Dont be dissuaded by amazing reels... A lot of the time it is a team effort... When I was first starting out I used to look at peoples reels who only had a few years experience and it really made me feel like i wasnt learning fast enough... then I discovered that even if you partake in a small fraction of a huge project is it acceptable to post the best parts of that project... I personally would not do that but I see some of the best reels usually the designer did not do all of the work alone... but that is just the nature of this business when sometimes a 30 second TV spot can take over a week or more to create alone.... Either way dont let amazing reels get you down...

I got a lot out of watching this video and hope you keep doing it. I like that you show the reel and then go back and make your comments. This gave me a chance to make my own evaluations and then see how they matched up with yours. If this is enjoyable and efficient content for you to create, I suspect your audience would gladly watch this series on a weekly basis. Like 272 other people, I hope you pick mine for next time.

@AndrewMarston4 жыл бұрын
@@BenMarriott The format is solid IMO. I think the one point of confusion for me was whether or not I needed to resubmit my reel via the form to be considered for the potential next video. One other idea I wanted to suggest that would grow the community on this channel and cost you very little effort is a weekly or monthly community project or assignment similar to Peter McKinnon's PM Photo assignments that he does each Tuesday. You would give a theme and/or parameters and we make an animation based it. Submissions could be via Instagram # so your brand would grow there at the same time. The effort from you could be as minimal as resharing a few of the submissions or even as much as a roundup video highlighting some nice pieces and then announcing the next theme. For me, it can be difficult to keep motivation up creating practice projects for myself that don't have a purpose, and this sort of community participation project would be motivating. Just a thought. I realize you've only got so many hours in the day.

Reels are fun and a worthwhile exercise, but to be honest, a portfolio to me is better. I want to see the completed projects you've done. It's easy to cut something slick together using the best few seconds from several projects. What's much more telling, is how you handle a full project and keep it visually interesting the whole length of the video. If you can show me that, I'm much more interested in hiring you than just what you put on your polished reel. I still like these break downs though!

With reels the hardest part I find is a lot of reels show work that has been done in teams... Sometimes large teams... Does that justify say if I was a colorist on a huge Disney project should I post the most amazing clip in a show reel from the film? I almost feel that is deceitful slightly but I guess most resumes are usually "fluffed" anyway... That has always been my issues when hiring from show reels... Usually some of the best reels are usually team and/or studio based... but I have also seen reels where they state the sections they have been part of specifically... I feel that should be a prerequisite when distributing a reel...

I included that reel to show that it doesn't matter if you've done lots of professional work, the same rules apply. You should trim out your weakest shots and focus on your strengths.

@@BenMarriott Which I understand when it comes to that, but when you wanted people to submit their reels, I thought it was a way to critique the ones who are desperately in the midst of trying to break in the field... so I was wrong on that. No disrespect to her, but she already is above and beyond most of your subscribers who are in the process of growing within motion design so for her to even put in her reel is like Michael Jordan signing up for a basketball tournament at a local park lol. Realistically speaking, people scouting for designers will see these big names that she worked with on her resume and 95% likely to be interested in her before even checking out her motion reel. But with the scrubs like me who have zero professional experience, since many companies prefer someone like her, our motion reel will be the only deal breaker with zero room for errors. I still appreciate that you're taken the time to do this because no other mograph KZbinr is doing this. Chris Do from @The Futur proposed this as well back in 2018 and has yet to even critique anyone's work lol and I'm pretty sure, he just gave up on it.
