My demoreel is up! Click on the link below to view it. I’ll try to update it periodically - It’s already missing some material, but it’s nice to finish things sometimes ;) . The material on the reel is all done by me, except for the elephants dream clips; I selected a few shots in which I had done the bulk of the character animation. Of course, the direction and character rigging is mine, as well as a bit of the modeling. The credit for the rest ( texturing, rendering, lighting…etc ) goes to the orange team. The short clip of the canary flying is my animation test of Feifi, a character made and rigged by Manos Digitales, for the upcoming movie Plumiferos. The music in the reel is by Jan Morgenstern, who also did the sound and music for Elephants Dream.
The streaming video embedded in the page is cortado - an applet written in java by the nice folks at fluendo. The download on the page is for the same ogg (using theora and vorbis encoding- info at xiph ) that’s in the stream. There’s now also an lavc mpeg4/divx encoded avi.
If you have troubles with both the download and the stream, I recommend you try VLC , a nice cross platform (linux, windows, mac) video player that can play almost anything you can throw at it.
I hope you enjoy the reel!

pretty cool.. even some stuff i hadn’t seen before. good stuff.
somehow some of the clips you had chosen seemed very short.. just when you started getting the feel of the animation, it changed.
also i missed seeing some text information on screen.. although all of this was mostly about animating i guess?
oh, and just like on Matt’s reel, those charactesr look thousand year old dugged from the ground europians. what’s wrong with you people? do something else.

Yeah, I don’t do too well with text, really ;) The goal was to keep the reel under a minute (at which I failed by a bit…) Sorry about the characters, we followed some sketches made by suspicious european characters….. ;)
