Re: [Portfolio] - Nicholas McBride - Animator needing critique please.
+1 to MoP's comments about forced music on sites. I will add that, a lot of people who review animation reels don't even hit play. They load up a few and scrub through them quickly, if they see something they like they will watch it. If there's something they think they need to hear they'll put on the headphones. Since I… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Nicholas McBride - Animator needing critique please.
[edit] NM I jumped too fast. Your portfolio is very scattered which is expected, I went through that phase too as a student. I'd say take the photography and drawing sections out. If you want to be an animator, I think the only sketches that should be in there are poses you're placing onto paper before you animate them.… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Nicholas McBride - Animator needing critique please.
You've got some good stuff there - I like your animation reel, the movement is pretty fluid and has a nice bounciness to it. I'm not an animator myself, but I can usually tell poor animation, and yours isn't that :) One thing about the mixed cut anim reel, the troll jumping down right at the start after the Think Tank logo… -
[Portfolio] - Nicholas McBride - Animator needing critique please.
Hello fellow CG junkies! My name is Nicholas McBride and I have recently joined the Polycount ranks in hopes of becoming a better artist. It would do me a great service if I could have my portfolio critiqued. My reel is focused primarily on animation. However, the reel does contain a character that I modeled, sculpted,… -

My friend Archanexx is a member here on PC and is an animator so I'm going to shoot you his site as an example. It's clean, it's easy to navigate, it has all the stuff you *need* to see at the top and if you feel curious a bit more towards the bottom. http://smootharcs.com/ P.S. That's me posing in the red hat xD -

Re: [Portfolio] - Nicholas McBride - Animator needing critique please.
Awesome, thanks for the straight feed back guys it is a tremendous help. I see what you guys are saying, it looks less like a job resume and more like a blog / art dump. I will make the site more focused on the reel and not so much a bunch or random works and what not. @Zilk - Thanks for all the suggestions and reference… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Nicholas McBride - Animator needing critique please.
Well, I plan on re-cutting my demo reel with better music and hopefully some new work after I get my site in order. Until I then which version of my Reel should I use? I have 2 different cuts, the "alternate version" has more acceptable music, but I am not sure that the way it is put together is as good as the version with… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Nicholas McBride - Animator needing critique please.
I got the impression it was a blog and not a portfolio and skipped over the reel posted on the first page and went hunting for the real deal. Only I found the reel of what you cut out... I don't know if other people would make that mistake but given Zilk's comments I think you might need to rethink the amount of text and… -
