   So far, it's a good reel. If you really want to showcase your animation skills and make your reel stand out a little bit more, I'd say go for more ambitious action stuff, try and do action scenes. They can showcase your animation skills and may jump at the person who is considering you as an animator for a studio. Make…

   https://syncsketch.com/sketch/ecaa3589764f/ What are your thoughts on it? Can I use it like this for now or are there some animations I should definitely polish a bit more or remove? I´m happy to hear your feedback :)

   I'm glad to see you continue pushing on this. First Shot: The main action here feels good. The ending is the weakest part for me because of how the momentum seems to stop. A common issue with animation is when you can see that it looks like the animator didn't feel like doing the work of having small foot steps and weight…

   This feels like a better version of your reel. I'd be interested to see a version that goes map, waitress walk, quadruped walk, wheel. I don't feel that the quadruped walk is one of your stronger pieces so I wouldn't finish with it. it's nice to see you tackling different types on animation, but the timing on the feet…

   I think it's quite decent :) I think I could probably push it further by really retouching the animations but I think I will just keep it like this for now and work on new stuff

   Unless going for that specific area keep your NSFW animations out of your reel. This is a very particular area very rarely suited to the jobs you will be going for. The diner lady's walk isn't actually bad at all but remove the nude version. With some tweaking of timings the quadruped walk cycle could also be a solid…

   That looks better to me. What do you think of your reel at this point? And do you plan to keep working on any of these pieces, or start new ones?

   Edit: The linked video is no longer the Mar 13 version, it´s a new version of the reel since I just updated the video on myvideo instead of uploading a new reel to myvideo each time. Thanks tholmes3d! I changed the order like you suggested: https://vimeo.com/315133280

    Thank you for the tips! I will try to learn from other reels. I actually worked on a body mechanics shot since finishing my reel cause as you mentioned that is something currently missing in my reel. I´m creating a new post for the body mechanics shot but here is the syncsketch link so you don´t have to search the new post…
