I was referred to this site by a friend. I am working on my animation demo reel and could use some critiques on it if anyone is willing. I am job hunting at the moment but figured that I might as well make my reel better while I hunt around. My website is
glassanimation.com. Any notes would be helpful, thanks a lot.

Pretty good demo reel, though I'm not digging the whole gray background throughout the whole thing.
What really stood out for me was the second scene but I felt it ended a bit early. I really wanted to see him throw a punch in there.
The walk cycle part is a bit long.
Keep up the good work.
The content of your portfolio looks pretty good. The flash may cause issues for some people though, especially when playing the individual clips. Overall though looks pretty good.
I'm not an animator, but my first impression was that the "You want me to come over there" is your strongest scene. Unfortunately, it cuts short. The next best is the "Look stupid in front of the other guests" scene. I found the television scene dull and too long.
My only crit for the portfolio is maybe work on some more refined drawings for your sketches section to replace some of the less detailed ones you already have up.
Of course, animation isn't my focus and I have no portfolio of my own, so take that with a grain of salt.
Nice work
Good to see another animator on here
