked at it i knew all the references from the different animes and cars and stuff... but i think that since there are no original works that may kinda suck if a person sees it and also recognizes all teh work also... it may be unappealing to them since it doens't really display that you have any originality.. i mean don't get me wrong the work is great... but maybe it might be a problem.... but keep it up... good luck!!

shame on you guys...this man just graduated and is eager to hear if you think he sucks...and well...you say just that..by not replying...i agree with that long black screen in the beginning bro...other than that..i like it..i think you could show off your models a little more than that though...and just a question because im not "in the industry" if he doesn't have original work in there is it that big of a deal?i dunno...chances are he won't be doing anything original at work...either way..keep on truckin padna

Okay, over 200 black frames at the beginning! WHY?
It takes 25sek. until I see the first 3D Works...

Rotating Objects...I don't know. How about close ups?
How can I judge a Image Map if I only see a rotating object?
May show the 2D Image Maps.

So much turntables, that's boring after the first. How about some camera moves? :rolleyes:

The Reel is 1min and 48seks long. That's alot. I guess U can shrink it to under one minute. Aren't 45seks enough?

okay, that's all :p
Cya.

Not bad whatsoever. Though i think a little camera swinging to go with the turntable spinning would be nice =)
