• Really great show reel demonstrating your body of work. I enjoyed watching the dinosaur lip sync the most, the mouth animation was on point. And the overall way you portrayed the characters emotions to the situation, was done beautifully. Well done, overall every eliminated was animated well. Keep up the good work and keep practicing.
• Nice moves! Cossack dance a bit floaty. Lip sync shows real promise and body language was good. Ape animation was really well weighted but needed softening on some of the heavier landings.
• Some nice moments of animation in here, overall performances just need some attention to weight. i.e - 0:21 of the first dance, this feels too floaty with no weight considered. Also 1:13 - when cup falls, the speed is a little odd ( maybe try a speed ramp to help with feeling of gravity ) Guy in chair talking is good, a little floaty but definitly not bad. The secondary animation is nice ( hair , hands ) would be nice to see more of this, and snappier animation and timing. ( nothing crazy though as this isnt exactly a high energy performance ) so choose where to use it. Gorilla walking has good foundations, it is in need of adding the feeling of weight to it, and weight transfering across its movement ( when hands contact ground there should be a shift in weight ) look more closely at video references of a gorilla walk ) hopefully this will help . To compare it would be good to see a cross reference overlayed ontop of the gorilla to better see a comparison. Difficult to comment on concept potential as it is a showreel of animation performance. Overall, good stuff. Has great potential as an animator. Keep practicing and implementing animation principles across your work to improve it and push it further.
• Some nice sequences here. Good to see some weight and snappy pose to pose animation in some of the actions. All the best for your future in animation.
• cool reel! I really enjoyed watching your work - you really bring your characters to life - well done!
