some really nice stuff! you're especially good at walk/run cycles. however, i would recommend cutting down your showreel to a minute or less however, as potential employers will probably not want to sit through 4 and a half minutes. I'd also put your very best shot that you are proudest of right at the beginning, and your second favourite shot at the end, will be more memorable that way.
I have been planning on doing an animated series but I don't think I can do it all in photoshop, and I don't know how 2 use flash player. Did u take animation classes? And if so I don't think my school has animating classes...any suggestions?
My Dragon Griffin Chimera animation was done entirely in GIMP (Photoshop-like software but free) MonkeyJam and Movie maker. Have patience and the initiative to work with what you got and you can make anything. I personally dislike using Flash.
I didnt learn animation until i went to University. I dont think any schools offer animation classes at such an early stage. Look around my channel, i got some guides based on what i learnt when i was still studying.
wow awesome animations as all ways^^ but that dragon with the colord fire, that was the best^^ is it for a new animated video you are working on`? if so i cant wait to see it^^
awww thats to bad, i was really looking forwoard to see it conpleted or in some new awesome video of yours^^ oh well, i hope you wont throw it away tho^^
Indeed, though its not really a part of any specific story, I do want to touch it up ever so slightly, just clean it up and colour it as a random short clip of a fiery dragon scene =p
You have some good stuff but this reel is VERY long. You should make a shorter one (60-90 seconds) for employers with your best first and something memorable at the end.
I think maybe a panning background (possibly 5 point perspective) might have helped the final rotation scene. but i think this is a great demo reel :) where are you applying to?
Everywhere. If a company is looking for a bit of everything, i can link this, or if they're looking for something specific, i'll cut this up into something smaller =p
This is amazing. The Short with the unicorns were just beautifully done, even though it wan't completely done. Many of the clips look like they could make beautiful shorts. Keep doing what you do, Darkmane, obviously you have talent :D
Wow im so jally...how long did it take to draw like that ;o
