i really really really like this image

how many threads did you make on /gd/ ? This in't your blog. I remember your frenchfag name and your dorky logo.

Anyway, there are tons of people who study motion graphics as their major, and they are VERY good (I don't do it myself, but here's one of my friend's reel https://vimeo.com/63595565).
It's a high-stakes business and you really need to master 3d as well as 2d, plus having original style(s). But it's a rewarding discipline if youre ready to devote your life to it, and you get a lot more creative freedom than in graphic design.

So far it looks good OP, but a few things I would do different are:

- Adjust some colors. For example: The circle containing 'hi' at the very start curses with the background color. Also the background color of the slide with the Adobe logos don't match color wise

- Do something more with de last half minute. It's a bit boring compared to the rest of your video. As it contains less movement, you could say there is a style difference. Do something with the cat for example, or chop up the information you want to bring across in smaller packs

Good luck!

busted I guess. This is the second thread I made, sorry if Im breaking the rules. I guess I'll go back to my tumblr blog with my 5 sad followers.
Thanks for the advice, I just started getting into 3d and I'm really hoping to grow in it. I didn't study animation, but I've been doing 2d animation for 10 years so I got foundations down. Your friend has a lot of neat effects but his actual animation is not that good really. I've noticed a lot of motion graphic artist their work lack weight.

Thanks for the input. I'll see what I can do!

This is very well done and I can tell it took a lot of effort, especially the 3D monitor thing. What did you do that in? Keep up the good work and make some sample projects and a site, you'll get hired soon for sure.

It's not really a motion graphics reel though. It's a motion graphic showcasing his work, a lot of which isn't motion at all.

As I kinda said above. You're not showcasing motion very much, if it's a motion graphic specific job then you might want to throw in some actual mograph stuff you've made. If this is just a general resume type thing I think it's fucking great.

It showcases your work and skill decently, just make sure you have somewhere static to view high-res version of your work. It's a cute little way of promoting yourself though.

The pacing in a few areas is off imo. Where the icons are coming up for the programs you know, that needs to be a lot faster. The end I don't think needs to be as long as it is, but I see why you did that.

The end screen I don't like. The paint splotches don't go with the rest of the flat graphic style of the rest of it / your work so I wouldn't suggest using that. Also srsly update your business card, that looks really boring and awful for a designer. Remember your grid structure, hierarchy etc.

I wish I was better at motion graphics. I took a class last semester for my major but it was literally a professor putting on lynda tutorials and not doing anything, I made some ok stuff but nothing really portfolio worthy. I need to practice more but it's hard to find the sheer hours it takes me to learn AE.

Definatley showcases your skills with being able to use the programs because AF gets pretty tricky after so props to that, I think the content is a little cheesy but I don't really think that's the point, I understood it more as filler to show what you can do which is fine imo. Keep it up mane
