Sketchbook: maiaemille

Hi! My name's Mayya E. Benítez, I started as a 3d Artist in 2011. Later I realized that my passion was in 3d animation. Time for practice and polishing my skills has been difficult since I worked and studied full time. Now that I've finished my Master's Degree I can focus more on bettering myself in this medium. I'll use this sketchbook to keep track of my progress and get feedback on personal works and exercises.

Here's my current 3D Animator Demo reel. Critiques are welcome.

Exercise 01 - No Decay Bouncing Ball

Exercise 02 - Bouncing Ball

Nice demo reel, 
if i had to say something, I'd say the three clips in the middle. (starting at the 17 second mark, and ending at the 25 second mark ) either need to be removed, or you need to show an interesting animation on those parts. I might also suggest figuring out a different way to present those animations, the look kind of bland right now. Otherwise, I really like your walks and runs, and the clips of your animations in game. 

as for your exercise.
the second one needs more Bounce and stretch IMO. Seems a little staticky at this time. Hopefully a way more qualified animator will weigh in haha.
