Got a reel? Pls post!

dabu

Hey Guys,

Ive been teaching at AAU in downtown SF for the past 9 months. One of my classes is about creation of a demo reel for getting a job in the art side of the industry. I'd love to show my students some examples, so if you're feeling generous, please post a reel.

cheers n thanks,

dabu

Well, dunno if my reel is what your looking for, but it surely got me a job. Feel free to use it. http://www.mitchart.com/reel.html

If you need a downloadable version I can throw one up.

Tons here, http://www.youtube.com/user/VancouverFilmSchool

Hah. I think my old reel would be better off posted in the "Post your worst model you used to be proud of" thread.

dabu

Actually, that would be great. I'd love to show some stuff where I can say "don't do this"

Thanks so far!

Don't know how legit this thing is nowadays but it got me my first job in the industry so I guess it worked.

Having not updated my reel in over three years, I'm a little wary to post it but I feel it's still a fairly good example of a out-of-school reel.

I fixed the link, I'll throw up a downloadable version for ya this weekend though.

Rwolf: Your reel made me angry. Guh... Normally it'd be considered a little slow, but your modeling is so godlike you hardly even notice. Good music, too. Love the tiger dude at the end.

dabu: I've seen some good animation reels on google video, specifically one by a fellow named Jim Jagger (I think that's his name). Being an animators as he is, he has a good sense of timing, something you ought to mention to your students.

dabu

You talkin' about Jim Jagger? I have one of his, but I will look for others. Good stuff from him.

Will, liked your music. If you would like some feedback, let me know.

cheers

Dunno if it's what you're looking for as I put this together to apply to visual effects houses, so no game models in it and was basically thrown together over a weekend hehe.

here's mine from when I got out of school in 05.
http://www.studiosojourn.com/anim/reel05web.mov Didn't get me any jobs

I could give you a "Don't do this" reel, but it isn't mine

nothing i'm too incredibly proud of anymore though..

if you go to youtube, and search for VFS, you can find some reels that are pretty decent.

animatr

cool stuff john warner and rwolf!

looks like VFS really pumps out quality. though i guess you get out of it what you put into it.

Here's my horribly outdated, exit-from-school reel. It was not enough to get me a game art job, but it was enough to get me attention, and on a couple of occasions, art tests.

Unless you were an animator, web portfolios seem a more standard way to gain attention in the game art world

Well here is my, also putdated, demoreel from may last year.
but it gave me quite a lot job offers and freelance work, so maybe it'll help
