[WolfySnackrib666]

If I could I would hug you for your wonderful talent.

[sarojbaniya]

very nice work

[animatedfella]

really great work. I like your works... got lot of inspiration....!

[ILLRICARDO]

wow amazing!!cool demo reel, for how long were you doing animation?? where would be a good place to start learning 3d animation??

[tek23ken]

I love your work looks phenomenal. Are u currently working in the industry? If so where at, if you don't mind me asking? I am currently employed at with Millennium Studios at World Wide FX in Shreveport, Louisiana. I was just doing a little networking today when i ran across your demo , and wanted to let you know that I will be sharing your great work with others within my network. I will send them a LINK to your demo reel and see what they think. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did.

[SuperFriendlySam]

Awesome reel by the way!!!

[SuperFriendlySam]

Where did you get that Dr Evil dialogue from?? I would really like to use that in my demo reel.

[orangeheart73]

Hey CupofPhenol, thanks very much. To be honest it was good timing, and a former co-worker happened to be working at the gaming company where I applied, and he put in a good word for me. I had an interview and that went really well, and I accepted their job offer. It has been a very steep learning curve as games are much more technical compared to feature films or tv, but it has been very rewarding. Our new game "Darkness 2" was just announced last week.

[CupofPhenol]

Hi Scott, I like your reel, especially the shot with the dr.evil dialogue, and bit where the squirrel is wiping his body and arms. I've been animating on various television series for the past 4 years or so. I'd love nothing more than to get into games.. How did you break into that part of the business?

[kyrakyramyra]

The Koala reminds me of Eddie Izzard.

[Greatdictator]

may i be inclined to know which animated movies these clips be from ?

[orangeheart73]

@Greatdictator This is work from The Wild, Everyone's Hero, a short film called Surly Squirrel, and some personal animation tests.

[jbristol75]

I would like you to bid on my project?

[djfernando1]

[13RevengeIsSweet]

how often do you have to make demo reels and did you actually do all of these or was it you and a team of people ?

[janorre]

damn!!! now I' more inspired to become an animator!!! hope my dad is ok about that.... Hope I could work with you someday XD!!! It would be an honor!!!

[mandar3d]

good work buddy

[Biohazard931]

Brilliant and inspirational work, my friend.

You've been blessed by the Nine Old Men =]

I love each and everyone one of these acting shots.

I love the anticipation at the end with the Cow.

[Biohazard931]

You've been blessed by the Nine Old Men =]

I love each and everyone one of these acting shots.

I love the anticipation at the end with the Cow.

Would you say you use Maya more then Max? To me, it kind of seems Maya is for Film and Max is used more for Games.

Again, brilliant work.

[TheNabsta]

That's amazing.

[andollio1337]

hahaha the cow at the end made me laugh so hard!

[nikhilattri28]

wowwww....i have seen this before...bt i came to meet the person who worked in this movie....very very kool

[Shisafire]

[jkljkl218]

[atikashami1]

ur a superb animator i wish i could b like u im becholars in media sience and ma major is animation so i want to b an anaimtor good one u know

[aramlakh]

nice....demo.....

[boneheadyo50]

Doing some reference research on line and came a crossed the great cow animation at the end of your reel! I just got to say, you really captured the perfect moment and feel of the cow in that short couple seconds. The mellow facial expression with the random twitching ear cracks me up! Reminds me of all the cows I see when I get a chance to go back home for a day or two... Before I started animation school and stopped sleeping 7 hours a night like regular people. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Leto85]

Wow, this looks really good. Especially if you take a look at the details. Al those little moves in a face of a animation (and I don't mean face like faces and vertices) that makes the whole thing look even better. It's all in the details.

[lukekelly79]

Ahh, cool cool, looking forward to it. I'm senior anim at Crytek on Crysis 2. Enjoying the cold cold weather here in Frankfurt!

[lukekelly79]

Very nice showreel, how long have you been animating?

Regards, Luke.

[orangeheart73]

Thanks Luke, I've been animating almost 12 years, and have spent the last year and a bit working in video games. Just finished up work on Bioshock 2.

[phillyeagles95]

how much do you get paid? im only 14 and considering to become a video game animator

[jennbug23]

I F -ING love this , this is what I want to do. So much better than mdagascar and is that with the fox whats his name from waynes world Im so retarded. But this is my career choice what school did you go to please? I want to be as good as you! thanks Jenn

[wuzzywu]

[korken21]

are you saying you was one of the creators of madagascar ?

