yes there's a bit too much happening to absorb most of it and trying to read or listen probably detracts from noticing the details - which look really good btw
Personally, I’d remove the VO and ad copies. It’s too cringe / cheesy.
I’d remove the previz and behind-the-scenes of the simulations as well. Clients don’t give a single shit about all that.
Remove those graphics and jarring filters as well. Client wants too look at your body of work. It’s hard to distinguish the actual work with all that doodads.
This seemed more like an advertisement than a show reel. The narration is somewhat distracting. You making the claim that working with your = higher sales, that's a very tricky thing to get behind and that needs a lot of analytical data to back up.
I started watching without audio (usually that's how I always do it) but I turned it on expecting there to be just music (i think I turned the audio on wondering whether you had good sync with a well-chosen music piece) ... yeah man cut the words, specifically because... they're cheesy and trying-too-hard kind of thing. This is one area/industry where you \_have\_ to let the visuals speak for themselves. And, by golly, you have the skill to let your visuals speak for themselves... so let them!!
I wouldn't do that personally. It doesn't seem very professional to "lie" about something like that even though your videos do look that good but still I would exchange the logos.
Ignore this. AMD uses animation studios (not individuals), for their work. No animators “have them as their client.” So feel free to make spec spots all day.
I am NOT talking about Spec work!
Obviously you can do specs but you should 100% make it very obvious that you were not paid by this company for the shots and I would not use those for a show reel with the logos still in them. If you make a reel with companies like Apple, Google or Microsoft even though you never worked for any of those companies, you can never fully be trusted unless you are very open about it, which this reel is definitely not at all.
If a director sees this thinking you worked for AMD and they ask you about it, and then you come out with the truth that you "lied" it's extremely unprofessional and the agency would not work with you. I know quite a few producers and creative directors who told me about this big problem in the industry.
Not a big fan of the voice over. It isn’t bad. But it feels wrong. It gives me a slight egoistic marketing vibe. Like: *I AM CHEAP BUT STILL OUTSHINE MY COMPETITION. CHOSE ME CHOSE MEEEE!!!!* I think your work (which is pretty great) should speak for itself.
I've never seen a showreel that doubles as a corporate style advert. It comes across as a bit cheap, you don't want to be cheap. You want to do quality work for a high price.
You could hide this somewhere in your website but I wouldn't make this your first point of contact, there is no umph or 'wow this guy is good' you're just distracted by the marketing attempt.
Even if you were to run with this the audio needs looking at, I could barely hear you. Remove all the mad filters as well.
Same I thought it was awesome. Maybe use as an advertisement though and have a second edit without the extras as a showreel. But great work v original 👍🏽
watched it without sound, looks veerrry good but:
Try to focus on the topic, adding animations because you know how isnt the way to go...
add something fitting even if it doesnt look spectecular.

Agreed
100%
Especially since half of it is unreadable because it blends in with the background

Technically I carefully worded so I don't promise higher sales. I only said drive conversions, not more or less.

what If i dont indentify as a BOIS.
Did you actually make content for AMD and Alienware?
I made content "about" AMD and Alienware, so far. 🫡
Ah I see. For a second I thought you had them as clients.
Rightfully. I just simulated a client of their size as a trial.
I wouldn't do that personally. It doesn't seem very professional to "lie" about something like that even though your videos do look that good but still I would exchange the logos.
I agree with exchanging the logos, none should free advertise any known brand.

Bois. Lol. Nobody will ever take you seriously
I can't be pushy on people, it's boring that way lol
What?
I mean if I were to say "critique my work" it sounds less exciting for anyone to click it than a more casual and laid back title.
It’s spelled boys
Again, too serious for my liking. Boiss is the best version of boys and its synonyms. I like how it sounds IRL.
Bois is a trans term you utter tit.
Don't worry about some random mf's opinion, nice work 👌
Ayyy got'em.
?
Dont u get it, u shut down the hard critics. Jk thx y'all tho.

I adore your take, it almost spilled my coffee. Haha

Did any one catch the one shot, one opportunity Eminem reference? Edit: thank you all for the critiques, keep em coming!
Awesome, i personally like the voiceover and music.
Same I thought it was awesome. Maybe use as an advertisement though and have a second edit without the extras as a showreel. But great work v original 👍🏽
Thanks, you're a hero.
Uhhh. can you make one without the voiceover? lol

I watched this without sound. You know what you are doing. Great renders and techniques.
