Hey, nice stuff you have there. I would try to edit the whole thing a little tighter. You have a few shots where you freeze on the last frame for a second. It should never freeze, just cut into the next clip. Also, I feel like the piece with the blue lowman and purple woman is probably your weakest and could be omited if you want. I like the way the first couple of clips really lead your eye onto the next clip. They cut nicely. Good job.

I like the neat and tidy look of alot of it, but you've got a few small compositional issues. In a few of your shots, the character's legs/feet are completely off camera and out of screen. Usually you should either have the character completely on screen or off. Also, the shot where the character jumps over the railing, the perspective is causing a slightly weird effect, you may want to tweak the camera angle there. Think of the silhouette.

Good job! Though I agree with LiannaS the camera doesn't do you justice.
About the piece with the mustached woman, I also think it needs more love, but it was one of the scenes that really made me laugh, so .. if you could work on that a bit..

Overall the reel was good, but you need a little bit more work, especially at understanding balance it seems. I'm not so good at animating so my comments should stop here:P

oh, and the devil scene was simply hilarious! I loved it, I vote for it to be in the first!
