CharacteR AnimatioN ReeL - chekitout n commnt pls!!!

[aesir]

fantastic work!!! I loved the creature morphing in the first part, it was really cool to watch. All the 3d animations were top notch.

extremely cool! Love the 300 bit!

[nideep]

glad you two liked the reel...

[My Fault]

Lots of great stuff in the beginning, though I think it would be stronger if you cut out a good chunk. I'd probably rate it near a 5 for everything up to and including "There's a moment". Then the 2d cowboy short comes in and it is just not up to the same quality as the previous work. The "Is this your place" is good, but doesn't seem to have the same high level of polish as those first pieces. Everything after that seemed more like you wanted to show everything you have done and not necessarily the best of what you've done.

I don't want to sound harsh, but I think those later pieces are only hurting your reel. Those first few pieces are so, sooooo strong that you just don't need the rest.

BTW, any place we can see the entire Angrry Leo short? What was in your reel was fantastic!

[nideep]

you're right.....ya.......i included all of my work from 5 years back.......the latest are the first ones.....i think before sending it to any recruiters i'll crop it a li'l.
And the 'angry leo' short z a work in progress one....still workin on it....will show u soon ..thank u!

Brilliant reel!

One crit though, i think the font type at the end is really difficult to read.
I really love the music, whats the name of that music?

[nideep]

The music is by the band Ratatat........i love their music......its actually Loud pipes and Lex by Ratatat......u should hear their remixes tooo....its awesome! :)

Hey can you try and upload the showreel to another site as it says for my connection it will take a day to download? What is that - I think there could be a problem

[Animator-K]

nice work,very nice

[Konarovic]

I like so much what you did. The character animation is... wonderfull. The movies caricatures are very great.

[animationmonster777]

Thanks for the youtube link. Really good character animation, agree with the comments about the 2D stuff but otherwise really good.

[shashhh]

hey great show dude.....i liked the 3d part more than the 2d part.....that doesnt mean that its bad...its good but the 3d animation is just better..... :) specially the acting portion....thats really well observed and well done.....

cheers

Very nice reel.

I do think that you could get away with taking off some of your less stronger pieces, as well as the images at the end. That killed it for me. Everything was in motion and then the drawings were thrown at me quite randomly. If you're aiming to be a character animator, then that's all you need to have on your reel. If you really want to include those drawings or anything else you should have a separate area on the DVD to where the audience can just view those. If you start things in motion you end it with motion. It keeps the momentum going and doesn't make people do this ---> o_O?

You also always want to open up with your strongest piece. The Spiderman was cool, but I don't think it was your strongest. You want to captivate the audience as soon as it starts. Other then that I really enjoyed it. I wish I could animate. I'm more of a modeler.

@Shuggs

thanx for your comments mann....ya you're right about ending it animated....i think i'll do some animated clip for the end part...and avoid unneccesary length of the 2d clip now....and i think instead of keeping the strong pieces first and gradually coming less stronger..i like it the way: strong>stronger>less strong>lesser>strong>....like that, so the 'graph' will be high>low>high>low......instead of the quality steadily decreasing

i've already started editing the reel to make it short...will show u then.
