Yotube: Animation Reel

Yotube’s Animation Reel 2016

I enjoyed this reel because it consisted of a lot of unique styles and different types of animation, such as character animation and motion graphics. The animations were all visually appealing and kept my interest. The music is extremely upbeat and lively, but in a way that is not distracting from the reel. The transitions seemed to be smooth and everything was pretty high quality. This reel could possibly be improved with the addition of labels that tell the titles of the projects or the names of any software used to create them.
