    Default Student Reel


    I am a graduating student from an animation college in Cape Town, South Africa. As part of our final year curriculum we have to put together a demo reel of 1 - 2 mins in length. I would really appreciate it if any one could spare the time to take a look at my reel and give me some constructive criticism, you can view it at:

    Thank you so much,

    Kelly

      Looks very nice, what did you do exactly on that reel??? Because everything looks great to me. The background, in the granary, the illumination is awesome, the modelling looks very good too, but maybe, the guy animation needs more work but, hey.... you'll get there for sure

      Cheers

        Default Thank you


        There is a break down at the bottom of each shot in my reel listing what aspects I was responisble for, but in a nutshell the modeling, unwrapping and texturing of the head and full body models, the enivironment texturing of the barn, cliff and desert shots and the texturing of the ginger haired character, but not his modeling, all hair/fur, and the barn explosion and dust effects. I worked on the "look and feel" aspects of the short that's featured in my reel. Thank you so much for your feedback it was really nice to get a response.

                Looks really good, the montage is good and the music goes really well with it. I feel that the 2D stuff is a bit weak compared to the 3D stuff wich is really good level. I would either put up some better 2D or just dump it and leave it all 3D wich is amazing!!

                      Wow, really nice, impressive reel. I'd watch that film. I think you've done very well.
                      Good luck.
