YO. I did some more work on my reel. Randolf helped me make a list of things I should change and I got about halfway through it. There are a few other things to do that are more intense...so I'm saving those for last. If I get all of the quick, easy stuff out of the way it will bring up my momentum for the heavy work. I think it's getting better, but I know it's going to keep on changing.
The intro is looking pretty nice. The poses are looking good. Try a cooler type for the 30 dead dj's and I know you can do better with the bg. I like the outro- Cool presentation of the life drawings. The tyrant piece looks nicer too, push the text effects further. The "roundhouse" is ok but you need to lower the hand so he's actually pointing at the glasses and not his forehead. Cut the first three matte paintings and replace them with some of your better self portraits or something, anything else. They just are not that impressive enough for a demo reel. Is the monkey/ tree painting a kung fu panda copy or was that an original?? Everything should match the skill level of the other pieces. Again, the lighting scene/ table & window is too simple, either populate it with some different materials like marbles, glass bottles, metallic objects, anything.. I just don't think its that impressive unless you add some assets to the scene. While the lighting is descent, your R Kelley room shows off the same lighting effect and makes the table piece look weak in comparison. Has Randolf made any comments on the diversity? It may be a problem, I know people who have tried showing off a diverse skill set have had trouble passing because the school isn't sure what you really want to do.. Good luck!
