what clips to use for my showreel

[stevenbhn]

Hi i have my own website

www.stevengardner.co.uk

on this site is a number of animation clips, i want you to tell me what ones to use and ones not to use on my showreel please.

The cereal box and lipsync have been updated but are not updated on site.

Also any critique on clips that can be improved before they go one would be great.

i want a character animation post.

Do i need to put on some drawing skills yes/no?

thanks

i really like ur style, there is a lot..but for instance for that first football animation, it is way to fast.. i watched it slower, and there is so much u can't see.. which is a shame cause its so good..slow it down man;)

looking good

as for the things u should put in your demo reel or whatever..i would add what u think is best

i like your original characters, as well as the bipeds (i assume that's what they are?)..if u want to keep it simple, but make the characters and backgrounds looking nicer..i would increase the quality, and perhaps make the backgrounds one color..

for the walking scene's u might want to spin the camera around the character as he walks..to make it more appealing to the viewer, and also so the viewer sees all sides of the character..

for the character u worked on with the sword, the mess looks a little meshed up on his right shoulder/rib cage area. u might want to clean that up b4 u put it into a demo reel

i really like your style, and i would go with simple renders...
