The Best Motion Graphics Showreel Ever? Showreel Review #3

[@BenMarriott]

The first showreel by Giovanni Bocchi contained copyright claimed music so I'm afraid I had to replace it. I did my best to capture the vibe with what I had. Please watch the original in all it's glory here: vimeo.com/385007593 It really takes it to another level. Sorry, Giovanni.

...I think I actually like the replacement music you chose better than the original, great work.

[@nghbrhood6848]

detore same

[@beroberoberoberobero852]

wow.... it REALLY takes it to another level, glad i watched it

[@walterbohm5632]

Damn that was whole vibe. Just saw it. Its amazing

[@Tsicky]

I love how you don’t sugar coat your advice. You want to help animators and you give straight honest advice how to improve. Love the content keep it up

[@pachuco714lalo]

I bet they all named their layers in each project

[@BenMarriott]

If I find out otherwise there's going to be hell to pay...

[@karbine1990]

Uh oh..

[@AndrewMarston]

Great work Giovanni, Kuba, and Aimee. I think it was Chris Do in his SoM podcast interview that said by 10-15 seconds he already knows if he's going to call you or not. Also, Aimee, for whatever it's worth, I thought the shot at 9:02 that Ben suggested to remove might attract certain corporate clients. I hope we keep seeing reel reviews like this, very helpful.

[@BenMarriott]

I definitely agree about the first 10 seconds, gotta make that opening strong for that reason. Good point about that one shot. It definitely depends on what work you want to get out of your reel. :D Thanks for the awesome comment my man

[@kubamatuszczak5619]

Thank You!

[@huwharvey]

Definitely keep them coming please, Ben! These videos are always an instant click when I see them pop up.

[@ariezabeth]

I kind of want you to review some really shocking bad reels so I have more relevant advice for how to revamp mine 🤣 But it is awesome to see people's amazing work too and your feedback on all these awesome artists!

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, I might have to do a special call-out for "send me your first reel" I don't want to be too mean.

[@dianasaurstudio]

Wow, another great portfolio review! I think after watching a lot of these I feel that i'm starting to take note of what's important and what's weakest so I can self-edit a bit before I post. It takes a lot of guts to put your stuff out there and I love how you're both honest and gentle about it so we can all grow together.

[@jamesbali1300]

Yes more of these please Ben, i learn so much for these reviews. Keep it up!

[@brightsunart4957]

Thank you for taking the time to review these works!

[@halfahelix3946]

Ah! Only a week went by and my wish came true. This is my favorite series of yours. Thank you! Can't wait for more. 😊

[@thinklist]

OMG! Goosebumps 🧟‍♂️ what a blast from the past 👍

[@chaardewar]

Excellent work ben.... Make this kind of videos more often. i love to see new content like this

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much dude! I love making these, so they're going to keep coming

Awesomesauce once again, Ben! :-D

[@jameskirk5600]

Im cry...this is great...

[@b1176]

Hey Ben, do we need to re-submit to your showreel list? I did an episode or two ago. These reels are super inspirational. Killer work!

[@devondonis8540]

Love these reviews...great way to showcase other artists :)

[@Anttimation]

Really enjoying this series. Would be nice to see some less jaw-dropping reels too, which is why I've submitted mine and every time excited to see if it made it or not, haha.

[@arnav3133]

but can i just say: ben your hair is awesome

[@mauricio919]

The first one (the best) and third one were so fun to watch, the second was just annoying, couldn't wait for it to end

[@PedroPascoaPedro]

in comparison it's not as difficult to execute yeah, but I feel all shots on this first reel are essential, I love the lighthouse one.

[@EclipseMall]

Thanks! Now I have good enough advices to create my own showreel!

[@RiccardoAlbertini]

Giovanni Bocchi, represent!

[@louiss1625]

Giovanni's reel blew my fkn mind.

[@gabirusky.]

I am working on creating my first, and proudly produced, showreel. IDK how long it will take... so time to work more!

[@LalitaM14]

MORE OF THIS PLEASE

[@AustinThomasFilms]

8:13 I was curious what you were going to say about Jack Stauber because I'm not sure what the professional opinion is of using copyright music in a reel. I've heard varying opinions. Is it okay? Would you avoid it?

[@ThisGalaxyCat]

Damn motion graphics is cool and i really want to try to do some but unfortunately i don't have pc or laptop

[@BenMarriott]

That sucks my friend, hopefully you can find a way to mograph soon :)

[@ThisGalaxyCat]

@@BenMarriott yeah man i really hope so, mograph is one of my favorite things other than graphics design 😂

[@maipardhan]

I got a laptop last year and I need the skills. Giovanni bocchi really shook me.

[@ZakuHD]

Maybe try something analog if there's no other way just now. Something like flipbooks, sketching, comics, what ever. If you find something you like ,you might find that it helps your designs once you have a pc

[@zadogholovbeza]

SO USEFIL THANK U

[@BenMarriott]

Thank YOU so much for watching :D

[@reallynow5357]

I LOVE THESE 😍

[@stephaniecardeman9717]

Hi Ben I really like your work. I just graduated and feel in love with motion design recently. Could you maybe make videos explaining where to start, how to get good at it at professional level or maybe share your story? I see a lot of great work and only wish to get this good at one point but not sure how lol Thank you :)]

[@h611_]

This videos are so good i've watched it 3 times today lol

[@alejandrasalinas123]

I looove this kind of content Ben, Keep it going. I didn't Study graphic design or animation but I am trying to learn on my own. Could you please make a video with advice for people like me who are self-taught and don't really have a clue on how to proceed? what to learn? Good courses to take? Thanks! Ps. I really admire your work. Much love from Colombia :)

Thanks friend!

[@kcon6666]

Ben Marriott no problem. I really enjoy your after effects tutorials

[@audreym2066]

Hello Ben :D some of my works are in vertical format, mostly for instagram stories. Do I need to rework it into horizontal format? Or put some explanation text to fill the blank space? Or the text will be distracting? I have been searching for some showreel that has vertical works, but never finds it haha. Do you have any advice? Thank youu 😀😀😀

Jesus was this a reel or short film? All went well together. Fair to say it’s a Cinema4D reel?! Ok so now back to the drawing board. Mine looks nothing like this and is all in AE... sigh

[@bokki94]

Yes it's mostly Cinema 4D and Redshift. All the post-production is done in AE

[@motionzrk3913]

Very helpfull tips here thank you. Are willing to do any similaire review on small projects, so we can learn from our mistakes?

[@BenMarriott]

Open up After Effects and just start clicking until something starts moving! The best way to learn is by doing and failing... a lot

@@BenMarriott I started by learning to create vectors on illustration maybe next step will be to animate them on after effects

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

The content itself was good, but the presentation was boring. It looks like there was no thought given to the editing. A great demo reel will not only show you stunning work, but it should also lead you on a path visually with the connection between chosen shots. That aspect was non-existent.

[@tkherkhich2773]

Very pretentious to comment and critic better people than you!! And I mean better by far

[@worstever5151]
