Hey everybody! My name is Sam Baker, and I'm about to graduate from Ex'pression College for Digital Art. I figured I'd see what you guys thought of my demo reel. Please let me know if you think anything is dragging it down or could be improved upon. Thanks! :D

Thanks man! Again, this is my first reel, so there will be improvements to come. I just thought I might as well send it out and see if a company bites. Of course, with the approval of cgtalk :D

Good stuff, really like the intro, made me laugh, although the beast could have reacted a little more to the hit by really flailing out his arms some more. well done

Hey Sam. Yeah i agree, the ninja stuff was the best work i think. The bit with the wolves and the mantis guy could use a lot more weight and snappier timing. The shot of the mantis guy crawling form underneath the tree was pretty cool, very Pan's Labrynth'ish. Keep it up! :bounce:
