Really cool animations! Don't know the optimal way to present animations, so can't really comment about that, but the reel had a nice flow without rushing too fast.

I loved the Massage animation made me laugh. Out of curiosity how many years experience do you have as an animator?

Dude....your reel made me laugh my ass off. Not that I'm making fun of you, but because it's genuinely hilarious, and very well done. =]

I don't feel that the first skit is your best piece; however, it is good. If I were you, I'd have the chiropractor skit be first and foremost, to make sure you garner / grab as much attention as possible right away from whoever is viewing your reel.

Archanex

Glad you found it entertaining tristamus, thanks for your feedback as well. The chiropractor is definitely the oldest piece on the reel, so I've been trying to come up with something better to replace it, it's proven challenging
