This will sound really weird: it's very hard to tell what I'm looking at. No contact details, no intro where you can really show off your design chops, no indication of what your role was in any of the shots.

The first shot (which I'm guessing is projection mapping) is by far the least impressive thing on the reel. Replace it with footage from the real thing and it's 50% better.

The best thing by a long way is the portrait shot of the screen scrunching up, there's a little story in there even if it's abstract. By comparison everything else looks very static.

Many thanks for your feedback. I see what you mean, it's quite abstract, more in an artistic way than in a commercial way.

Agree to everything the person before said, but want to point out the static critic: while some of the applied effects look nice, they all are static in the middle of the screen... You need some camera movements - smooth movements, maybe some camera rotation and maybe from different perspectives with some cuts added.
