The biggest piece of advice is to create the type of work you want to get paid to do. This is applicable across the board for any industry. In this case of the feature animation industry, if you want to work for Disney, animate in their style (3d flowing movement, with magic and singing). If you want to work for Sony, animate shots that show exaggerated graphic poses with cartoony timing and squash n stretch. If you want to work on Marvel or Star Wars movies in VFX, animate humans and creatures in a hyper realistic mocap style. I could go on and on, but I think this advice trumps all others when it comes to making a shot for a demo reel.

@jeandenishaas 8 месяцев назад

Yes if you want to be that focused at the expense of variety, meaning if you’re set on one style then that will naturally exclude all other companies with different styles. But it would be the most optimized way to go.

What a timing J-D! Actually I'm working on my demo reel so is useful for me. So, far i have a basketball shot and a complex parkour shot that I will add to my demo reel in a couple of weeks.

How do you apply this if your just trying to get into college for doing animation

@jeandenishaas 2 месяца назад

I don’t know which college and what requirements there are. I would try to show a good grasp of the principles? At least bouncing balls for a solid showcase of timing and spacing and weight?

@SAS-di1jz 2 года назад

Dear J-D, I'm a huge admirer of your knowledge & highly appreciate your style of teaching. Currently I'm stuck with a confusion for my new game animation demo reel. Would be great if you can answer my question :) Looking at current market trend & job descriptions, there is a demand on working with mocap for animators. If I use mocap as a base animation clip & add keyframe animation to create a few Parkour/Action sequences, will it get considered as cheating? What is the best practice to follow for game animation demo reels, pure keyframe or mocap mixed animations? Thanks a ton!

@jeandenishaas 2 года назад

Thank you and you’re very welcome! Game anim reels are outside my scope but you can always provide a before/after comparison? I’d ask Harvey Newman about that!

@stever73 8 месяцев назад

I'm confused about a piece of your advice. Around 11:50-12:00, you say to not use a "existing performances" to animate to (the George Clooney clip). Isn't this just using reference, which is highly recommended by most animators? Obviously you shouldn't use animation as a reference because you're using another artist's interpretation to animate to, but why wouldn't you consider a live acting clip be acceptable as reference?

@jeandenishaas 8 месяцев назад

Because it’s not your own creative decision and you’re copying another artist’s performance from an existing piece of entertainment (just like using someone else’s animation as reference).

@stever73 8 месяцев назад

@@jeandenishaas I respectfully disagree. Every time we use live video reference, whether it's an acted, scripted performance by a known person or you video yourself performing the dialogue in your own representation, do we not do it over and over and over until we find our best take to use? I don't see a difference. Using animation as a reference is clearly copying another artist's interpretation, but I vehemently disagree with not using pretty much any form of live video as reference, no matter who it is as the basis of using live reference is to get the best performance. Just because I'm me and not Clooney should be irrelevant in this scenario.

@jeandenishaas 8 месяцев назад

@@stever73 Then we will have to disagree then. I’d find it highly uncreative and distracting to watch an animated movie and then suddenly a character acts out the same scene as let’s say Heath Ledger did in the Dark Knight. You want performances to be new. So acting it out by yourself or your acting buddy, coming up with new ideas is a lot more interesting than copying someone else’s performance from a movie or tv show.

@stever73 8 месяцев назад

@@jeandenishaas -agree to disagree, friend. I find that a live performance, no matter who it is, is a good source of reference if the performance is what you're looking for. To each their own.
