Alec instructed us to find showreels that demonstrated good editing, so I found three that I think work really well.
This first one is by an artist I follow called Lemoncholy. She’s a student at Calarts, and I am always inspired by her work. Her showreel demonstrates her ability in a range of styles, and has editing that matches the beats of the music so it’s more aesthetically pleasing. I also really like her title card, the opening animation is super creative.
Again, I really like the opening animation, it’s simple, but really nicely timed with ease in and out of movements. The music choice is nice, with steady beats that make it easier to edit to. I like the timing of each clip.
This final showreel is nice, but I think it has a few issues. Some clips are a bit short and hard to process, the music choice is a little distracting, which takes away from the animation/ Otherwise, I like the variation of styles that were included in the showreel, and the pacing.
