Demo Reels

Good Demo Reels

The EQAL demo reel has great impact right from the start of the video. I think this demo reel is a great one because of its easy to follow transitions. They use color, motion, and environments to transition to other parts of their demo reel which I think helps with both timing and pace for the viewer. They also tied the beginning and ending with each other which is always a good thing to do.

I loved this demo reel because its gets right into the viewers face about what the artist is able to create. The Demo reel is well polished and shows a lot of all sides of 3d animation such as character animation, background development, and special effects.

I love the intro to this demo reel it shows great impact in both animation and graphic design. I shows what the animator is capable of with great pacing. I love the graphic design animation he shows that he can get someone's else's label or design out there with a his own twist

I don't care for the beginning of this demo with the artist stating a simple fact however I enjoy some of his animations. I think he is showing to much of other things when the main focus should be on the animation or film. 


The animation in this demo reel I feel is made well however for a demo reel I feel like the pacing is a bit off with the cuts to other things. I wish I could also have some sound with in his demo reel to go along with the animation also when we get to the video game part of the demo reel  I feel like it lasts to long.



The animation of this demo reel I feel is a little simple almost to much like regular school work. I need some individual maybe special projects to spice up the demo reel a bit. I enjoy that he shows his process however it proves that he is able to produce his animation almost like proof.
