Animation Demo Reel dos and don'ts

    This article offers some helpful advice on making a good, submit-able demo reel of your animation works. One little slip up  can cause your reel to be tossed out and possibly not even get fully looked at by employers, as they have alot to sift through and not alot of time to do it. DO include only your best work, begin and end with killer shots, and be mindful of how you piece together shots and hand in a portfolio of extras. DON'T  hand in a five to ten minute demo reel (the shorter the better) or put in alot of over the top transitions and title (the animation should be the focus not the in-between stuff).

   Alot of useful info in here.... some of it is common sense like submit a portfolio with your reel and only use your best work, but straying from transitions and a legnthy reel were two bits off advice i wouldn't have considered at first, good to know! Overall this was quick and helpful the inclusion of example reels helped sell the point and I liked it.
