Showreel First Draft

Responding to what I learned during the last showreel session, I have now produced a draft of my own animation showreel. As I mentioned in my last post, I wanted to ensure that my showreel was both as short as possible while still showcasing my best work and that I featured my best work at the beginning of the video, and the end of the video. I considered this during the production of my showreel and was very pleased with the results.

During this week's session we were tasked with presenting our showreel to the rest of the class for feedback. My showreel was generally well received, with one minor criticism - the 3D segment let's the showreel down. For my completed showreel, I intend to remove this segment and replace it with footage from my third year final animation. Expanding on this point, I feel that this piece should also be removed given that I would prefer to be represented as a traditional animator with skills in digital animation, rather than to be perceived as a wholly 3D animator - as this piece suggests.