[TheStickyanimations]

[TheStickyanimations]

[AcuAwaGomu]

[spiritwithinable]

[creeper901]

[kingkuangdiddy]

[JLP228]

madagascar what

[RSquirrelProduction]

this is far better than madagascar

[TheFrenziedPenguin]

Wow great work, its a good example of how animations should be done. :)

[dapshere]

love the cow! :D

[Poever]

They may hate 'The Wild', and they may hate 'Everyone's Hero', but animators are people too.

[SpaceCarnivora]

Great job man

[iSOBigD]

Top knotch, man. Definitely on par with what the big boys do.

[Jesscgraff]

I'm almost 100% sure if you send this to Pixar they will hire you, even if they aren't currently hiring. Fantastic stuff!

[Trunte141196]

hich piece of the film have YOU done?

[JakeRyanFilms]

Wow one day you could work for pixar

[goatburgler]

Excellent work!

[peague]

wow man, I remember seeing your short way back in 2005 in the SIGGRAPH animation theatre. It was my favorite among the entries shown. Not surprising to see you having done work for Disney.  Nice work!

[Leo82080]

really good

[Cameomann]

wow nice work!!

[andygibson]

nice one.

[bolumovies]

you are a fuckin genious

[SpaceCarnivora]

its "genius" genious

[geekgeneration]

is this really your demo reel, case this is from the movie 'the wild'

[orangeheart73]

Yes it is really my demo reel, and yes it is from The Wild. I worked on The Wild for two years and these are some of the shots I animated for that film.

[geekgeneration]

nice work. I can only hope to be half as good as this. I start my diploma in animation and digital video later this year. This kind of work is really inspiring. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

[EddieMyles]

Great work, you could really work for Pixar or Disney one day.

[chocolatezorro]

Great work man!

[sexyslimshady]

damn good reel.....i'm impressed!!

[HazelDreamer]

Wait, did your word turn into "The Wild" and "Everyone's Hero"? I know I recognize that stuff from the dvds. You're the creator?!

[MournfulDemon]

him and a bunch of people

[jimboslutstien]

Mind if I ask where you studied?

[orangeheart73]

Hey, I didn't take a formal animation program, just learned on the job after taking a software training program at Seneca College.

[juliehood]

This is top quality. What software did you use? 3d studio max ?

[CronusLord]

Wow, man, this is incredible. Did you model these AND animate them? Pixar would KILL to have you, man! Do you have AIM or anything? I'm an animation major, and I'd sorta like to pick your brain. lol

[orangeheart73]

Thanks! I only did the animation on this reel. Sorry, but I'm not on AIM.

[CronusLord]

Even still, man, the animation is killer. That attention to subtle detail is incredible. Very powerful emotion. Do you have a website, or something?

[orangeheart73]

I don't have a website, but maybe sometime down the road I'll make one when I can find the time. Thanks again!

[jonnyman21]

hey man this is pretty good what software did u use??? and lol hahhaha that that fox talking sounded like dr. evil

[artisanfx]

really cool work :)

[Utubeblows]

Great work! I have an erection!

[tarunsharma29]

hey, Nice reel! I've seen your reel before and wondered about the characters after the mike myers scene?

[orangeheart73]

Thanks very much! They are from a short film called Surly Squirrel which is also on Youtube if you want to see it.

[swiftgunner]

I'm not very fond of 3D animation myself. But your work has GREAT style to it. I mean wow!

[artimus29]

what is the name of this animation movie? thx people...great job \m/

[spitandspite]

WOW. Great Stuff. I'd lose that unrendered shot, not really as strong as you're other stuff and it's right at the beginning of your reel. Your stuff is great, i love that squirrel shot with the bridgette line. And that basesball fat dude is GREAT! I'd lost that walking shot aswell. other then that, super awesome!

[orangeheart73]

Hey Man,

Thanks very much for the critique! I agree with your comments and finally (after almost 2 years...) I'll be able to add some new stuff to my reel in the next few months after the NDA's run out on projects I've been working on.

Your reel is fantastic as well! Great work!

[DTVWCHANNEL]

What programme do you use

[Alec013]

wow ur soo good! i just started learning 3d animation. oh and you only animated it right? coz usually the animators only do.. the animation. then theres the modelers, who also rig the models, and im not sure who but somebody else adds the shaders and textures, oh and the fur and hair to make the model more realistic.

[mysticanimation22]

Modelers don't have to do rigging but it's a plus to do both. There is a position for riggers. I to am an animator and I have learned a little modeling, and rigging in school but I don't specialize in it because it's not what I want to do. But you're right, there is a person to do modeling, rigging, animation, textures, etc. It keeps to project moving faster. Check out my work and tell me what you think!

[Skrewtinizer]

Wonderful stuff man, mucho hard work!

