showreel 2014

Updated with vimeo link also for those that cannot see the YouTube one

There's no video there.

Sorting it, copyright issue as I used music from iron man 3.
Thanks for the heads up.

Updated the link, that should work.

Nice work, you can push a little bit more to make it even better.

I'm always open to suggestions, any help is greatly appreciated on the critique front.

It seems you have done a lot of work but didn't gave enough attention for each...
In the first scene, the camera is kind of oscillating in random directions. It can be achieved in different ways rather than animating them manually. Try improving your texturing skills, it is always good to create or paint texture in Photoshop to increase the level of details. Don't simply slap an image on to each objects, add some weathering and stuffs in Photoshop and then apply it.
Your reel is mostly with camera oriented stuffs, that means you have to stage your scene and the camera to get believable feel. It is not simply covering everything we modeled or whatever in camera. Search for golden mean and rule of thirds in Youtube or Google. Also avoid unnecessary flares and effects.
Include much more details in your reel other than your name and email Id. Like which Softwares you used. Show your name and details in the beginning of your reel, and Softwares and workflow in the end.
It is clear that you have been working a lot in 3d but work wisely to improve yourself.
Good luck!

Thank you for your critique I will surely take on board your comments.

With some of the work I did put here it was done to very tight deadlines btw and mainly to run in game engines so I did cut a few corners, the reel was mainly to put together the best bits of what I worked on these past few years.

I'll make sure I add this in to the future reels.

Software used;
3ds Max
Mudbox
PhotoShop
After Effects
Adobe Première

Cheers and Good luck!
