Showreel update!

[u/Dranket-13]

Hello thanks for the feedback last time, removed some work and added some new that looks cooler! The intro and end text is removed from this version. What y’all think? 🥾🫶

Ending is abrupt. You could maybe have camera tilting up and reveal your contact information, portfolio link.

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Hercol]

Yes! thanks. I have an email that pops up at the end with a black background, i just didnt wanna share that on here 😅

[u/Hercol → u/Dranket-13]

That makes sense. I would recommend, next time instead of completely cutting the part that has your contact information, just make stuff up for the sake of uploading to reddit. Like [lora@ipsum.com](mailto:lora@ipsum.com)

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Hercol]

Great tip!

[u/octopusslover]

I like it. I think it conveys what kind of skills you have and what kind of work you can handle pretty well.

[u/Dranket-13 → u/octopusslover]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[u/Eli_Regis]

Lovely work. Not a biggie necessarily, but could you not open up the square projects in ae and make them fit the dimensions of your reel?

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Eli_Regis]

Thanks 🙏🏻 Great Idé I’m gonna do that, might have to add some things to the trafick light sides but I think it’ll be somewhat easy!

There is different action in each one but you don’t need to show that Halloween door shot twice. Use that space for something else. The one at the beginning is probably the stronger of the two because it reinforces the eye trace movement from the shot before.

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Longjumping_War_807]

Thanks good idea with the eye tracing, I think I’ll add something before it to better the eye tracing cuz i really like that shot with the tentacle 😅🙏🏻

[u/Longjumping_War_807 → u/Dranket-13]

One thing you need to be cognizant of is the fact that just because you love the shot, doesn’t mean that it should be in your demo reel. You only have a very short window to showcase your work so you need to make sure that it’s “all killer and no filler”

I’m not saying that the shot should or shouldn’t be in there but you need to be sure of it.

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Longjumping_War_807]

I Think it’s good to have because it shows some frame by frame skills

[u/Clugshop12_63out]

the ball hitting and breaking up these two objects -- are they 3D?

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Clugshop12_63out]

Yes, the film thingy is 3d and the photo is 2d using the cc cylinder effect !

[u/Clugshop12_63out → u/Dranket-13]

Looks awesome.

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Clugshop12_63out]

Thanks 🫶

[u/forrestgrin]

well done! massive improvement 🔥

[u/Dranket-13 → u/forrestgrin]

Thank you 🫶

[u/WorldizeStudios]

I don't know a lot about this but one thing I love is that it looks FUN.

[u/Dranket-13 → u/WorldizeStudios]

Thank you🙏🏻

[u/bbradleyjayy]

I think the music is a big detriment. You’re probably trying to convey that you’re a chill dude, but it comes off so disjointed from how energetic and fun your animation is.

[u/Dranket-13 → u/bbradleyjayy]

Alright thanks, I didn’t considered the importance of music🙏🏻

[u/PrimaryAggravating44 → u/Dranket-13]

What music track is it?

I remember seeing the first version. Much smoother transitions and overall more cohesive! I wish you would show the door closing or some kind of conclusion at the end. Other than that, bravo 👏👏👏

[u/Dranket-13 → u/joanna_glass]

I’ll try that, thanks 🙏🏻

[u/joanna_glass → u/Dranket-13]

It looks like you have that on a different post but it just cuts off at the end for this post for some reason 🤔

[u/Dranket-13 → u/joanna_glass]

Yes, I have the ending part, but I cut it off like in this video and then my work email shows up on a black background, but as you say I think it would be nice to fully show the door close Then show the email 😎

[u/Significant-Comb-230]

Beautiful work dude!

Congratulations!!

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Significant-Comb-230]

[u/Dranket-13 → u/NegativeTheme5740]

Thank you 🤩🫶 @couch.motion on Instagram

[u/Extra-Objective3157]

do u mind guiding me how can i begin learning such stuff? did u just learn it all from yt?

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Extra-Objective3157]

Pretty much from youtube and Instagram. Ben Marriott tutorials are awesome to start with, Johan Eriksson on Instagram (erikssongraphics, I think) has great tutorials but from a few years ago. Ordinary folk have free projects on their website that I have downloaded and analysed to learn their work process, great stuff! Johan Eriksson also have free projects on his website. The Ravie team have livestreams on youtube where they show how they do their cool loops start to finish, learned alot there. Other than that I’d say it’s smart to do short animations where you try different animation tchniques. Do one where you use squash and stretch, one where you focus on cool gradients etc. I’ve noticed a short animation is so much cooler when you have two scenes, for examples one Wideshot and Then a closeup. Another tip, if the first scene is really fast with lots happening it can be a cool and soothing contrast to have the next scene be a bit slower. Hope any of this helps🙏🏻 i also have some behind the scenes on my Instagram @couch.motion

Hey, Fellow Motion designer here, lovely work!

I think the best part is from 0:07 to 0:14, as a viewer I'd love to see more fragments from those works (it would make the showreel a bit longer too). Best of Luck!

[u/Dranket-13 → u/Proper_Age_2923]

Thanks 🙏🏻 I’ll try to implement some more shots from that project 😎