[dennixtreme]

the characters could've been better, with metter textures and with the hair and fur modifier from max but the animation is the best, you could be a great animator

[badboyviper]

ooo i like ur work... animation is top notch, very good at showing emotion!! would b nice if u could crit some of my stuff =D

[nickthe484]

Nice body of work. Great at animating characters. One pointer, the cow could use some weight when it walks off but other than that pretty good.

[lNllClK]

i think he intended for the cow to move in that way. it has good weight in the head at the beginning so i'm sure he knows this principle...

[newsupermichal]

it´not your...it´s from animation movie!!

[orangeheart73]

Yes some of these shots are from a movie. And I animated those shots.  So what's the problem?

[Gamerz22]

The problem is people that can't put two and two together :P You apparently were an animator for the movie.

[jasonstolk]

dude your fucking great really really great your an inspiration.

can you advise a good animation school to me :D

[alexandergre]

What program did you use to animate the charachters? 3ds max or maya?

I guess its maya. am I right?

[orangeheart73]

Thanks, it's animated in Houdini, Maya and 3D Max, depending on the project.

[alexandergre]

man you can work in disney. congrats.

[robthewiz]

hahaha surly squirrel i was doing a high school co-op @ dkp when they were making that, good stuff

[mysticanimation22]

Man that's some nice work! Great poses and suttle movements. Question for ya, what is the name of that short film at 1:25? I saw it once before and I like to see it again.

[raymanwhat]

Great stuff. i love all the little gestures you put in there, like scratching a nose or subtle eyebrow movements. I'm just starting off myself, any advice?

[ryand76]

Olease make me happy and say that you have been working in the field for some time...Please tell me you are not right out of school...

[orangeheart73]

Ha! No, I've been doing this for a while. Thanks though.

[seart911]

Hey just got a question for you....did you get a job....that involves working with computer animation...i know Pixar is impossible to get in...but any other?

[redmoonfilms]

Scott,

This is the best Animation reel I have seen!

Your style is humorous and entertaining.

I hope we could work together some time in the future.

- Fergus.

[CollegeJoe]

dude, i love the austin powers skit. Greatly done. Btw, soon to be graduate animation student here. I hope to do more on my demo and more lip syncing. Check my vids for my current demo, that i'm working on. Thx!

[dracao]

Can u tell what software was used? Your work is really great!

[orangeheart73]

Thanks very much! The shots from The Wild were done with Houdini, Everyone's Hero and the squirrels were done in Maya, and the cow at the end was 3D Max.

[Garfler]

is houdini as good as maya? if soo in which ways?

[ginbim]

I loved it! Wow those rigging works rock! Great teamwork!

[orangeheart73]

I've done all the character animation, but not the modeling, lighting, or rigging.

[Toxict2]

very nice

[YPBALLER17]

sooo freaking good man...i can only wish to be that good...hey whats that baseball kid movie called?? thx

[orangeheart73]

That one was called Everyone's Hero. Thanks for the kind words!

[frankinho10]

hey orange heart this is awesome stuff, did u animate on all of the scenes in this reel?

[orangeheart73]

Thanks very much, yes, I did all the character animation.

[aaroncmt]

Great animation, man. Do you work for Disney?

[orangeheart73]

Hey aaroncmt, thanks very much! I don't work for Disney, but I did animate on The Wild at Core Feature Animation. Disney contracted Core to make The Wild.

[renegade5005]

wow this reel is GREAT! I gave up on animation completely after seeing this. It's TOO GOOD!

[alexandergre]

me too! :(

[feckinstudent]

:) good acting. I really think you have to drop the annoying music and make the voices much louder but that's a showreel thing, the animation's great.

[navapalm]

Hi there!

Men what a nice demo reel you got there!

all the stars for you!

All the best!

[orangeheart73]

Thanks Pablo! I really appreciate the kind words! Your work is great!

[navapalm]

Hi it's Pablo Navarro here!

What a nice work you have here!

Congratulations, you are inspiring too!

All the best!

[fwad20002000]

Wow Cool stuff nowi know what to shoot for by the time i finnish school

[eggnogs]

[harmonic01]

Awesome reel!!! :D LOL, I love the cow at the end!!! :D

[Abbruzzesi]

So after watching your demo reel I can't help but wonder...did u just laugh when you saw mine? haha, what studio are you working for now?

[orangeheart73]

Hey! The juggling was really good, and picking up the guy on the ground showed good weight. I cringe to see my first reel....Keep it up!

I'm at a studio called Spin working on a big monster movie called Outlander.

[jpanim8r]

Talk about a good reel, 5 stars from me!
