My first demo reel..........ouch.

Someone on the AM forums posted their first reel and so I had to dig mine up to take a look. I haven't seen this in about six years, and when I watched it I almost died of laughter. This was my very first reel coming out of school. Yeah ouch......seriously......amazingly.....awful! But I thought this was fantastic at the time! I wish they had animation mentor back then.....

Go ahead, have a laugh on me!

B-O-D-Y-----------s?

Ok so this is certainly not the best animation I have done but I had alot of fun with what time I had to do it. I really liked the line of dialogue and I wanted to test out a new workflow idea. Well, the workflow idea didn't pan out so well but I thought the 11 second club was a great place to test it out. At work I get to see so many different workflows from different animators that my workflow is constantly evolving a bit. Some things work, some things don't but I think it's important to try new things and always be learning. This one just happened to teach me what DOESN'T work for me, ha ha. But it's always worth a shot......
