Hi everyone, and Happy New Year!
all best wishes and a great, full of accomplishments 2009!

Coming back to my topic, I've just put together a new animation reel which I hope can help me getting a job in TV/Film, as I am planning to send it out to a few studios, in my attempts to get a new job. I would very much like your opinions on it, if it is good enough or not, or if you feel that something should be changed, if it's too boring, etc. Anything at all would help!

here is the link to it:

I hope you like it, I'm looking forward for your thoughts!
Thank you very much!

Sweet reel man! I really liked the Mike shot in the beginning, great placement of that one. I kept interested all the way through and the animation is really nice looking. Awesome reel.

the genie stuff - PURE ANIMATION , acting etc!!!. maybe take out the donald, goffy parts...or shorten them out! But i would erase the mike walk cycle for sure, i mean seeing evrything else, i have no doubt that you can do a walk cycle...i think you're passed that:)
just my opinion!

cheers!

i agree with the above - great reel and no need for the walk cycle. perhaps you put it in to illustrate you can move characters from point A to B, as most of your other work in here is stationary. if you're willing to move, i hear blue sky is hiring.
