Default My work over the last year or so.

FFR is being a slow mofo, so I won't post actual images.

This is including, 3D, 2D, Animation, and Motion Graphics.

I don't expect any of you to actually look at all of these, but if you do, props haha.

I've got even more than this, I just can't find some of it at the moment.

Oh yeah and I got a job as a professional 3D technical Animator/Industrial Designer for a company called Z-Line Designs, I can't really post a majority of the work I do for them unfortunately. =(

The electronics in your 3D stills lacked wires. Looked amazing apart from that lapse in realism.

Your animation shows a lack of familiarity with film direction or camera work. Yes, it would take more work, but animation works best when it mimics real-world camera work and editing. Don't use extended long takes that just move around because it's easy to do that with the computer.

Look at the Toy Story and compare it to Wall-E. Toy Story is a very entertaining film, but the cinematography on Wall-E blows it away completely, because Pixar aimed to emulate real-world cameras specifically. Some of Pixar's older shorts are even better examples of the pitfalls of stale computer camera work. Check out "The Adventures of André and Wally B." if you've never seen it. It was a technical feat at the time, but the camerawork on it is just not as interesting as it could be. It's almost as though they made it on the fly without storyboarding it.

Basically, work your camera like it's a real camera and edit the video like you would edit a video featuring live actors. The acting itself in the animation seems good, but it would be nice to see some animation with a higher-end look to it.

ps if you're giving out these things to prospective employers, you might do well to not use email addresses like "Darkshark9". Internet handles are OK in casual settings, but it's not very professional. And Katie. Who is Katie? You might think things like that would skate by without anyone seeing, but to have something like that in something you're giving to prospect employers is also not exactly the most professional thing ever.

I agree with all of this (except the wires part, I can't add in wires, my employer won't let me haha.), and I've learned a ton about camera work over the last year, especially after getting a job as an animator. I'm definitely no director however, and generally good camera work in 3d space is still something of a weak point for me.

As for the last few comments, I don't really need to send anything out to potential employers at this time, and those animations were some of my first finished pieces, so yeah, they pretty much suck haha. My next portfolio won't really be focused on animation as much, I'm trying to get into the field of Film VFX, which I feel like I could excel at, and I have a family member who could definitely get me a job in the industry when I'm ready.

Here's a shot I've been working on for the last few days, it's by no means finished at all, I've got a lot more to do to it, but it's getting there.

Looks great, but the tree ruins the ending due to the unrealistic lack of shadow/light change that should result from the explosion.
