6 animation Demo Reel Dos and Don'ts

• This article is about Don Kim teaching the dos and don'ts about demo reels and how it can help you get your first job. One thing you can do is only include your best work in your demo reels. Don't put anything in it that you think might not be your best even if you have a sentimental attachment to a particular shot. One thing you shouldn't do is make your reel 5 to 10 minutes long because the people reviewing your work doesn't have time and might get bored. You can begin your reel with your best shot and end with one of your best shots too, to keep them interested. Don't put to many top titles, transitions and underscores. Pay attention to the shots you edit together and how the shots relate in your demo reel. Also do many other things than just a demo reel like a portfolio, life drawings, color studies, short films, story boards and many other things
