Demo Reel Reviews

  
This was a very well done demo reel, in my opinion. This was the most helpful one for me because it is strictly a 2D character animation reel. The artist puts on display a variety of skills that many studios look for in their applicants. The structure of the piece is pretty good but I still found some issues with it. One of the things that bothered me was the editing of the reel. The artist would make awkward cuts to the characters talking in the middle of the dialogue, as well as cutting from the action abruptly. Other than that I think it was pretty solid.


This was another strong demo reel as well. The intro was very well done, and the music was very fitting. The reel showed the artist's wide range of animation skills and understanding of the 12 principles of animation. I think that the time should be cut down as it goes on a little too long.

This particular demo reel shows the artist's range of skill but the structure is a little weak. Some scenes I think goes on too long, particularly at the beginning. Also, the artist should have put some of his or her sketches throughout the piece to balance all of the animation.

        
This reel was ok. It had a lot of funny moments in it, which is a strong ability to have. Just needs to shorten the beginning of the reel.

  
This demo is a example of how not to do a demo reel. No personal information was given in the beginning nor the end, some shots go on too long, and overall is boring.
   
    
Nothing much to say about this demo. It is not so much of a demo, but I found it pretty entertaining.
