Animation Portfolio Feedback & Critique
Hi All! [This my first time posting here, if I'm in the wrong place etc, just point me in the right direction so I'm not covering old topics] Bit of Background: I've recently just finished my degree in Computer Games Modelling and Animation, like many others I'm looking to get involved in studio work to begin building… -
Re: Animation Portfolio Feedback & Critique
Quick Update! Hi all I thought I would post this as a reply rather than starting a new thread. I have took the feedback both Anthony and Einar provided and produced a new showreel. Before I go ahead and modify my site to accommodate this I would like some feedback on the latest version if possible? I have made this reel… -
Re: Animation Portfolio Feedback & Critique
The section 0:24-0:48 can be removed if you're focusing on animation. Yes there are parts being animated, but it's not necessarily showing animation as a skill. I'd still say that part is more focused on modeling. As with what @tholmes3d was saying, you only need to show multiple angles if it benefits the shot. A simple… -

Hey, welcome! You have some cool stuff and your instincts are correct. If I click a link to your site I want your reel right there ready to go. The reel should be 1:00-1:30 at most focusing only on animation (if that's your specialty). In game stuff is OK, but you want the viewer to be able to see the animation clearly and… -

Thanks Einar! I'll have a look at the link you provided, condensing the portfolio to tighten the focus on animations, and having them directly accessible appears to be the general consensus. Many Thanks! -

I think what Anthony is saying is that usually a 3/4 perspective view will show all that's needed about the animation, so unless there's something that can only be seen from a different angle, they aren't necessary. A 3/4 view just means the camera is viewing from a 45 degree angle in front of the character, aka halfway… -

Adding to Anthony here and he's completely correct. Especially on finding your reel, having to look for it is a huge mistake, make it center easy to find right out of the box. This vimeo group has many examples of how to do demo reels: https://vimeo.com/groups/gameanim Look through many of them to get a gist of what… -
Re: Animation Portfolio Feedback & Critique
Thank you for the feedback Tholmes! I'll have a look into presenting the animations in this style! Appreciate the reply! -
Re: Animation Portfolio Feedback & Critique
Hi Anthony Many thanks for the additional input! I understand where your coming from with the mechanical rigging and this time would probably be better served dedicated to more organic movements. As for producing this 3/4 perspective that both you and Tholmes have mentioned, are you familiar with the process or could… -
