Potential employers receive many similar looking show-reels on a daily basis, often skimming over submissions and looking for something to grab their attention and stand out from the crowd. I decided to have a research of existing show-reels that I feel break the norm and make an impact. I will try to apply some key aspects of these reels to my own piece to create something that will impress employers and make my portfolio memorable.
'Sam Westall Concept Art Showreel'
While I believe this artist could have put more varied original work into his show-reel, I was drawn to it as a whole because of the soundtrack he used which varied with each sketch and added emotional context to his images. The 3D effects he layered over the work created interest and some excitement for the viewer and gave off the impression of movement and action in an otherwise still image. These combined helped the drawings to tell a story without animating them
'Tiago Hoisel CGI Illustration Reel'
This artist has a very noticeably unique style which he enhances through the design of his show-reel. Not only does it improve the viewers experience while they look at his artwork, but it also showcases the artist's talents further and highlights his creativity in all aspects. It shows how the artist considered a 3D extension to his 2D work and how he has knowledge of various roles in the industry and can design his work to suit a 3D environment.
