“Pink Monkey” is a jerk. His mom told me so. Keep it up Nick! We love you man!

Hell yeah, his stuff is great. But you don’t have to be better than someone else to give a helpful critique.

Hi Nick!
Funny, I thought the Barton Damer’s reel was hotter and better than yours, yet you found something to say….

Hey,

It’s so great you are doing this. I wish more people would follow your lead. I owe a lot to the feedback I get and I think this kind of discussion will help people improve.

On a whim, though I doubt you will get to it, here is mine (if anyone else want’s to crit it, go for it!): http://www.vimeo.com/5863504

Well that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. But then again so is Nick. It’s called a Reel Critique for a reason.

The last reel had a really frenetic pace throughout; which I liked. But honestly I think orlando’s had the best aesthetic (IMO of course.)

Though I know it’s important that these are FX reels and not editing ones, I really like one’s that include some live action elements — like Wii’s — or really agressive editing. — like Oralndo’s —

allthough your input on these reels are dead on, i dont really think you have a voice to say anything about the last reel. his skills are more developed than yours and he is the ideal designer that we in the industry look for.

Sorry, I have to respectfully disagree, Nick Rouge. I feel the reel critiques help not only the individual artists, but give an idea of what could be improved, what can be presented more effectively and HOW to approach creative problems for many still learning their craft (like me).

Nick (The Gorilla) has created a guideline of questions that challenge the creator to communicate more effectively.

Also, he gives extremely useful pointers based on his experience as a lead designer at a major firm. And, he’s willing to share his time and experience for a free critique. Invaluable contribution to students and pros, IMO. Thanks again, Nick.
