Can I critique the critique or is that too douchey for words? Anywho, I like how long it was and appreciate your time on that one, I also like how the content for this one was in part less polished than some previous ones, especially the experimental stuff, and how you didn't slam it right away for being less professional, there's' alot of people, I guess, who read/watch your stuff who could find 'reel world' (sorry) criticism a little daunting. Great work as always Cpt Gorilla This was a fantastic episode, many reasons. Can I critique the critique or is that too douchey for words?

It almost always looks unprofessional. Yeah, I agree, Don’t use other people’s logos unless you are ACTUALLY doing a spot for them. It almost always looks unprofessional.

Aside from using tutorial stuff, using big brands unwarrentedly looks terrible unless you're amazing. Good question tho.

I'm self employed (somehow!) and I have to do a lot of all nighters etc. trying my best to accomplish something unfamiliar, even to come up with something that looks absolutely turds. BTW that 'blokes' of yours is crazy good, I downloaded it from vimeo and watch it all the time, really want to try something of quality like that. @Matt, couldn’t agree more, especially when you find all the different mixed media so fascinating, as always there seems to be the odd person who can do it all… I’m self employed (somehow!) and I have to do a lot of all nighters etc. trying my best to accomplish something unfamiliar, even to come up with something that looks absolutely turds.

Ha ha I'm kidding, maybe tear Andrew Kramers to bits while you're at it ;) Yeah do it, it’ll be like a diss record of the motion graphics world, be interesting to see what jerzy comes back with… Ha ha I’m kidding, maybe tear Andrew Kramers to bits while you’re at it ;)

I think that most of the time, modeling stuff doesn't belong on a mograph reel. If you do great modeling, maybe you have a separate reel or photos of your models? Maybe there is a more fun way to show off your models rather than spin them around? It’s tough. I think that most of the time, modeling stuff doesn’t belong on a mograph reel.
