Student Animation Reels

hello gang 😎 here are some reels I thought are good for sharing after talking in today's class. I found them all on Vimeo. 

The first one is short, only about 00:45, but I believe this is a good example of using the "lower third" for crediting work that isn't yours, such as the character models in this particular animation reel

The second one includes what I can only assume is a lip sync using a prebuilt model like we did for ours, so I figured this reel is good because it's content is similar to things we also have from class projects

Third one is super short, but has the credits done in a way that isn't distracting, and also I thought had a good example of music that also isn't too distracting for the content in the reel

This fourth one is not really 3D animation, but has some stop motion which is cool and also some unique 2D animation. personally i liked this one so I'm including it

after going 8 pages deep I'll end it there. have a good night!
