First Reel...What do you think?

Hi there,
I think you should put your last work (the 2D guy animation and the pixilation) on the very begining of your reel as it's for me your best work. Keep in mind that you should ALWAYS put your best work on the begining of the showreel. Because people usually don't spend much time to look at all the reals they could receive each day, so they stop watching after 1min or event 30sec if they're not convinced with your first work.
That said, you should not try to make some kind of strange/unreadable text effects on your name/contact informations. You should really really keep it simple. Choose a nice font like Helvetica Neue, chaumont or anything else. People who don't have a lot of work to show are very often trying to make a lot of different strange effects. People don't really care about that. They just want to see your "reel" works. And don't worry if you don't have a lot of different stuff to show at the begining. You could have just one work to show, if this is a good work, it could be enough.
Anyway this is just my own opinion so it might be different for other people. But i usually intent to simplify as much as possible.
There is some very good advices that you can find on the pixar website :

I really hope that could help you.
Good luck !
