Started reworking my Demo Reel as my current position started drawing to a close. I wanted to show a few select pieces from my demo reel and get some critiques on them.

Troll Attack (http://www.jeffreynbaker.com/blog/?p=159)

Troll Run (http://www.jeffreynbaker.com/blog/?p=152)

Geek Run (http://www.jeffreynbaker.com/blog/?p=169)

I'm trying to really hone my Character Animation skills for video game production and I'm currently looking for work with any studio that has a position open for Character Animation. My full demo reel can be seen on the front page of my website www.jeffreynbaker.com

Thanks guys, and I look forward to being a part of this great community.

the gorilla run might do you better if you call it a walk. his movements arent reading big enough for a run. try flexing his back more, and giving his torso more up and down movement. make him feel like hes covering more ground.

for the attack, there is allot of twinning going on. his arms and feet both move at the same time. try offsetting them and playing with the weight a little more. his torso movement is pretty nice.

and, in all the anims, there is IK locking. watch the knees and elbows.

the geek walk is your best work, and reads nicely. keep it up!
