This is my demo reel as of August 16th, 2010. As always, I can’t wait to learn something new and make better work to replace the stuff already on there. It runs about 2 minutes and all of the work on it is my own. I give a short breakdown of how I did each piece in my reel guide which you can view right here.

Here are some random clips in their entirety from my reel, all my videos can be found on my Vimeo page.

Here’s some other clips I made that didn’t fit on my reel:

I added a few clips to my reel. I also picked a less obnoxious music track. Watch it and get your funk on.

So let’s see if I still remember how to work this blog thingy.

Here is my updated reel. I removed some car commercial junk that wasn’t going to impress anyone. I added my comic book spot that still hasn’t been on TV and won’t ever be, unless somebody wants me to freelance it for them.

I’ve got an After Effects tutorial idea in the works, but I’m procrastinating on it because things outside of working on computers all day have kept me happily occupied.

I’d like to add a new song to my demo reel instead of some cheesy number I whipped up in Garageband. Let me know if you know someone who would let me use their music for my reel, if I think it works with my stuff I’ll give the proper credit and all that.

I think music really goes hand in hand with graphics and design. I’d love to give music videos, album art, live-show graphics a try in my next job. A few months ago I went to a concert and recognized a ton of the plugins and programs that the backgrounds looping behind them were made with.

Sad? Ehhh maybe a little.

Let me know if you can help me out.

I updated my demo reel by adding and subtracting a few things. I added a few clips like my Adobe Contest Entry and my Paper Stacking Desk. Most of the stuff remained the same, I just added a few more things I have done in Cinema 4D.

Overall, I tweaked the rest of my site as well. I removed the links page off of the main part of the site, because it was pretty much useless. All the pertinent links are on the Blogroll to the left. I adjusted some of the formatting of my blog, updated my resumè, all sorts of exciting stuff.

OK my reel is back up and running, I updated it by adding a the Current TV promo to it and changing the order of certain clips.

In other news my career as a student is likely over, as I will be graduating in the next few days. I’m working on updating my resume page in anticipation of looking for a job.

I also added a new blogroll link, the MographWiki, a great resource for motion graphics.

I decided to post about this as I wait. I’ve updated my reel but I’m having trouble getting it uploaded. I know there’s probably millions, perhaps billions of people confused as to why they can’t watch it right now, but I assure that it will be back up soon.
