This week I presented my block out showreel to Jon and the rest of the class. In the presentation I briefly discussed why I'm interested in the job role of an animator, talking about the cartoons that influenced me. Next i moved onto talking about what I found out from watching other peoples portfolios on the internet, mentioning that I found the animation related showreels to more like sketch shows that really did entertain me. Which is a good thing as that's what a piece of animation should do. Finally I played my showreel a few times to the audience. I was happy with the reaction and feedback, there was confusion however at the beginning with my first piece of animation to where it was actually set. But once I explained in was set with the character in a roller coaster and not wanting to go on the ride it was clear and it got a few laughs. I have been making a few tweaks to the character diorama (middle) part of my showreel, as part of the feedback I got was that part went on too fast.
Nearing the end of my presentation I talked about that I would be starting to turn my storyboards into full animation by this weekend and over the Christmas holidays. Something I would also like to do If I have the time is to add possibly more animation to the showreel, that's of course if I get on well the animations I plan to do over the holiday.
