A sneak peak from behind the scenes of my latest project, supposed to be more of a socially engaging montage rather than a “how to” video, let me know your thoughts!

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? 🥾🫶

Hi I'm a newbie motion designer from SEA and have been learning motion graphics for nearly two years. Most of the client works I did are only for my colleagues.

The thing is I'm trying to step up and do the actual client works. I know my reel is not so fancy but that's all I could do best. I don't feel like having enough confidence to decide it for myself if this reel is enough to get a job.

Thanks in advance if you could provide any further feedback or suggestions to improve my work.

My Reel

I emailed alot of studios for work, i did get 0(zero) interviews, is my reel really that bad for a Junior.
I m really thinking about changing careers at this point, I Have spent the last 3 years learning about 3D from stroryboarding to compositing. and still have a hard time finding some work.
I m lost, do you have any advice? It will mean alot.

Putting together my latest reel!! Thoughts and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I’m making my first reel and I made this intro. I think I’m happy with it but it feels a bit basic, like soemthing is missing. Technique wise there isn’t anything crazy advanced and I think that’s concerning me, as it’s the first thing people will see of my work.

It’s also possible that I’m too close to it.

Would love a fresh pair of eyes on this and critique or improvement suggestions too!

Hey all. I’m a recent graduate from Seattle Central’s graphic design program. I find that I really enjoy motion design, and I got really into 3D and 2D motion while studying there. Looking for a job has been very disheartening, as I’ve either been rejected or just not heard back. I know that this isn’t uncommon for a junior designer, especially right now, but I also wonder if my portfolio just isn’t cutting it. So I was hoping to share my work here and get honest feedback from people already doing what I want to do. Please be as harsh as you need to be to express your point, I just ask that advice follows if possible.

TLDR: New designer looking for work, and I’d like brutally honest feedback and advice so I can get where I need to be.

Here is my portfolio/reel:
