I updated my online portfolio to include a new edit of my animation reel. I just wasn’t happy with the old version- it was put together in hurry, and I included things that in retrospect weren’t either necessary or appropriate. Seeing several of the excellent talks at Siggraph earlier in the month, especially those hosted by Animation Mentor, helped me make better decisions and edit a reel I’m more happy with. To summarize the process I’ve gone through: remove work that isn’t great, edit down unnecessary length. It’s obvious advice, and I’ve heard it many times, but turns out it’s been a slow process to really do it, to be ruthless, and only leave the strongest stuff.

Just looked at the new edit of your highlights reel – fantastic, with wonderful music added. Have sent the link to a few family folk who might be interested.
Well done, talented offspring!
Love, Dad
Glad you liked it! And yes, I’ve been telling people I would send them a copy for ages – now I’ve made a DVD I should mail that!
