Sorry BeHuman but thelittlepenguin84 is right. If you are self taught then you shouldn't be in possession of the Bishop Rig, I really liked your demo reel until i saw that shot. Knowing that you are using a rig specialized for only AM students VERY much took away from the appeal of your demo reel and even of the type of person you may or may not be. Honesty is a crucial thing, especially in this industry. If you aren't an AM student then take of that shot, just use another rig (one that you are allowed to use) and you will be good.

Good work!

The bishop shot isn't finished, anyways. Never put unfinished work on your reel. I think one version of that griffon walk should be enough. I'm not sure about the Disney font, either, maybe you should stick to a clearer and better readable one, and also because Disney might be a bit annoyed by people using their trademarked font.

Other than that, good luck!

Sorry guys, I really didn't know it was that big of a deal I'll remove the bishop part from the reel. Can we forget this happened and could I still get advice on the reel itself?

The Boris rig, along with a handful of jason ryans seminars were purchased. The AM rig was lent to me by a friend. I don't know what got through me when putting it in my reel, I do deserve a slap in the face. Thanks for the constructive comments guys, I'm fixing the reel as we speak and will be posting a revised version soon

People are very touchy about the Bishop rig, so good call removing that shot. Slap your friend who lent it to you because he could have gotten you into trouble there. The reel itself looks nice. I agree that if you are applying to games studios then do even more cycles. I'd perhaps even make two reels if I were you. One for tv/film and one for gaming. The two industries really do look for different things. As an aside, what music is that?

Alright guys, its done. I removed the "unlicensed rig" part, and I fixed as much as I could based on the comments given. I also am taking into consideration making 2 reels (1 for movies, and 1 for games) in the future, along with adding more body mechanic animations such as climbs. For now this is what I have :

Thanks for all the advice guys If anything else is really sticking out and should be fixed, do let me know ~

Cheers!

Again, the number of cycles will depend on what kind of studio you are applying to. That many cycles won't work for film/television but would probably be okay for gaming.
No wonder I liked that song, I loved Battlestar!! Thanks BeHuman

if you want to work in games and have time to do more pieces try doing.

2 characters interacting - a kill/throw

a character strafing in all 4 directions

some kind of emotive animation on the spot - a roar, a cower. something with personality but in a short timerange.


and try to use a rig that is more realistic than cartoony. this will put you above 99% of reels out there if you want a game job.

well done for listening about bishop.

Thanks Innes, I'll make sure to start working on that soon so I can fit it into my next reel
