Demo Reel Critique Episode 6
In this episode of GSG Demo Reel Critique, I asked my twitter friends “who wants their demo reel critiqued?” and got a great response. Thanks to everyone who offered up their reel. My hope is by talking about others work, there is something in YOUR reel that can be made better. Let me know what you think!

Come Say Hi At Siggraph 2010

Come visit the Maxon booth and say hi if your at Siggraph this week. I was lucky enough to be invited back to demo for Maxon in LA. My presentation is about how to quickly build, light, texture and animate a simple logo animation (pictured above) in Cinema 4D. Cineversity will be recording my presentation again, so I hope to be able to show it when they get it online. Hope to see you there.
